No. 43 “Eight Cover (Halloween Version)”
The unglazed cover for Halloween was taken in August when it was still hot. When I removed the Mini Eight and inserted the underwater LED light compact, the inside of the aquarium became Halloween-like and a cute face appeared. Further images using photography lights...
I found a cute Suihougan with plump cheeks. The store says it's made in Yatomi, but when you look at it from above, it's cute, and the balance is amazing. I'm looking forward to finding Suihougan of different colors and shapes. Text: Atsushi Morioka Photography Association…
I found a female chick. Although it is still young, its color is clear. I haven't seen it in any amazing stores yet, but I'm happy to be able to see it in person. It is perfect to describe it as a persimmon color, which is darker than the cherry blossoms at night. Text: Atsushi Morioka Photography cooperation:…
No. 40 “Night Cherry Blossoms”
The yellow glitter has a very beautiful shine. I'm really fascinated by how flashy it is, which makes it hard to believe it's a medaka fish. Although it is still rare, it is a medaka fish that you would want to get.
The iridescent color on its back is very beautiful, but its characteristic is that it has a strong red color, but I can't really confirm it. When you take pictures with a macro lens, it's fun to see how the color of the light changes depending on the angle under sunlight.
This is a medaka that expresses the characteristics of Houou and Hourin Musou to the fullest. The color of the body is difficult to capture with a camera, but it has a very beautiful iridescent sheen that can be clearly seen with the naked eye. If you look at it from above, you can see a reddish-purple discoloration, which is amazing! I feel numb. Sentence : …
It takes time for the Congo Tetra's fins to grow, but once they grow they become very beautiful. If you take good care of them so that they are not bitten by other fish, they will become fine fish. It's been about 2 years, but I wonder if it's grown a little?
This is a yellow and black platy, also known as the golden panda, honeybee, or bumblebee. The black mask-like pattern only shows the eyes! Even if you look at them from the front, each one has a different expression and has a very unique face. Platy's friends are beautiful...
The Golden Honey Gourami is a popular tropical fish. I think they are suitable for beginners because they eat well, are resistant to environmental changes, and are cute. Its popularity is not limited to beginners. Once the aquatic plants become accustomed to the environment, dead leaves will disappear in the aquarium...
No. 34 “Black Dutch Shishigashira”
The Black Orchid is one of the most popular goldfish bred in Thailand. This individual is a little larger at about 17 cm and has a fluffy head, which is very impressive, and the lion-like appearance from which the breed's name is derived is well expressed. …
