WOW - Adam, did you get any quality picture doing that?

It wasn't any better than on the conventional CRT, however they were 10 times bigger.

Fantastic.

Mind you I had to get my PC back upstairs before the Mrs got home, she does her nut when they spill out of my room.

I've always got PCs for repair/upgrade at home and they do tend to litter the house especially when there's a lot of work on. Mind you I haven't been taking much on recently due to the zebras.

Godzilla-zebras! Now there's an image to play with - "The return of.." - "The invation of.."

I would have liked to see that

Axis ActiveX Camera Control
The AXIS ActiveX Camera Control, which enables you to view live image streams in Microsoft Internet Explorer, could not be registered on your computer.

I had the same problem and Mc eve sorted it out for me by sending me to this link

I found that by altering teh Active X settings on under the internet security section it worked straight away, set most settings to enable or prompt. Adam might be the chap to talk to as he is the computer expert, but the above site helped me out

Just a word of cation when it comes to configuring how ActiveX is handled by your browser. Don't set download unsigned ActiveX controls to Enable, you could pick up some nasties/unwanted controls if you do. Prompt is better, that way you know what you download and get the opportunity to say no thanks

Thanks guys
That sorted the problem and yes they do look great
How much water movement do you have as there didnt seem to be much motion in the water (or may be i have to much?)how many and how big are your powerheads ? or what do you use for water movement?

McEve · Post by **McEve** » Mon Oct 11, 2004 3:14 pm

It's a 120 liter tank, with a powerhead that does 600l/min, and an Eheim 2224.

Seem to be enough water movement for mine, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind more.

I'm not sure more is better and a definate must for breeding though, as I've heard several reports of Zebra's breeding in tanks housing Discus.

McEve is spot on as usual as she says don't set download unsigned ActiveX controls to Enable or you could end up getting your browser hijacked.

Looks like there's a live show going on on the web cam now. Fish [not suitable for children]!

On a side note, this might be a bit too frequent for the fish. How do I prevent them from wearing themselves out, short of removing the male?

Does your male have a female in the cave with him?? All I can see right now is his tail.

McEve · Post by **McEve** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 10:10 am

Yes he does. I'm getting back to my plans about installing an infrared endoscope so that I can see what's going on in the cave.

You'll see the males tail in short periods, then he will disappear into the cave for an even shorter period. That's when he's doing his part of the job. then he backs up a bit to allow the female room to do her part, and so on.

Class, I knew it! He's usually there or there abouts but never in the cave for such a long time. Should I feel like a little pervert peaking on the luvin

On a side note. Have you noticed how quiet the other Zebras have become since the lovin began?

I know the feeling!

I got over it though

I have! It's like that every time, it's almost like the whole tank is holding the breath in anticipation of what's going on
