Space1 Alternate Species Augmentation

ALTERNATE SPECIES AUGMENTATION
SPACE1 has the world's only space alternate species augmentation program

SPACE1 has already modified a number of species with augments for space travel.

For example, previous blogs describe cyborg fish modified for limited English language speech, plants equipped with new sensors to communicate their stats and feelings, insects interfaced to physical parts of the rocket, humans equipped with genetic space flight mods, and AI designed for space travel with spectacular benefits.

Some species are ideally suited for very advanced sci-fi ream type of modifications. Take for example machine AI brains and the given ability to transport from one space station location to another space station, limited only by space time bandwidth. Another augmentation is the compact encryption of DNA structures that are activated at specific space destinations.

Space1 Breeding New Space Species

Space Guppy species female with blazing color

Spacefaring Aquatic Species
New Aquatic Species
Humanoido at SPACE1 is now breeding the second generation of new Aquatics species for space flight.

The species is a new kind of space Guppy, half way in between the very hardy orange breed that has no patience, and the very large fancy Veil Tail Guppy, which is less hardy.

The midway breed has the best features of both breeds. Usually the female has little or no color, however these are spectacular, rivaling the males. Approximately twenty-plus young fish are being raised at this time. These will be trained in the Astronaut Training Program at the SPACE1 Aquatics Center for Space Species, and culled when they reach maturity.

Space1 New Space Aquatic Species

In the larger tank, three selected Guppies are enrolled in Space1's Astronaut Training Program.
As hopefuls, these trained fish may partake in rocket rides into space and become rocket crew
members. Since the advent of talking inventions by Humanoido that allow the aquatics to speak
limited English, the viability of such space flights are very plausible. This aquarium, lit with nine
white LEDs, holds three plant varieties and a larger version of the Easter Island faces statue.

Aquatic Space Program
New Space Aquatic Species
Space1 welcomes new aquatic species into its private industry space program destined for trips into space.

These species are destined for rides on rockets as tourists and as members of SPACE1's space program.

New species include two snail varieties, black Ramshorn, Red Ramshorn, and fish - yellow black fancy Veil Tail Guppies, standard variety Chinese Algae Eater, and Indonesian Dwarf Puffer. The Puffer fish completed the astronaut training program with high marks over the Winter. Over 20 guppies are now enrolled in the program with water-space simulations training going exceptionally well.

Snails undertaking the space school classes number around 50. Species are periodically rotated between development aquatic tanks along with five varieties of aquatic plants. The species are raised on diets of frozen blood worms for the flesh eating Dwarf Puffers and adult snails, standard size flash frozen shrimp for the adult Guppies, brine for the baby Guppies, and special treats of leafy vegetables for all snails.

Space1 Aquatics Space Program New Species

Snail Incubator: five adult snails (circled), two clutches of 25 babies (arrowed)

Aquatics Space Program
The Aquatics Space Program ASP has taken on a new species for space flight. The Red Ramshorn Snails are now part of the program.

Since Humanoido has developed inventions to allow English speech from snails, they can potentially work with mission control, engage rocket controls, report flight dynamics, converse in space jargon, and make decisions during space flight.

Currently the ASP has Dwarf Puffer Fish in its program and is planning to add two more aquatic species by the end of the month. Stay tuned for the exciting updates. All species are required to undergo the Astronaut Training Program. The snails are currently in training.

Space1 Aquatics Space Program Update

Cultured by Humanoido for the Aquatic Space Program, Fish Tank 2 contains Dwarf Puffers

Aquatics Space Program Update
Space1 has expanded the Aquatics Space Program to three tanks with five species being studied for potential space flight. This includes Dwarf Puffer fish, Chinese Algae Eater, Fancy Veil Tailed Guppies, and two varieties of snails. In particular, Orange Ramshorn will continue and other varieties will be discontinued.

As of February 18th, the snails have at least six clutches of eggs with an average of twelve per clutch. If all baby snails hatch and survive, a total of 72 will result. One clutch of twelve has already hatched. The orange Ramshorn snails appear ideal for space travel, are hardy, the fastest moving of all the snail varieties studied, and are not picky about food or environment.

