AQUASAUR · 04-21-2008, 07:14 PM

Hey, Everybody, I’m curious…are here any fans of those Beautiful Fishes – The Killies!?
Will be glad to see you sharing every photo of that genre in this topic…
So, begining with some of my lovely Killie specimen... Aplocheilus Lineatus Gold

and here are a few more expressive Macro shots of his BIG Mouth and Beautyful eyes:

So, what do you think...is it Those Guy a Great Killie PREDATOR...?

Beautiful fish! Great looking photos!

AQUASAUR · 04-22-2008, 06:16 PM

Actually, those Killifish is around 10cm., but macro lens make it HUGE…

Here is just a snapshot above a tank, just to compare Aplocheilus size to a Rainbow fish:

And another two snapshots from our last Killi show’2007(here in Bulgaria),
where I had buy those rear variety of Aplocheilus specimen:

Actually these are some of the best pics. I have ever seen.

susankat · 07-02-2008, 03:51 AM

I need to go raid your house and build my killie population up again. I sure do miss mine.

LauraLeeLLBP · 07-03-2008, 10:56 PM

Nice to see you sharing your work over here, too, Hristo.

As always- your pictures (and fish!) are absolutely amazing.

StanChung · 07-08-2008, 03:20 AM

Wow Hristo, you have to let others have a chance.... You are way up there my friend unless Norbert decides he want to have a go at killies! LOL.

I will concentrate on bigger easier subjects... even plants. LOL.

AQUASAUR · 07-10-2008, 03:24 AM

Thank you, everyone!

So, those Nothos specimen was really one of my favorites lately :

And here is a Killi “Love story” about:

Hey, men…you know – if there is a Pretty Woman…

or even not exactly “Pretty” one…

…there are always two rival Lovers, get ready to conquer her love…

…The Proud Winner…

…”Dancing cheek to cheek”…and “Love me tender” in Killi’s version…

…So, you know pretty well how that story goes on…
