Well, I am sad to say that while I was away for the day 19th of August, my heater in my fish tank malfunctioned for some reason. The heater decided to not compensate for high temperature by turning off and instead locked itself on for the duration of the day. As a result, all my fishies died. I have decided to put the tank away for the time being and may bring it back later. I don't know at this point. Thanks to those who watched and we will all miss them, especially Fred.
OK, So I really wanted to install Ubuntu on my desktop and I need to have the Camera Offline for a bit. I know... AHHHHH!!!! The world is ending, right? What will I do without Fred? I need some time to figure out if the camera can be used in Ubuntu or if I need to get it running on another machine. I need to go through some things to see what will work... If not, there is another PC running our phone system 4 feet away and I will get it running on that ( I think )... That's all for now...
As you may have noticed, the fishy cam looks a little bit different. That is because I took out the infrared filter. In doing this, the glare on the glass in nearly eliminated. The tank looks brighter too. Any comments or questions are welcome.
OK, so I know that the fishy cam is not up and that is because I was upgrading some hardware on my computer. Well the motherboard had to be sent back and I should be getting a new one soon. I did acquire and new computer from Dave but i need to rig up a fan for the CPU. Thinking of making that the dedicated Fishy Cam Server. That would be nice... I would think that the Fishy Cam should be up by this time next week.
Hey!!! My water in the tank is fine says the local fish store and I probably just need some heartier fish... So, my sister picked some up for me... 9 to be exact!!! I now have 12 fishies in the tank and they are as follows:
1 Albino Cory Catfish (aka: Fred)
The Blue Tetras are not blue right now. My sister said they were in the tank before they started to get them so maybe they will get there color back after they calm down and get used to the new tank... The pictures I saw on the internet shows them to be very nice looking...
So, the las of the Glo-Fish died in my tank... Not sure if it has anything to do with them being genetically altered or if it was my tank or just natural... Everything else seems fine... I was told that I should have a few Snails and at least two of the Albino Cory Catfish in there... That might make everything stay cleaner longer... Who know... Monday should be fish shopping day... :)