A study is initiated regarding how to create an invention to communicate with snails during space travel. The Fish Talk invention is species dependent, working with optoelectronics and a built-in Fish to English translator, and will not work with snails. A new method and invention is being considered for snails.

Four species of plants are doing exceptionally well in all three tanks and have expanded to three additional containers. These are great oxygenator varieties and absorb co2 from the fish and snails. They are also good food for the snails, Chinese Algae Eater, and create habitats of privacy for the aquatics.

Adult populations are highly selective for space travel potentials, and with qualifications for the Astronaut Training Program, with ten candidate fish and five candidate snails.

Food includes Blood Worms, large and small shrimp, and apple. Two Guppy females are pregnant with an estimated 12 to 25 potential babies to each mother. If caught in time after birth, the yield could be up to 50 prized cultured fancy King Cobra Veil Tail Guppies. The yellow black spotted variety is highly rare and Humanoido repeatedly scoured prized aquatic stores to find this baseline treasure. This variety of species is currently being cultured into new strains.

Space1 Aquatics Space Program

Aquatics in Space
Humanoido at SPACE1 has developed an Aquatics Space Program (ASP), designed to introduce aquatic species to space travel.

ASP began with astronaut training of Dwarf Puffer fish and one astro tank. The program now extends to hybrid guppies and Orange Ramshorn snails with two additional larger astro tanks.

Last year (2018) Humanoido invented a voice interface for fish and tested it with Dwarf Puffer fish. The electronic opto-interface is non-invasive and species dependent. Thought now has a focus on a potential way to communicate with Ramshorn snails.

Snails are a different kind of species. They move faster than plants and slower than fish. "Snails can see, smell, taste, and touch. They see through eyes that are on their top tentacles, they smell and taste through receptors on their lower tentacles. They don't actually have ears, so they can't really hear, but they can feel vibrations with their sense of touch. Their sense of touch also includes pain and things like sensitivity to temperature. This sense of touch enables them to flee from situations that are hurting them and endangering their lives or health."

Space1 Fish Ears

SPACE1 studies reveal fish with hearing. Space faring fish will need sound considerations during rocket flights.

To keep fish from becoming psychotic, it's highly recommended to use external HOB tank filters where the hum and vibration of the aquarium filter and electric pump is more isolated outside the tank.

Sound that’s generated underwater stays underwater; very little sound passes from water to air. So you won't hear much when your loud filter motor is underwater. When your head is out of the water and you listen to a sound made underwater, you don’t hear much. But if you put your head under the water, the sound becomes much louder.

You also feel more of a sound when you’re underwater. Above the surface, the sound waves only vibrate your eardrum (unless the sound is very loud). When your head is submerged, your skull also vibrates with the sound because it's close to the same density and elasticity as water. Below the surface, sound waves pass directly through the water and into your head. These are all significant considerations for fish.

Water is a good conductor of sound. For starters, sound can travel through water up to five times faster than it travels through air. When a sound is carried to you through the air, you judge the location of its source by comparing when the sound reaches one ear versus the other. But when you’re under water, the sound travels so fast that it reaches both ears at almost the same time.

Space1 A Talking Fish

For a limited time, a fish talking video is available upon request

SPACE1 put huge efforts into making a machine that interfaces fish to English speech. Fish are a species that may one day become astronauts for space faring ventures.

What about fish that can talk with no interface? Is that possible?

While browsing one day at an aquarium store, a very large fish in a tank of his own would otherwise be the same as all the other fish, however when walking by, he said something! Going back to do a double take, indeed this fish was talking and saying something to get a person's attention!

How is that possible? Upon closer examination, the large brain fish revealed a set of human-like qualities - a rather mouth, large lips, an articulating tongue, and a set of human-like teeth. There was no doubt the fish was capable of speech and was making communicative utterances.

