While feeding my discus live brine shrimp today, l thought l would take a small video clip with a twist.:idea2:
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!:crazy:

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:)

Nice 1 Joe,
I have always wanted to know what they could see from the inside of the tank, now i know. The discus are looking nice and heathly in the video and what a smart way to feed them shrimp.

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:kiss:...I'm a nice looking nut:laugh::laugh::laugh:
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.:D:D:D
