Quite often I first notice something about my fish after I have taken photos of them. The 'finer detail' of their features, if you will...
Recently I first saw Ich on a fish (and treated it) due to seeing it on a photo. It allowed me to catch it early, at that point it was very hard to see with the naked eye.
Here's the thread on that Ich attack, which shows progression from infected to clear in photos...

But I've taken a few photos recently of my Syn Catfish that really amaze me. He is rarely still (or out in the open) so it's massively difficult to get any photo, but today (after a water change) he was out for about an hour swimming into the output from the filter then doing an occasional run back to his hidey hole.
Here's two from today that I think are awesome. Today is the first time that I have seen the yellow spikes on the underside of it's fins, how cool is that!? Never knew about them!

Another photo from today, I really enjoy the nose of the Syn cat, I wonder if he can pick up FM radio?

Another first sight today from a photo is that my Silver Dollars finally got their fin coloration on the tail fin! They've had orange bodies for a long time, but this red has come in on the biggest two just recently. Loving it!

I also got a nice photo (or ten) of my Oscar fish today.

Nothing new here, but it's nice to see a set of doting parents in the Cichlid tank...

Nothing new here, but here's an Angel photo, too.

Anyway, I honestly think the Syn cat is just so awesome because of it's looks... And the interesting thing is that I think I have had him now for 8 months or more, and have NEVER seen him actually eat anything. I've put food in there, sure, I know he MUST be eating something, but I have no idea what... What an awesome fish, lol.
