Nice!

I picked up m first one last night. They really add some quick colour to the display.

Here's mine.

Another Item I picked up. I'm still in need of a macro lens. I'm using extension tubes and a 50mm lens. The tubes have no electrical connections. So I set my aperture, pull the lens out and then have to manually focus (by moving the camera). The focusing is my problem, nearly impossible when trying to catch swimming fish.

My camera is an EL-Cheap-o A530

Well yours has a macro function which is nice, it will get you in a little closer than a DSLR without a good macro.

(it does have a macro function... right?)

 

[BLKTANG]

Small children mostly.




Oh, um, I mean... They will eat pretty much everything that is small enough for them out of the water column. Plankton, bacteria, detritus and left over food bits.

Hahaha good one Rosseau.
Do the eat the same things as feather dusters?

 

[Rosseau]

Yeah I think it's very similar if not exactly the same.

They do have a mouth, and tiny cilia on their duster cells works food down towards their mouth. I'm not sure if the feather dusters are the same.

They have a very hard outer tube unlinke most feather dusters. That threw me off a bit at first.
