Playing around with a new macro lens on a salmon female

Very pretty picture, I like how the rest of the photo is a touch out of focus, definitely draws the eye to her face...

When I got him home and setup from Daytona he immediately took a poo and crawled through it, so I figured it was a ground in poo particle! I washed him off and that was the only debris that didn't wash off, I ran my fingernail over it with some pressure and nothing! I figured it would come of with his next shed. Wrong it got darker and with this last shed it got even more noticeable! I took a look under a magnifying glass and it is a black scale! The wife is supposed to be getting me a macro lens for my camera for Christmas! I know it’s just one black scale! It would be crazy if he started to develop them all over! I can only hope!

Thanks for the comments!
