Aquarium Cam in Japan

Here is a live aquarium cam located somewhere in Japan that shows a very wide variety of sea life including sharks, rays and who knows how many types of fish.  This is a remote control aquarium cam but seems to have limited control, so you may only be able to move it a little.  Since this is in Japan, this may be dark after about noon in the U.S., so if it is, check back late at night to watch or early in the morning.

An Excellent Aquarium Cam

Another excellent aquarium cam has been discovered, this one featuring high quality video with sound so you can hear the fish squeak.  Ok, there’s no sound and fish don’t squeak…I think.  Anyway, it has one cam where you watch from above the water and another to watch under water.  Wednesday nights are Disco fish nights!

In addition to our other Alpaca cam, we have yet another one, this time located in Canada.  This Alpaca cam is from Misty Haven Alpacas in Ontario.  This one allows you to pan and tilt the camera, and comes with some preset locations as well.  I wish it would let you zoom in, but oh well.
