LIVE fish cam with my puffer George

Post by melbell86 »

Hey all! So for christmas my boyfriend got me this really cool live webcam that he set up on a tripod. I will have a live fishcam that i can access at any time! This is perfect for when i go to my parents house in another city for the weekends and i worry about my fishies, so i can just log in and see what they are up to! I am making it available to all of you guys. You can move the camera around and look around my tank anywhere you like. Only 5 people can be on at a time so i am limiting the viewing time at 5 minute intervals in case more than 5 get on at a time. You can log back in if it kicks you off. This is the first time we are testing it so let me know what you think.


INFO TO FISHCAM

Enjoy!!!

yeah his favorite place is the right hand corner during the day. His sleeping spot is in that corner next to the shell that is down there. He is getting better to my surprise. He has started eating from my hand, so everyday i feed him, its from my hand and he is starting to get a lot friendlier <3 I added a small damsel a few weeks ago as you can see and things have been going great. Also got a HUGE turbo snail, named Yoshi and he has been doing a great job eating all the diatoms off my rocks!

I see him, right there in the right-hand corner! Aw!

Great boyfriend, by the way! I love people who can pick good presents.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
