Re: Willie's plywood adventure

Nice picture Will, Keep them comming. When you take pics of your tank , don't use your flash you'll get better results.I got that from my buddy at BestBuy, he works in the cam section.

thanks Basile,I figured that out,every time I go to take a pic I have to turn the flash off,sometimes I forget and after the flash,the fish don't want me to snap another pic,so I just post what I get

my digital camera is a inexpensive one,it takes great pictures of everything but my tank,I'm sure if I knew how to work all the settings,I could get better pics,but I still can't get it to focus on something up close,even with the macro setting...

I have 2 35mm SLR (Single Lens Reflex)camera's with extra lens and several filters....I can take studio quality pics with them,but I can't digitize 'em for the 'puter,without a lot of expense,and it takes a few days to get the pics developed

1 of these days,I'll have a digital SLR....money seems to be an issue right now though

Willie,

Perhaps Varga is referring to something similar to this:




I don't want to consume ur thread with these pics, but I have like a series of 8 pics of my shrooms doing this...they were munching on some sinking pellet food! You can click HERE if you want to see the rest of the pics though. My shrooms do this every time I sprinkle them with those pellets. I'm not sure what you use to target feed, but just drop some of the pellets on there and see if they don't turn into little pumpkins!!

I just squirted some phytoplankton on 'em,I'd never associated the fish food with them doing that,but have noticed 'em do that a few times after feeding the fish.....glad to know now that they like the pellet food
