Good flick, Dennis.....beautiful fish...

That's the way it is supposed to be.  You've never lived until you've seen it.  It is wondrous.

The fish are fair.  The male has a bump on his forehead.  The female is kinda pointy faced.  They aren't Dennis' fish.  The are from some guy in Australia looking to sell breeding pairs.

They aren't Dennis' fish.

Obviously they are not my fish, just a very cool video.

Dennis what is the fish in your avatar?

It's a head-on photo of Danio rerio var. frankei.  The Leopard Danio.  Here's the full-sized original...





And this is a side shot of a Leopard Danio.....

Those are quite the pectoral fins on that fish. Also an interesting spot on its head. The side view looks like a completely different fish.

Very nice. You have such cool fish.

Thanks Pauline!  I'm always amazed at the new things you see when looking at these fish in high resolution photographs.  It's like the barbels on some of these fish.  You never really notice them when the fish are just swimming around in the aquarium.
