Check out my Live Opae Ula Shrimp Cam!

Post by BostonJill »

Check out my small half gallon apothecary jar tank. It's on my nightstand.
I love a little slice of the sea by my bed. Specially when it's 8 degrees this morning and it's MARCH!

12 shrimp and 2 snail

PS. Set this up with an old iPad and a free app I downloaded
so no fancy camera stuff.

Enjoy!

The tank will be live from morning to evening EST on most days.

Hmmm....Maybe refresh your screen? Let me know if that works.
It's not the greatest resolution but I have tested it with all my friends and they can see the shrimp on their computers.
I even brought my ipad to work and I could see them there as well.

When I'm at work I view it on my ipad mini.
It would have to go through WIFI and not the cellular network such as 4G.

I'm glad you can see it on your computer. I'm not sure why it's not working on your ipad.
When I first tried it on my ipad I was at a Starbucks and it didn't work but when I got home it worked on my own wifi.

I tried it last night on my tablet and couldn't connect but I probably tried after you had turned it off. Looked at it just now on my phone and it worked perfectly. Great idea :)

Also a great idea was using urchin shells as hides for the shrimp. I may have to steal that one.
