    Default African Cichlid Tank

    Hi everyone,

    I learned something today; underwater cameras are very cool! I dropped my camera into my tank, left the room, came back in five minutes, and had an awesome video of my fish. No worrying about glare off the glass! The colour is a little weird, but that's probably due to my crappy lighting. Also, I may need to find a better spot for the camera, one where you can see more of the tank. Other than that, here it is!

    I'm using an Olympus Stylus Tough, it's an awesome little P&S. I can't wait to take it diving this summer!

    He definitely thinks he's king of the tank. I wound up with him by accident (he was supposed to be an acei too, lol. 0-5 on the ID for me) but I'm wishing I could keep him, he has a LOT of personality.

    what a great idea, you can likely make a mount to hang the camera angled downward from the top front corner of the glass to get a more tank shot like view.

    Sweet idea! I'll have to see what I can rig up this weekend. (hopefully I might have some acei in there by then)
