Good luck to everyone!

Not to be a stickler or anything, but don't the rules explicitly state that the photo must be of a fish in your own tank? Wouldn't this preclude dive photos?

 

[JoJosReef]

This month is silly difficult. Good job everyone!

Indeed a tough subject this month yet we did receive a good number of quality submissions.
good luck all!
Feb POTM is a much easier topic so make sure to check it out and participate

 

[Gman83]

Voted, good luck everyone! They are all great!

 

[tbrown]

Voted!

 

[i cant think]

Voted! Have to say, these are some stunning photos.

The moment this came up as a subject it was clear it’d be a difficult one to choose in the votes. Especially with the patience needed to photograph these guys… I hate trying to get photos of my wrasse gang just due to the patience they require

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Amazing photos! Voting is gonna be tough!

 

[maroun.c]

Amazing photos! Voting is gonna be tough!

[Gumbies R Us]

[D.WhiteShark]

AH, some of my favorite fish!
Im so torn between the best looking and one that is close to my heart. Dang!
