Three Studies of my Aquarium Fish


 Guppies are fairly easy to take care of they are live bearing and live in fresh water. I have had trouble with them from time to time- they like to have parties when I am not there and trash the place! Years ago I made a painting called 'Where go the Fish?' which I sold to a professor, it showed my aquarium empty in the corner with the fish swimming around the apartment. These three small studies were done of some of the fish I have, the top and bottom show the fancy tailed guppies, the middle is the giant plecko algae eater, which is about 10 inches long. I also have loaches but the hide most of the time. The guppies were moving around a lot which made it hard to paint them accurately, I will have to practice a bit more!
