Callos & Kilesa Spawns

[Razzo]

My callos have gone nuts! I stripped these fry today and have another female holding too...








My kilesa just spawned yesterday too... have a bunch of callo fry but kilesa fry yet. Hopefully this female will hold better than the last one.

Here's a video from a couple weeks ago from the callo fry tank

I am a recent convert from the point & shoot world to a DSLR. I am just starting to learn how to use the DSLR and I am really loving it! So much more capabilities. This first pic is in automatic on the DSLR and it stinks! The lighting is all wrong, the fish blur because they move around too much, and you can't tell what the true color on the fish is:




I started messing with the settings in manual mode with the goal of capturing motion (basically, chosing a faster shutter) and look how much the shots improved:

I am still learning but I am having fun with my baby steps
