    Default Looking from the inside out

    While feeding my discus live brine shrimp today, l thought l would take a small video clip with a twist.
    Yep, l decided to put my camera in the tank. It is a water proof camera up to 10 metres, and the discus where not phased by it for a minute.
    I am using a short peice of air line to suck small amounts of brine shrimp from the glass into the tank.
    This is the view my discus have. Huh!

    Excellent, now I know, how they can see me visit the freezer!
    (Where their food is!).

    Clinically clean tank and a nice smile when they accept your offerings, great.

    Thanks, appreciated that, cheers, mick B

    That was great Joe...neat idea... what I really liked was when the discus got between you and the camera...its a very different perspective....

    WTG!

    Nice one, Joe!
    The only thing is, that the fish might be wondering why that bloke keeps blowing into a tube while they are eating. And only then.

    Anyway, I was thinking about a DIY version of it, building a small glass cube around my webcam. I never really believed, that it would work, so, as a consequence, I haven't even built it (yet).
    Nice fish and nice artemia!

    Neat idea Joe! That is certainly putting us in the middle of the action! Your fish are really looking great, any idea how much they've grown since you got them? Nice job.

    Thank you all for all your kind and encourageing comments. Especially you Marie...I'm a nice looking nut
    I too have always wondered what it would look like from the inside out, and happen to have the right equipment to have l go. I simply turned the camera on and started filming, and placed it on top of one of the sponge filters. The fish really did'n mind it being there at all.
    Karren like yourself and the other challengers, l have noticed my fish growing, but since we see them all the time we really don't notice so much. A bit like raising our own kids. When l compare them with photos from the begining, I think that they have grown heaps!. Hopefully on their one month anniversary. I will put a measuring tape on a couple of them. I think one is around the 3 inch mark now.
    Thanks again to all for your comments.
    We're here for a good time...not a long time
