Lisa,
Your flavilabris are acting like my thayeri. My
flavilabris spawned in ph 6.8 water, what was your pH? I would guess that
this species is not too picky about pH or hardness. Good luck with the
photography.
I've had my thayeri for almost 1.5 years and I still have not
had a decent photo (or spawn) of them. They hide as soon as I walk
in the fish room - can't take pics of them that way. So I have now rigged
up an elaborate scaffolding-n-screen system with 2X4s and black paper so that
they cant see me but I can see them with my camera. The tough part was/is
positioning the corded flash and the other 3 slave strobes so they all work
well together. I've been rigging this together for 3 weeks now.
After all is said and done, I think I'll be more impressed with the scaffolding
system than the pictures!
Vinny