But this is fish language and needs translation into English, left for another project. The short video clearly shows the fish communicating. Interspecies communication is not only extremely rare but very important to science. We applaud his amazing efforts and talent. What was he saying? Was he being friendly looking for new owner? Perhaps he was lonely, wanted to do some friendly chat, make friends or just get out of that confining aquarium.

Space1 Fish Astronaut Training Program Expands

Space Astronaut Training program just became bigger

The Fish Division, has expanded to include three school environments. The program now includes a water world of nine gallons, of prepped and conditioned containment. Several brainy exploration Dwarf Puffer fish, graduates of the 1st Astronaut Training Program, dominate the scene. New configured fish tanks are awaiting the arrival of a new school of Guppies and snails about a week to a month away.

— SPACE1, an equal opportunity employer of a variety of intelligent species, is training special breed of fish to become potential graduate astronauts in the rocket program —

SPACE1 includes various species for space expiration and has now included fish which are noted for specific elements conducive to space travel, such as exploration, talking through specialized interfacing, intellectual capacity, and hardiness. The Astronaut Training Program identifies and hones the skill useful for rocket launches and space travel.

The lavish environment contains a variety of spectral illuminance lighting, electric heating, thermometric monitoring, filtering and aeration, a variety of plants for establishing fish territorial domains, and gravel for rooting plants and maintaining a balanced eco-system.

Space1 Fish Astronaut Training Program Results

Fish Astronauts
The candidate test results are in from the Fish Astronaut Training Program, Dwarf Puffer fish test experiments 1 through 15. The rating scale on 15 topics is from 0 through 10 with 0 useless and ten best.

Out of eleven fish tested, four test subjects could not handle the regimen and dropped out of the training program.

The remaining 7 candidates had the best highest possible ratings for the ability to hibernate and recover quickly, maintain a physical diminutive rocket size, and an extreme level of high intelligence. They seemingly have infinite curiosity and a great ability to learn and explore, with an excellent appetite for meat. Their ability to pick up English speech and complete learning programs was amazing, probably due to their ultimate ability to focus. They maintain an excellent sleeping schedule. However, test subjects could not handle confinement in small spaces, had bad personalities and fought, failed to get along by nipping and biting each other, were highly sensitive to any and all conditions, and were not hardy. These subjects are doubtful candidates for some rocket travel conditions, though may best fit into other parts of the isolation Fish Space Program. The fish passed ten tests with the highest possible ratings and completely failed five.

Intelligence - 10
Learning - 10
Focus & Attention - 10
English Speech - 10
Curiosity - 10
Ability to Explore - 10
Appetite - 10
Hibernation & Recover - 10
Sleep & Schedule - 10
Size -10
Territorial - 0
Personality - 0
Hardy - 0
Sensitivity - 0
Space Confinement - 0

Fish subjects with mean personalities, who fight, cause trouble for other fish, steal food, make territorial trouble, who are greedy and selfish with no regard to others, are an unnecessary burden on fish society, will be placed in the solitary confinement tank, restricted from any DNA breeding program and all other programs, and will be therefore terminated by the rules and regulations set forth in Par 15 sec 9. Old mean fish, with problematic mental disabilities will be removed from fish society and are also subject to the termination rules of Par 15 Sec 9.

Space1 Rocket X Design

Rocket X Capsule
Rocket X is being designed for an open front end capsule that can carry a variety of space Denizens, including Brain fish trained as astronauts and being carried with their own space-faring water environment.

Rocket X will have a sealed capsule capable of being pressurized and encapsulated with a fish water environment for fish space travel. The same capsule can have reconfiguration modes for other life forms. The capsule will have a drop in seal containing fish denizens and the complete water space environment. Filtering is based on the number of space faring denizens and the expected time of the mission. Fish are also susceptible to rocket effects such as G forces, weightlessness, temperature, pressure and rocket vibrations. The fish can also watch the entire mission through the picture window if the liner is transparent enough. If the liner is not transparent enough, it will be abandoned for a better plan with a clear surround picture window.

