guppies are SO FAST!!!😱

I haven't gone to town to get plain gravel yet. I put some young males in the photo booth to see how they looked and got a few shots that are closer to the actual colors on the fish. Jimmy's video helped because I learned how to turn down the exposure on my iphone and allow the light from above to show the fish.

Thanks for the info. I'll think about it. The scratches might not be a big deal because I'm just having fun with this project.

nabokovfan87, I have some of this privacy film, but it's not 100% blocking. I used it on my bedroom windows for privacy while the drapes are open during the day. I could get away with the paint on this tank, I think. There isn't fish in it so it won't need a filter. I'll be using it as a photo booth only.🎥

Thankyou for your input!!!🙂 The 2.5 I have is a used tank and has some scratches. I wonder if they are "buffable"? I used the female guppies first because they are calmer than the males. I need to try a few different things to get good pics, I think. Watching Jimmy's videos now. I'm using an old iphone because it's the only camera I own. My plan is to; get some plain black substrate, like you suggested.... not used from their tank. use white light only remove plants and rock and go with the minimal look use fresh water that has set out for a day or so I wrapped 3 sides of the tank with a black garbage bag and I was trying to hide wrinkles with the the plants and rock.... we'll see what it looks like, I guess. I can always paint the tank if needed. Anyway, this has been a fun project! nabokovfan87 Thank you for posting this!😃

Yesterday I built a fishy photo booth using a 2.5 aquarium, black substrate, a rock and a few plants. I put some guppy girls in there today to see what I could get in the way of action shots and I could use some suggestions. My thoughts; I used their aquarium water to fill the photo booth and there are too many particles from the substrate that I scooped up.... lots of girls swimming around has stirred the pot. This aquarium is too small for a sponge filter (I think)... do I need to do lots of water changes? The fish won't be in here long, just for a photo shoot. Lighting is not quite right. I'll need to figure it out because these girls look washed out in here. My eyes pick up much more color. Maybe I'll look for that video that Jimmy did.... I used the light setting with all of the colored lights on these pics, except one picture which I used only white light. Too many girls in the tank?

Nice, that is where my Sister lives. I'm North of you. I live in the Columbia River Gorge, Corbett, Oregon.

I think I'll make one like this..... only I'll most likely replace the metal "chain" with fishing line or yarn. You have such great ideas!

What part of the world are you in?

Thank you! I only had 48! Now I can see it.😁

I use a thermometer in my hatchery water so I can keep the temp between 78 and 80 degrees. I can alter the heat source when the weather changes. 🙂

WOW! They are beautiful!!! Good job!!!

I use auto feeders and Xtreme pelleted foods... different foods for different fish. The feeder drops some of the "Nano" and some of the "Slow-Sinking Community". Everyone gets a bite. You'll need to evaluate which foods work best for your fish. Be sure to put your feeder away from the sponge filter, if you use one. The tiny bubbles from the sponge filter can create a food clog.😁
