SQUIDCAM

[corw314]

So I'm curious....Tide being right for me when I collect is dead low, during slack! I also collect tons of grass shrimp at that time. Any pics of your "secret" spot, or would that mean it wouldn't be a secret anymore??? Shame I missed it!!! Please post again when you have another opportunity where we can watch!!!

I would love to keep a squid, too bad I can't

I just noticed, squiddy is 4 months old today. Yesterday I thought he was sick (I was a little nervous), but in fact I don't think he is. He's certainly hovering around the bottom of the tank more than he used to, so for long periods of time he might be out of camera frame. I also got told off today, 2 months after doing it, for moving the camera around Christmas time; I guess someone has just returned to work after a nice 'wee' vacation.

Where did you move it? Like before and after since I don't really get this. Too bad I can't see the squid.

 

[Steve O'Shea]

Will definitely have to move the camera, hopefully today; I haven't seen it online for a couple of days, but he's alive and well down the bottom, munching on shrimp.

A little later today, 11am, I'll drop a ton of shrimp in there - should be a feeding frenzy, and we'll probably see Mr Squid move higher in the water column.

A couple of things could be responsible for the descent in the water column; natural ontogenetic drop, extra light (very sunny days of late, and this is next to a window), or shrimp around the bottom of the tank (and this fella is hunting them down). We'll see soon.

We'll se Master O, we'll see....

 

[corw314]

Here we go....Is that 11Am your time or our time? We figured out last time there's 6 hours time difference so it's 7:18PM EST now..... So...is it 1PM there so I missed it yet again????

Sudden change of plans; last-minute call-out to sea, so had to dump a ton of sprats in instead, at an earlier time. REAL sorry!!!!!! Will try and do the shrimp in 2 days; am at sea again tomorrow.