Space1 Fish Space Plant Transformer

Fish Space Transformer Plant

To prevent Dwarf Puffer fish in the Astronaut Training Program from becoming bored in their environment after hours and stunting their intellectual potentials, Humanoido has invented the Transformer Plant. On Earth, the plant acts weightless with a balanced buoyancy that can float as if floating weightless in space.

The unique invention is a submerged plant variety that's judiciously pruned to alter its center of gravity, so that it constantly changes floats, changing its position while rotating in the tank. This is based on its changing balance of buoyancy due to water pressure variance caused by the opposing water pressure balance of two water filter aerators.

This greatly amuses the fish, entertains for hours, and pleases the fish who get to explore the plant in motion from an infinite number of angles, views, locations, and positions.

It's also likely the fish enjoy playing with the changing water currents as the plant is transforming its position. As Dwarf Puffer fish are very curious fish and avid explorers, the Transformer Plant offers a great opportunity of excitement and challenge.

Photos, taken with the new Fish Side Cam, show the changing transforming position of the Transformer Plant over the course of a few minutes. Also seen are numerous fish exploring the interesting plant.

Space1 Dwarf Puffer Fish Update 1

1st photo from the new side Fish Cam

Brainy Dwarf Puffer Fish Updates
Space1 has taken charge of picky and brainy dwarf puffer fish which have applied for the Astronaut Training Program, and made changes thus creating their new environment.

Their school is now doubled in size from one gallon to two gallons, along with two filters instead of one, a gravel floor instead of pellet soil, and with plants reconfigured to improve the environment and more readily amuse the fish.

The fish have grown in two weeks and are now accustomed to hand feeding of frozen blood worms. Their diet was recently supplemented with a mosquito that was eaten by the meat eating group faster than the eyes could see. Lighting from high intensity LEDs was turned off due to its creation of algae and are used only during feeding.

The worm in the small tank was identified as a harmless Rhabdocoela worm. These worms usually stay in the ground soil and only occasionally appear on the walls. If anything, they eat waste from the ground for recycling like tiny scavengers. The worm introduction to the new tank was carefully avoided as they compete with snails. The plan is to introduce common snails to the small tank for growing after the tank is reset. Then, snails will become another food staple for the fish who can grind their teeth on the shells.

Also modified is the Fish Cam, now relocated to the right side of the tank, and mounted on the small one gallon aquarium. On the order list is an aquarium twenty times the size of the original aquarium. A larger tank is much more stable and can hold more fish. The smallest fish tank may be repurposed as a terrarium to grow talking plants. The fish, always raised as a group, are not overly territorial and new plants will soon be introduced.

They often observe every leaf on the vegetation with much patience and curiosity but never pick at it for food remnants. They like to eat only fresh new introduced meat food and once it hits the ground, it will be ignored. For this reason, the instructor now holds the food at the water surface until the fish swarm and tear it from the hand. Keeping the tank clean requires a siphon pump and hose for cleaning the gravel every day.

Space1 Fish Tragedy

Fish Tragedy at the School!
On Friday November 17th 2018 tragedy struck at the civilian school where three fish students died. The school will be closed for several days of grace period observing the deaths of the students.

The containment school fish tank was .9 gallon, well maintained, and part of the containment study. An investigation was launched in the deaths of all three students and body autopsies were performed at the clinic. Funerals were held in traditional fish settings. Photos cannot be released as the next of kin are not contacted. A contributory fund is being established for the surviving families.

According to the investigation, new LED lights were being used for school sessions. Suddenly in the course of one day, a resultant brown algae fungus permeated the environment covering the plants, tank walls, thermometer and possibly the fish. Water appeared dull and dusty with contaminates, even though the water was appropriately changed on schedule.

Next, horrifying unidentified white transparent body devil worms rose out of the soil pellets - a variety unappealing to the fish, then three of the best students died. Small Agatha Christie was the first to go, her lifeless pale body being swept away by currents into the sheathing on the filter intake, followed by Christina Aguilera who was found lifelessly floating in the plant leaves. Mr. Carlyle's body was the largest and the most recent to die according to the fish coroner, and remained floating lifelessly in the corner of the tank. All bodies were retrieved by paramedics using nets and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Fish autopsies were not conclusive but best guess according to the aquatics coroner, in the order of probability, is death by water contamination due to A) algae contamination, B) fungus, C) Devil worms, D) water imbalance. As dwarf Puffers like to sleep on the ground at night, it's possible they were attacked by tiny Devil Worms. New LED lighting was likely too intensive permitting algae to grow uncontrolled. Also blamed is the small filter with limited aeration using sponge and no charcoal.

