Haha, sorry, I mean paint on a canvas, not paint the actual fish, of course.
I'm not a good painter, it's just a hobby, but I just wondered if anyone else painted their tanks/fish/plants. This is my best attempt, oil on canvas, and not quite finished. Takes forever to dry in the humidity in Queensland... the guppy isn't finished yet.

I'm not a very good photographer either! It looks better in real life. I don't do real life imitation, this isn't even how my tank looks, just an impression. This fish has just died, so its become a bit of a memorial now...

That's good  the layering and shadowing is good, and the layout and color scheme is gorgeous!

That is really cool! I've been meaning to take up painting again but I didn't have any ideas.... now I do!

I have painted a Betta(not one of my own), I have also done black and white pencil drawings of two Angel fish that I had a while back, and an incomplete full color pencil drawing of a hybrid African cichlid that I currently own.
Water color with some Prismacolor.

Thanks Danikins! The Angels are my favorite too.
