Start off your week with a picture of a Scuba Dog! Anyone know if this is real or not?

So my sand eating blenny has been doing really well. His stomach is all big and round from the amount of algae I have in my tank (that’s what i get for not doing water changes often). it’s quite amusing how he tries to balance himself but b/c his stomach his so round, he can’t stay still and rocks and forth.

so the other day I was looking for him and found him trying to hide…

So I’ve always wanted a digital SLR camera and this weekend I finally pulled the trigger and went for it. The only thing holding me back was the size of it and I didn’t really want to look like a tourist. haha. But the images it takes is just on a different level and it makes snapping pictures of my fish tank that much more fun now. Then I figured the times I’d probably use this is when I’m a tourist so I should fit right in. haha.

So far I’m a complete NOOB when it comes to this stuff so I’ve been reading and learning and just snapping pictures left and right. The best feature I’ve found out so far to snap fishes is the sports mode. so what’s this hear about lens and flashes and how they’re going to cost more than the camera itself?

oh yea…I did find a carrying bag that doesn’t make you really look like a tourist, they actually look like messenger bags if you’re interested. They’re called Crumpler bags.

I got a new camera finally and first thing to do? take some pictures! i’ll talk more about my camera in another post but wanted to share these first!

my friend James sent me this video and it’s a definitely must watch for everyone. Click the video below to watch it and it’s not in that grainy YouTube type but actually high quality. Make sure you have a few minutes to spare because once you start, you’ll want to watch it to the end.

So with the picture of the giant squid in my earlier post, here’s an article about a giant squid that has the world’s largest eyes. They found the carcass of a rare colossal squid that had eyes that measured about 11 inches across (bigger than a dinner plate) - and making it the largest animal eye on EARTH!

“This is the only intact eye (of a colossal squid) that’s ever been found. It’s spectacular,” said Auckland University of Technology squid specialist Kat Bolstad, one of a team of international scientists brought in to examine the creature.