The investigative court is recommending immediately doubling the size of the aquarium, introducing baby snails, eliminating all worms, improving the filter, and reducing all LED lighting. The small tank will be sterilized, reestablished for raising snails. A fungus cleaning regime will be introduced with routine inspections for algae growth. In the long term, the court recommends a fish tank twenty times larger that the original for greater stability.

Space1 Fish Space Suit

World's First Fish Space Suit
SPACE1 begins the design and development of the world's first Fish Space Suit, a complete containment Eco suit designed for fish astronauts and fish tourists traveling into space on rocket trips.

The chemical battery powered space suit enables fish to travel within the realm of space. The fish suit contains a containment window allowing a clear visible view to the outside world for work and tourism, a miniature electric portable air pump and air tank for aerating water. An internal active urea filter cleans the environment as the water is continuously recycled. Temperature regulation includes a small electric heater and a miniature electric Peltier cooler for the extremes of space. The suit offers its own degree of protection from cosmic rays and space radiation.

The fish space suit allows fish to go into space as astronauts and keeps the typical mobility that fish are most familiar with. The suit design minimizes internal abrasion against scales or fish skin. The suit is custom built for individual fish breed matching the size and characteristic requirements. The first suit design does not contain food and is for short duration space missions.

More work remains for research and testing within this new field of space fish astronauts, and how fish will interact to the various elements of a space environment, such as duration effects, G-force, weightlessness, rocket vibration, and a host of other parameters.

Space1 Dwarf Puffer Fish Study

Interest Level Study of the Dwarf Puffer Fish
Seven Experiments with Fish Intelligence Leading to Potential Fish Astronauts
by Humanoido, Founder of SPACE1 Industries
---------------------------------------
Prologue
Gold eyes, lips, teeth, human-like skin, tiny and cute, a faithful companion, with an exceptional thoughtful contemplative brain capable of higher order learning... Aquarium fish keepers are finding this tiny meat eater to be an exceptional curious explorer of space both inside and outside the aquarium, capable of recognizing its owner, and with the most unexpected and unique characteristics.

The advent marketing of the smallest Puffer fish in the Tetraodon family, the Dwarf Puffer, has opened up an exciting new world! They say good things come in small packages and this is surely the case with the uniquely characterized, highly intelligent but small and cute Dwarf Puffer fish. Space1 Industries has an eye on this species and for good reason - the fish is one of the most intelligent and demonstrates potential prospects for becoming astronauts and traveling in space.

Introduction
The Dwarf Puffer fish is a native to Asia at the slow moving rivers of southwest India in the Malabar region. It's a recent exciting introduction to the aquarium world and a buzz word taking the world by storm. The fish is also known as Dwarf Indian Puffer, Pygmy Puffer, Pea Pufferfish, Malabar Puffer, Bumblebee Puffer or by its technical name, Carinotetra Travancoricus. However, beyond general information not much is known about this mysterious fish.

SPACE1 Industries
Here at SPACE1, a school of Dwarf Puffer fish are kept in a dedicated research tank, and they are literally being studied. The fish are also studying and being trained in a special new school for fish. Humanoido invented the Fish Small Talk interface so fish can speak and the Fish Astronaut Training Program for potential future fish traveling in space with a goal to command space ships and be a valuable part of the team and mission goals. This research is studying the Dwarf Puffer, learning about its potentials, and teaching it new things for intellectual pursuit. The idea is that someday fish can go into space exploring the Universe alongside humans.

