I took some more pictures of my fish in my tank tonight. I picked up some new lights just for the task; I got some “work bench” lights. They are just some small lights that have a mettle cone around the bulb to direct the light to the area you want it at. I also used a couple of 150 watt bulbs to light up the area. This worked pretty well, instead of the 1/8th of a second the camera wanted to use before with out the lights, the camera was saying the best exposure time was 1/30th of a second. And it seams that that was a good time, I was able to get a few pictures of the fish eating. I have moved a lot plants around in the tank since the first pictures I took so the plant life will not look the same. I think I found the setup for the plants that I like, it will not stay the same though, I have some water wisteria that are growing like weeds, I hope to have the whole of the back of the tank filled with them in a few months as I keep trimming them down and replanting the trimmings, when trimming I trim only the stems that are so tall that they reach the surface of the water and I cut about 3 to 4 inches off the top and replant it.
You can see the new pictures with the old ones here
