I thought that would make a catchy title, my aquarium has many of my favorite pets but here is just a few some baby convicts and algae eater, the convicts are very aggressive but get along with the algae eaters in the tank, the sharks are a different story and are too small to bother the other fish yet. Thanks for looking, All comments welcome.

Hi Norm,

It looks like a great aquarium. That is a beautiful algae eater and the convicts are striking as well. Good luck this week.

Thanks Steve and RT for your comments, I find them relaxing to watch when I get the chance, I took this with a 100mm Macro Canon lens it makes them look bigger than they are , they are about three weeks old and are growing fast. Out of 100 or so born there is only about 30 left now this size which is now to hard for the parents to catch and eat. Now my other pair have had babies and there is about 140 more to raise, soon I will take most of the bigger ones and sell them to a fish store for supplies and maybe a few more sharks for my tank.

A colourful and attractive display Norm. How big do the sharks grow? I've heard that aquariums can be relaxing but aren't they also high maintenance?

Best. Bill

The sharks will grow to about four inches any bigger I would have to give them to a fish shop, as for the care of tanks it can consume some time but if you have a good filtration system its not too bad, I clean the tank once a week with a water vacuum hose takes probably ten minutes, I use an auto feeder so not much else to do, the algae eaters keep the algae down, it just not that bad as some say. thanks for stopping by I appreciate it.

Colorful and fun! Is that some sort of artificial rock or other structure in the upper left? It looks a little out of place in the photo (not necessarily in the context of the whole tank) and maybe distracts just a bit from the fish.

It's hard to photograph fish in an aquarium, but you did a really fine job. Beautiful convicts!

Thanks everyone , the rock at the top left is part of a reef rock, I didn't remove it because then I'd have to fix the shadow also and it adds depth behind it, thanks again for all the comments.

Very cool looking fish, and nice colors!
I think shooting through a fish tank would be very challenging.
Regards!
