|  My Clowns, for your enjoyment
These two Ocellaris Clownfish are a pair I got recently, they are my most definitely "Pampered fish"!! Currently they are hosting a green frilly mushroom. During the day its about 4 inches across, plenty of room for the
both of them. At night it shrinks down so small that they are usually glued to each other, or the male hangs just
off to the side as he is in these.
I spent the better part of tonight trying to get these pictures. It wasn't made any easier by my subjects either.
Kind of hard to get them to sit still, kind of like getting a kid to sit still at photographer's.
My lights were off, so I used a Led flashlight to illuminate the area enough to raise the shutter speed
so they were not to grainy, which I think worked out okay.     _________ I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.
Every morning is the dawn of a new error.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