Characteristics
Humanoido at SPACE1 is conducting studies - this fish is so highly intelligent that it loves to be an explorer, not only exploring the inside of the aquarium tank but outside as well (as seen through the glass walls)! The fish so brainy that it’s trainable and can recognize the face of its master. It’s also the reason SPACE1 chose it to start up the world’s first Fish Astronaut Training Program to prepare the finest fish candidates for travel on board rockets. It's also a reason for developing the new Fish Small Talk interface enabling the fish to do basic English speaking about habits, moods, and environment.

Enthusiasm & Mood
To get the fish to respond and stay enthusiastic, they must be intellectually stimulated, happy with their well kept clean environment, well fed, and have a regular schedule of day activities and proper sleep at nighttime.

The 1st Experiment (red light tracking)
In the first interest level experiment, a red light led outside of the tank was indirectly wavered at the front of the tank, resulting in four highly interested puffer fish that came over, moved in closer, stopped patiently, and moved their eyes around studying and following the light to track its motion. This is a remarkable behavior for fish.

2nd Experiment (watching cell phone apps)
Next, the interesting app screen from a cell phone was placed near the front of the tank. This more varied colorful scene attracted six puffers that gathered by the screen and intensely studied the phone moving their eyes around looking at the individual app icons.

3rd Experiment (English text)
When the phone screen was switched to English text, five fish were highly interested as if they were trying to decipher the characters. The moved in closer to the screen to get a better view. Their two eyes, that move independently of each other, were scanning the view. One can only guess what their fish brains were thinking. Can fish be trained to read?

Experiment Four (clock watching)
Humans are known to do "clock watching," especially on Friday at work during the final moments of the day. But fish? In the next experiment, a sim clock with mechanical moving hands was introduced. Fish eagerly lined up to watch the apparition, appearing mesmerized by the first sight of the actively moving clock hand. Can fish have a concept of time?

Experiment Five (stimulus removal)
When the phone was removed, only one fish hung around as if wanting more stimulation and excitement. Others became bored, lost interest and swam away. This ability to keenly watch and study the outside world with great observation, cognition and enthusiasm is the key to expanding its learning and interactive abilities.

Experiment Six (recognizing its master)
Also noted, when you enter the room, the faithful companion Dwarf Puffer will try to get your attention by moving to the front glass of the tank and swimming up and down.

Experiment Seven (hand signal for eating)
When they are trained to respond to the feeding hand signal, they will return to the top surface with a behavior to find the exact same eating location. Don't mix up feeding with master recognition. After they learn the hand feeding command, they still respond in a totally different way compared to seeing the owner make a presence. This shows a genuine interest these fish have in the owner.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the Dwarf Puffer Fish is shown to have high interest levels in activity both inside and outside of the aquarium. These smart fish are about interaction, exploration, and intellectual pursuits, in addition to normal fish pursuits and activities such as eating, sleeping and mating. The fish have high levels of intelligence with the ability to track and follow, observe in detail with independent eyes, recognize its owner, and can be trained to follow hand signals. The fish has a high interest level in new things, such as the apps on a cell phone screen or watching the moving hand on a clock.

Attributes of the Dwarf Puffer Fish
* Has unique personalities
* Often has a human appearing face
* Inquisitive
* Explorer
* Interested in the outside world

Space1 Industries November 2018 Comment

Space1 Industries November Comment by Humanoido

Personal log comments by Humanoido, Founder of Space1 Industries

Mid November 2018

Each day I find the new fish species are far more smarter than I ever imagined. The things they are capable of doing are amazing. Their rates of learning are rapid and incredible. Their faces have human-like expressions of character that I did not notice before. I have the group (of fish) studying in daily school, providing stimulating intellectual mind challenges from cell phone apps visible through the tank glass so they will grow with deep intellectual stimulation, expand their open minds, and grow in a very rich environment. There are three new papers I'm working on. One is about the project I started in 1955 that led to design and construction of tens of thousands of inventions leading to a new life form over six decades later. Another paper is about experiments showing the high intelligence of the new brainy Asian C fish. One is a study of the human-like characteristics and habits of this new species. They can already recognize my face, respond to commands, and are highly interested and inquisitive enthusiastic explorers regarding the outside world. The school of eleven fish are entered into our Fish Astronaut Training Program and undergoing tests, and learning new things for potential space travel. One project I'm teaching is about the concept of time. There are three bright fish students in this group and we are exploring their potential concept of time. Studies also continue with plants and the development of the speech invention interface that allows both plants and fish to talk. A symbiotic friendship and cooperation between humans and fish can merge our worlds together into better understanding and one of cooperation. I see space flight a possibility for all life forms that hold intelligence and embrace the interest to become great explorers of the far reaching frontier.

