This month is going to be a tough job for Final Voting Selection.

I expect Zero Chances with the Beautiful & Colorful Fish Folks have.

This is my SunBurst FatHead Anthias.....the only fish that holds still long enough to get a Semi-Decent photo.

My beloved male Genicanthus semifasciatus while transitioning. Took me a 4 years to acquire, but unfortunately was lost 6 months later in a tank move. Composition based on targeting an opening in the aquascape to capture the fish against the black background of the aquarium.

Lucky shot with a Galaxy Note8 after putting away the DSLR.

This was one of my first fish I ever bought...unfortunately. I wasn't warned of the care requirements nor the difficulty, so it perished in an all too common way. By far the prettiest fish I've ever had.

Here is my entry, it is of a very dear fish to my heart, a male P. ventralis. It took me a while and a lot of care to get this fish. I got a group of females out of which this one transitioned into male after a while in the tank. Now he clearly dominates all the other females making sure none turn male too!

This is Al Roker. He bites me fairly often and puts four little pinholes in my hand.

My entry for this Month, Achiles Tang.
Always wanted one, but we rarely get them here, add to that I struggled with each one I got over the last 10 years till i got one that finally made it.
