Not policing (I can't disqualify) I just wanted to make sure you were aware if you do want to enter
Its one of those things where the picture is cool but its really cool if you can see the perspective of how tiny they are so thats what I was trying to do was show perspective if that makes sense. Like I said if the disqualifies it that's fine too. :)

Ok so I’ve never submitted a photo of a fish before…..so be gentle
This photo was taken when I first started a tank up. September 16th 2020. Rescued my mandarin from a Petco. She was tiny, MAYBE an inch. She’s still with me today!

Yes totally fine posting a picture for perspective for the sake of the discussion.
We normally just use the first photo posted, if u prefer to have us consider the 2nd just let me know.
Easy ;)

Until you put a small male in with the female. The females are VICIOUS! Who thought those tiny mouths can do so much damage.

I love her so much though! They are awesome fish. Need to find a larger male to go in thebtank

I tried mixing a green and target and that did not work out. They had plenty of space 300 gallon tank. Target was always chasing the green. Rubys look a bit different so maybe. Id be prepared to remove it though.

It’s hard for me to “want” to take a bad picture. Most of the time my bad picture is the result of trying to take a good one. With that said, I think we got it covered with this “top down”

u forgot to make the whole thing white
thats over exposure for u XD
This was shot under 100% UVA, so you get some corals glow like crazy, while its surroundings stay fairly dark, that’s why you don’t really get the regular “look and feel” of over exposure you are used to see.

But I also think that’s the whole “art” part of this shot, and the only reason I actually saved this one out of the many others I took, it makes it unique, even though it isn’t perfect.
