[fishy fishy]

how do i load pics on this site..lol

[Mr Wild]

In the gallery then enclose a link in your message I think.

[simmo2302]

click the post reply button (not the quick reply field), on the screen that will then load, scroll down to where it says attachments, browse for your file then click attach.

[Hollowman]

Just because they are sold as a pair, does not always mean that they are. It has happened before....

Post up the pics and we'll take a few educated guesses :wink:

[fishy fishy]

its saying the pics are too big sorry ppl if u want pics to help me out i can email them to u all...

I use Irfanview. Freeware & really good!
http://www.irfanview.com/

It has a easy resize feature which can quickly reduce a saved image to 640x480 as well as many other options.

Save the resized image to a different folder & upload as before. :walk


Good Luck,

A couple of nice fish, but too small to see if they are male or female. :)

Try to post up full side shots of both fish if you can.

Also a top tip, when you take a photo with the flash, dont go straight on (90degrees) to the glass, that way you will not het the flash in the middle of your photos.

Tried cropping, then enlarging the pics, makes them a little blurry but thought it worth the try.
