Has to be my favorite fish to take pictures of. The colors are so vivid they look fake:

To me they are the toughest thing I shoot to get the colours "just right". The flash seems to blow out the whole set of colours but turning it off usually leaves me without what I think my eyes saw. These represent my best efforts.

I love the colors but please pardon the fin amputations and almost fish butt point of view!

Blue Angel?

Blue Angel?

Anyone got their Humann fish book handy? Which is it, blue or angelfish?

 

[robint]

okay... got my Humann book out...

the juveniles of both the Blue and Queen are very, very similar. The book says that the Blue has a straight 2nd bright blue bar while the Queen has a curved 2nd bright blue bar. I think the pictures shows all the vertical blue bars are curved, so that means Queen. Everyone agree?


sorry for writing on your photo, Jim. Thought it would be good to show what I read and see in the book.
