Pictures, Video and a question

Can fish see in the Infra red spectrum? My camera has a "nightshot" and "night framing" modes. On the attached video is a bit of footage with just the nightshot mode, they fish don't seem to notice it but if someone knows for sure that would be great!

Nice pictures but you really need to decrease your file sizes. Even at the speed of my connection (I pay more than I would like to for it but its my husbands thing) the pictures loaded much slower than I would have liked to view them, and I'm still waiting for the video to download.

I love my cable internet!

nice tank! (and my daughter wants your couch

) Your yoyo is nice and fat. Can't tell if it's a she or he yet, but given time...

Don't know if they can see infrared, however, when I attempt to take pics of my fish in a dark tank as soon as the red light goes on, they scatter.

What size is your tank? Looks like you have ALOT of fish in there! But then, I am a chronic understocker...

Very nice tank indeed.

Tiger Barbs+Harlequin Rasboras?
I wonder how this combination is going to work...Somehow it does not feel very safe...

It's a 450l/120g, there are a few fish in there but the tank is well overfiltered (fx5 @ 4500lph, internal @ 1000lph & built in @ 1000lph) and still got a bit of margin between what I've got and what the recomended stocking levels are

Agreed with the girlfriend that I'm allowed to get the 3000l tank once we've found a place to buy.

Not had any problems with the barbs & harlequins except when the tank was very new, but I'm not sure if that was the barbs that killed a few or if it was bad harliquins or something in the water.
