Orange Balloon Bellies

Just thought I'd share some pics of my 8 day feeeswimming fry. I accidentally overfed them bbs and this is the result. Fortunately they haven't suffered any ill effects. I won't feed again until their bellies are completely empty.

Wow, fantastic images!
Not something I usualy worry about and never had any problems with over feeding fry on brineshrimp.

Very wise!

I have!
I've lost whole batches in a matter of days, especially by feeding when they are still full!

Hmmmm, maybe I should pay more attention and see how much I do feed then

Thanks. When my camera phone works its great for macro fry shots.

Hi endlessendlers,

Are you saying that you took these pictures with your phone camera? I've never managed to get such clear pictures of close-ups like that even with different lenses on my Canon.

I'd like to know your secret.

Yes, my camera phone, and no, no secret. I generally use my mobile for taking photos and participation in these forums..I hardly ever seem to get a turn on the family pc. I use a HTC Desire S phone which has a 5mp camera. Photos of fry taken on macro setting come out better than say a photo of a juvenile. I just can't get the settings right for juveniles and adult fish.
