Congrats to both of you.

Super photos Dennis.

When I spawned lots of Cory catfish I would add water that was ten degrees cooler. They did back flips.

Nice close-ups Dennis.
What kind of camera/lens are you using?

Thanks Bill.  Just the standard lens on my Cannon S3 IS.  It has a "Super" macro setting for getting super close-up shots.  I have a 200mm macro lens that I sometimes use too.  I'll give it a try tomorrow and see what it produces.

As my eye sight goes, I find it harder and harder to focus the camera for super clear shots.  Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative.

Well here's today's photos shot with the macro lens.....





I don't notice much of a change in the last 24 hours.   :(

Same fry in the video version.....
