Hi,
Your tank is very beautiful! I want to know what's the name of the little yellow fish you have in your tank? Is it easy to care for? what kind of stuff it eats, etc...

thanks!

very nice :wink:
can you post some pic of the aquarium ?

Thanks,

dzhuo, the fish is a clown gobie. It's easy to care for and eats just about anything I put in the tank.

bar, you could see pics at community.webshots.com/user/ltbt8

Dont be surprised at finding Clown Goby's that are green with red stripes as this is a more usual colour morph, the yellows are quite rare i think.

I just got the same camera to use as a little point-n-shooter. From the reviews I read I expected the macro function to be weak. Looking at some of your pics, I guess the reviews weren't entirely accurate, eh? :lol:

Nice pics BTW!

Hi Wolfman, you really need a tripod. I also found that using both optical and digital zoom, got me a lot closer. All my macro pics were using digital at full use. I also found, I had to use manual mode in order to get the right lighting-ISO 200. There also is a telephoto lens attachment for this camera at http://www.bugeyedigital.com. I'm thinking of getting it and tring it out. 8)

Yeah, I planned on eventually getting a tripod, but I had no idea they had attachment lenses for this camera now. That was actually one of the other strikes against it in the reviews!! Thanks for the information!

You can add-on lenses but need to get an adapter first (~$50). BugEye has them as well.

hey what an awsome tank............i was wondering where you got the purple tip hammer?

 

[ltbt8]

Thanks, I got it at the LFS for $40. It had eight heads, my orange ric took care of one head; another head divided and about four heads have at least one to two little heads underneath.(still have eight big heads and numerous little heads)

I recommend people never use digital zoom unless it's absolutely necessary. With digital zoom, you literally throw away resolution (proportaional to degree of zoom) for the sake of getting closer. It's just how the sensors work. With optical zoom, all the resolution is intact.
