Six-line wrasse photo challenge.

[jersey]

Anybody else have difficulty photographing these guys? Camera is a Kodak DX3900. Let me see your wrasse pics. I know you guys can do better than me from what I've seen here. Take the challenge.

actually thats way better than any picture i ever managed to get of mine :D

[gregr]

well i have a Wrasse but it's not a 6-line- and your pic looks pretty darn good to me.
my wrasse was sold to me as a Filament Flasher Wrasse but i was in another fish store a few days ago and they were selling one (that looked identical to mine) that they called a Carpenter Wrasse. whatever- it's a great fish- doesn't pick on any other fish and after one night in the tank it was comfortable- eating and swimming and having a jolly good time.

Nice looking wrasse and pic. What kind of camera did you use? Here is another shot of mine.

Hi Jersey,

I have been trying to get a decent picture of my Sixline for ages now. He just won't pose for the camera. I have plenty of blurred shots as he darts away in search of yet another tasty morsel to eat (what a pig this fish is). LOL

I can sit in front of the tank and the wrasse will come and say hi to me every time but as soon as the camera appears he's suddenly Mr Elusive :rolleyes:

Here is my best attempt at a pic of him. If only I had scraped the coralline off the glass before the pic!!!! Ah well never mind :) Nice rear end of a fish though ;)

Same thing with my 6 line, dar away when i bring the camera out.

This is the best i could get:

thanks Jersey-
that shot was made with a Canon G2.
here is another shot of the same fish- same camera, by the way.

Incredible shot. I wish my wrasse would let me get that close. I would love to get a head shot up close. There is some much detail around their mouth and eyes. They sure are little pigs when they eat. I've seen mine run of with a piece of food half his length.

Until I just saw your last pic I thought the six-line wrasse was the sharpest looking wrasse. Awsome looking fish and picture. Here is another picture I shot about an hour ago.

thanks Jersey -
i was looking for a small fish to add to my tank- one that would fit in well with my clowns and coral beauty- and when my friend at the lfs suggested the filament flasher wrasse (he knows i love to take pictures of my fish) i didn't hesitate. one of the neat things about this fish is that within 12 hours he was out swimming in the open and took food the first time i fed the tank. the lfs guy said i should expect it to hide for a few days after introduction- so that was a great surprise.
i admit to choosing my fish for their photogenic qualities as well as their potential to get along with the rest of the tank inhabitants- i am a picture taking maniac :p

You want a pic of six line, I'll give you a pic of a six line. Unfortuntly my little buddy found a way out my tank through the back of a 2' slot in the back of my canopy to the carpet a few weeks ago after 1 1/2 years of enjoyment. RIP little buddy.

Added more live rock, six-line likes new rock work.

[jersey]

In his new hole.

Jersey,

You have him posing for you real well now :D Nice pics! I must try and get a few more blurs, errr, I mean pics of my little fellow :p

Regards

[jersey]

Thanks, think I'm getting used to my camera and it's settings.

[LisaP]

Jersey,

Just had another go at snapping my wrasse. It's not very sharp but at least I've got his head in the pic this time. LOL!

What about those freckles eh! :)

[LisaP]

Here's another :D
