[kenw]

Randall,
Sure, you can use the pics, no problem! My full name is Ken Williams if you want to credit. If you want I can mail higher res. photos, but as they were taken with a basic Sony P71 camera, I had to blow them up a bit to get detail so quality isnt great.
Just checked out the site, looks really cool, will be checking it out for updates regularly!
BTW, here are some more pics of the guys:

Female tending eggs:

Fry Feeding at 2 days old:
(You can see belly full of BBS!)

I love the way mum and fry are both eyeing the camera head on in this one!

and my male Apisto Hongsloi Rotstrich:

Here is the tank they all share:

Zapisto,
Thanks for the compliments!
I dont think I can get a flash attatchment for the P71, I have to angle the camera so the flash does not glare in front of the fish. Some of the pics were taken without using the flash at all, but its hard not to get blurry pics with this setting. I use the Macro mode with the zoom fully out, to the widest setting and get as close as possible to the glass or further back if the subject is right at the glass, so its in sharp focus.
These shots were taken at highest resoloution, and chopped down to size.
Im no photographer but these is the way I seem to get best results with basic gear.
Hope this helps,

Ken
