Fish Tank (Version 1)
Camera used: Fujifilm FinePix 3800






Descriptions
Pic 1: Front View
Pic 2: View of the left side of the tank
Pic 3: View of the right side of the tank. Has a diver hanging on to a chain attempting to pull up the treasure chest. I've modified the air ducts to not only blow bubbles out of the chest, but also out of the ship wreck.
Pic 4: The 2 White Clouds. They move sooo fast and relentlessly that I was lucky to have been able to have just 1 okay picture of them!
Pic 5: Spunky, the common goldfish.
Pic 6: Spunky and 2 Ghost Shrimps.
Pic 7: Close-up of one of the 6 Ghost Shrimps. They are so transparent, that you can actually watch food travel through them!
Pic 8: Ghost Shrimps. Notice how Spunky just won't stop eating!

Camera used: Canon EOS Digital Rebel



Male Betta Fish: 1

Neon Tetras: 2

'Spunky' (Pooping): 3

'Torpedo' NEW Fish: 4
This new common goldfish unfortunately died within 3 days when the water became dangerously toxic. It was named 'Torpedo' for the boyish energy it gave off.

'Tomato' NEW Fish: 5 7
Named for its redness.

Fancy Guppies (Females): 6

Group shots: 8 10 13

Attack of the Killer Ghost Shrimp: 9

'Shaky' (Fancy Goldtail) NEW Fish: 11
Adopted and named by a Korean friend for the way it swims. This goldfish is EXTREMELY cute in-person and in both of these pictures. In fact, I returned 'Tomato' after getting 'Shaky.' (Having too many goldfishes in a tank is bad for the water.)

'Bully': 14
Bully has gotten very comfortable with me. I can hold and touch it without it getting scared.

Gravel Bubbles: 15
This happens when the gravel is dry and is dropped into the water.

Night Shots of the Tank: 16 17 18
I may someday add a permanent, blue LED light to give it the effect Pictures 16 and 17 showcase.

Common Goldfishes: 19 20
Just as she adopted 'Shaky', I bought these two for my Korean friend for me to "adopt". I'll be getting her a "real" fish to keep once she gets the hang of raising them in an aquarium tote (I have to research how to do that myself too sometime.)

Pregnant Ghost Shrimp: 1 3 4

I just bought 8 Ghost Shrimps from Wal-Mart and found that one of them is pregnant (you can see the babies move in her stomach.) Pretty neat if you have never seen one before.

Don't worry, it's still alive. I only kept it out of the water for a few seconds to take the first two pictures.