Space1 DIY Fish Cam

How to Build a DIY Fish Cam

Fish Cam with stock lens prefocused

Introduction
The fish cam is made from a discarded discontinued 8-bit 640x480 logitech computer cam with an adjustable lens. Good images of fish are obtained by turning the lens to the shortest possible focal length which is about 3 inches. This images fish swimming about 3-inches into the tank. However, the field of view is much too limited and one must wait some time for a fish to swim into focus.

The color USB web camera is made for Microsoft Windows on a PC computer. The third party Mac software shows 640x480 photos using a 1,300,000 pixel CCD. It has a 2.6-foot cord built in. Macam software can be downloaded for free and will include live views, adjustments and photo capture.

Original Logitech Cam

Modification
The cam has a plastic case with a swing down lid that gets in the way of mounting to aquarium. As the cam was old, it was easy to snap off the lid thus creating greater clearance between the cam and the face of the glass aquarium for easy mounting using 3M duct tape. Fig. 2

Making the Cam Mount
The Cam fits into a discarded 2.5-inch diameter plastic water bottle trimmed 4-inches from the bottom and with a semicircular cutout for the lens. Slide the mount back and forth in front of the tank and adjust the cam lens focus for each distance.

Pinhole increased depth but with vignetting

Improving the Depth of View
To improve the depth of view to capture sharper images of fish beyond the 3-inch range, an aperture pin hole stop was placed over the lens. The aperture stop successfully improved focus across a larger depth of view however it also caused significant vignetting, thus limiting the FOV field of view to a small circle in the center of the frame.

Added fish eye phone lens for a wide FOV

Larger Field of View
To improve the cam significantly, create a much larger FOV, and maintain a large field depth focus, an extra lens was added to the existing cam lens. At a cost under US$10, the 37mm 0.45x 49UV Super Wide Angle Phone Lens was configured and clipped onto the front of the cam over the lens center. Readjust the cam lens for focus each time the cam is moved. The result is a dramatic improvement, showing more fish throughout most of the aquarium in focus.

TV-like view of entire aquarium is amazing

Attaching the Modified Cam
There are two options. One, attach the modified cam with the extra lens direct to the glass front of the aquarium with duct tape. This will show the appearance of larger fish in the direction of where the cam is aimed. The second option is to mount the cam farther away from the front of the tank. This can give a TV-like view of the entire aquarium for watching all the fish at the same time. Again, the original cam lens will need to be refocused for the sharpest view.

Live window is spectacular to watch

Using the Fish Cam
While the Fish Cam can provide hours of entertainment and is loads of fun, it can also be psychological beneficial with its mood calming, and scientifically useful. The Fish Cam window can be placed anywhere on your work computer screen like a real time miniature aquarium. The cam can photo, video record and monitor a community of fish and analyze swarming patterns, behaviors, eating patterns, and identify fish by their analyzed markings. It can identify healthy or sick fish and study the condition of the plants and tank. It can be used to create a digital photo book and show growing fish and plants over time. Get to know your fish closeup. If the aquarium is a small nano tank, the Fish Cam electronic window lifts up the image of the tank and fish to a very convenient location. Watching the live window on a Mac with Macam is spectacular as the top half of the tank is a moving rippling reflection of the water and fish below.

Going Further
Ironically the best views are with the fish-eye lens. However, the wide angle fish eye lens may be reconfigured as a macro lens to take microscope-like images. This can be useful for examining fish and plants close-up though it may require special mounting.
