Ahhh! A fogger, besides giving really cool effects helps fool the crickets so that they can't see the frogs coming after them! Like dogs frogs don't have keen eye sight. Actually they cannot see the prey in front of themselves. However their olfactory glands are about 300 times more sensitive than humans. This is how they catch their prey. With the fog helping to obscure their view, more crickets get eaten than get away.

Of course in a vivarium little if anything (or anyone) goes to waste, the carnivorous fish like Bala Sharks and Cichlids are quick to snatch up all those which wind up in the water, but they already get more than their share with the dead crickets that don't make it into the tanks alive.

I raise and feed about 1000 crickets into this tank every month. The ones that die and are cleaned out of the hopper once a month go off to be freeze dried, then ground into special blends of fish foods I make up.

BTW: I thought the max ISO was 2,400. Sorry if my statements sound boisterous or misleading, the manual for the damned thing is smaller than my palm and I have difficulties with my eyes.

I suppose for the rest of this I'll ask Retrocity to move the thread over to the Photo Forum where it belongs or just start another thread there. Thanx for all your help.
