Spying on your tank with a binocular. LOL

[Hank The Tank]

I hope this community find this post humorous. I recently purchased a bi-color benny. I noticed my xenia had been nipped at, so I suspect the benny is the culprit, but I don't want to convict without evidence. The trouble is that it's behavior is different if I'm around the tank. In addition, my cleaner shrimp is also harassing some corals, but when I walk up, it jumps to meet me. I decided to use a binocular to observe from afar and catch them in the act. LOL. Just curious if anyone ever tried this or does this sound stupid?

No I haven’t done this but did you catch them in the act?

I might try it if you catch who did it!

Guilty, I even set up a bore scope camera inside a big piece of decor to see who was hanging out in there and what they were doing. Kids!!! You just can't trust them, especially the teenagers!

Ha. I'm using a 10x25 Nikon from across the room and works great. It feels like I'm in the tank with them.

The benny do spend more time outside of his/her cave when I'm watching with the binocular. It just hides when I walk up. But still not successful in catching it in the act.

I have a pair of binoculars that were made to ID butterflies. I think they are Pentax brand. Anyways, focal distance is about 2 feet. I have used these for over 8 years looking at all sorts of things in my tank.

I’ve never used binoculars But I did use my 70-300 zoom lens on the dslr before. I was sitting across the room and watching and snapping a few pics.

You sir, might be a predator.... spying on the fish without permission. I mean, that’s just wrong in so many ways.

Good thing I’m adding a camera to my tank

Same here! I’m still trying to get someone to print me a filter lense for it though!

I sometimes use nightvision equipment to check on my fish at night.
