Chiumanfu Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Just received some Royal Blue Tigers from FlipAquatics. They look fantastic and all 8+1 arrived healthy and active. Pics are undoctored except a little exposure adjustment. Canon SL1. 50mm F1.8 and 36mm extension tube. 1/100th-F13-ISO400. Flash directly above through umbrella modifier. I posted a vid of the unboxing (sort of) here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRNZr5m7Z4c Crazyfishlady, 35ppt, Johnnydok and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfishlady Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Great pics, beautiful shrimp! I watched the video - yikes on the kordon bag situation, so glad they all made it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiumanfu Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've had my eye on this guy since I received them. He/She is quite a bit different coloration from the rest. Can't wait to see what it looks like when it matures. mayphly and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiumanfu Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 It's been exactly 2 weeks and no fatalities. They've settled in nicely and are growing fast. Unfortunately "Little Red" seems to be loosing some of his rusty colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 They look great! Most of my adult OEBT have the rusty red coloration, especially when berried it intensifies. I have been thinking about getting a SL1 body for sometime now, any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiumanfu Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I love my SL1. For an entry level DSLR it offers great bang for the buck and includes features found on much more expensive models. I probably would have gone with one of the mirror-less models out now but the Canon EOS-M is a dud and I already have a bunch of Canon lenses. What ever you get, just make sure it has an optical viewfinder. Focusing in macro work isn't very easy without it. I wrote an entire article for Oblongshrimp describing my setup and procedure for shrimp photography. Keep an eye out for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrand Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Amazing! Great shots and beautiful tigers. Ive always preferred the ones with the rusty red color but have never seen them for sale. Are they not desirable? Or maybe im just missing the sellers that have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
