 Taken in my community tank, I have four of these wondeful fish (Puntius Denisonii) their common name is Red Lined Torpedo and they hard really hard to take pictures of as they are fast, really fast, maybe hence the name?. Their bright red flash and yellow tail realy lent themsevles to this challange but I didn't do them justice, if I get a 5 I'll be happy, photographs don't do this fish justice.
btw, for Tropical enthusiasts, this is relatively new to the UK and I was one of the first keepers of this fish, if only I could get them to breed.

Cute. Looks like fish that were the victims of a grafettie artist - because the red strip goes through the eyes. You may have been better off with a less tight crop and leaving the whole fish colored, or, leaving the tank colored and desaturating the fish. Good workmanship separating them from the rest of the background.

Tetras? If so, why did you take out the blue? If not, the desat. in this image doesn't make a lot of sense to me...

Love the way the NATURAL colours stand out against the grey of your Puntius Denisonii.
