I found some eggs (I think) on the glass in the 55g and am battling with my camera. It won't focus!!! I tried holding a black paper and a white paper behind it and it still comes out blurry. Not sure how I would rescue those eggs either. They're yellowish and about 1mm in diameter. There's two of them stuck together...

| I have a Nikon Coolpix 4800 and there's two ways to do it that I know of...
Either you use the main camera function and change it to the close-up feature and then zoom in until the little flower icon turns green instead of white or red.
Or you go to the scene function and select the close-up function from there. It zooms in automatically and it also has a little square in the middle of the screen that it focuses on.
My camera is weird. I have to alternate between the two methods cuz sometimes my camera will stop focusing...? Idk, but as long as I do that, I get some pretty good close-ups most of the time.

| That first pic looks like the fry still has some yolk sac left, so it won't really need any food until the yolk sac is gone. You could try cucumber too, but only a tiny bit that way you don't foul the water if they don't eat it.

| Hmm, cucumber, not a bad idea.
They just survived their first big water change. I've been doing 50% wcs every day and today I got mad at the food stuck to the bottom. So I removed the otos and cleaned the whole thing out. Now they are happy with their clean water.
I've been refilling with tank water so they don't get killed by the super clean drinking water.
I might do the cucumber thing tonight.

| I found a third after the lights turned off tonight. Unfortunately, he decided to resist the current of the siphon and instead ended up as danio chow.  At least I have two...

| Well, I got two more last night so now I'm up to 4!!!  And they're all still alive this morning. I gave them a teeny tiny piece of cucumber last night but of course I can't tell if they've eaten any yet...we will see...
