Friday cat food blogging

Let me know if this works…if you get audio and video. My Sony digital still camera muxes video so that audio and video are separate. I used a trial conversion software to deal with this.

Click on the image for the video.

Anyway, if it works out for you then you get to hear me and H.o.p. say nothing kind of things while I record the fish for a few moments. And you get to see the whale goldfish, Dylan, moving about. When we got him three years ago (about) he was not quite as long as a thumb. We never anticipated he’d get as big as he has. Optimum would be a long rectangular tank, for which we don’t have room. Have this tall hexagonal 40 gallon thing for which we have extra oxygen pumped through it as goldfiish need oxygen, which is why a rectangular tank is good for the bigger ones, more surface area. Usually we have plants for them in there but they eat them up in no time and we haven’t replaced the last batch yet. There is one last plant in there that they don’t like to eat for some reason. The joke on a goldfish site is “What do you call plants in a goldfish tank? An all you can eat salad bar.”

Dylan is the big comet. Dorothy 2 is the fancy gold goldfish and Kerry is the currently albino comet (had touches of gold when we got him). All are male. Dorothy and Kerry are about two years old now.

Anyway, hope you enjoy watching the fish loitering and me saying nothing things and H.o.p. wildly babbling (he briefly slows to explain that this is his function during recording).

    Idyll,

    I love the fish and the video works fine. H.o.p. has a lot of energy. My daughter is asleep now, she had a dance rehearsal tonight. I will tell her to watch it tomorrow. I have finally shared my story.

    Lizzy, thank you for sharing it, and thank you for thinking to let me know and posting a link here. I’ve posted some of my thoughts in your comments. (I do follow “Nightbird’s Fountain” through a feed at Bloglines.) Love the pic of Bea!
