Definitely overcrowded. I do not keep more than 5 ranchus in this tank (I use bare tank).

Ur goldies look great! And I like the set up. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful photos

Do you mind sharing how you setup your camera to take these photos ?

Thank you. After reading [ Basic tips on aquatic photography ] understand most importantly, U need a flash on top of your tank.

My camera with a Canon 550EX speedlight mounting on a tripod. Canon 550EX speedlight flash turn away from the subject. I'm just using it's wireless function. Set the speedlight to 'Master'. I'll be holding another Canon 420EX speedlight. Speedlight flash point into the tank from the top. Canon 420EX speedlight set to slave. So the master flash from my camera will control the slave flash which I'm holding. Both will flash but since 550EX speedlight is flash away, only flash from 420EX speedlight is capture. Subject is lite up nicely.
