This guy has no trouble letting me get close, while he eats. Note the bottom row of teeth that pop out to grab and crush prey.

Great video Steve. Man, I love these guys. How old is he and what do you think his weight is?

My guess is he's between one and two years old. Last time I weighed him was on 10-10-10 at 181 grams. I'll weigh him tomorrow and post weight results. Should be fun to see what his weight gain is over winter.

Just using a Canon power shot SD1100 IS.
Thanks everyone, for the positive commments. Thinking my next video is going to try to capture his super long tail, and how he uses it, much like a monkey.

Hahaha i'v never seen a cham chew something for soo long before. Not even my big boy eating adult hissers. Beautiful parsons.... and stop posting those pic/vids and making me jealous
lol Mr. Wilson, my K. Multi will chew super slow sometimes, or chew really fast. the moment he sees me looking at him, he'll just stop, give me the stink eye and just let the food hang out of his mouth, then when i hide, he starts chewing super slow like steves camel lol

No info for S5is, just put it on macro and shoot. Think how you download/save to computer makes a big difference.
I'll see if I can't get some quad feeding action today. I cleaned most of their tanks yesterday, so there should'nt be too many water spots to get in the way today.
Weight on the male as of today is 304 grams. He's put on close to a gram a day since last weigh in. Average of 32.5g per month. Here's last three records:
9-6-10 160g
10-10-10 181g
2-13-11 304g
