    That would be the easiest part as the fish move quicker than she does. She cant see this right ?

    Maybe you could do a few scrapes on her as I would be easier than doing a fish as she knows how to keep still hopefully 😂

    Haha. My pond is 7 feet with 6 foot of water. Its just took me 2 weeks to net a yamabuki ogon for a scrape.
    Its in my qt now. Got it by putting food in. And waiting with the net.
    I caught 2 fish in a oner.
    So that got a scrape as well.

    Microscope arrived safely and I have started a review from opening the box to setting it up. First hitch was the camera not being compatible with my Mac but found that VLC or Photo Booth works just fine . Happy days

    Yes apex practitioner on Amazon. I got a mount to use my phone on the microscope which I have found much better than the minigrab and saves you a few quid.

    Only thing that's a bit tricky is lining up the phone camera and securing it in place.

    Hi Laura,

    I was quite impressed with the minigrab after finding how to get it to work with a Mac. Solid when in place and have to admit at being quite impressed with it. Now need to become a bit more confident in scraping and looking for flukes etc etc.

    I use a plastic gift card to take scrapes. Much safer.

    Just to confirm is that basically the same as an old credit or debit card?

    As long as it's not a contactless payment card or it could cost you a fortune every time you did a scrape

    Yes I know - I'm already going ....................

    Where was the mount from Laura. Thinking of getting the mini grab or maybe a phone mount. Got the practitioner already.

    You will get the hang of it. The hardest part is catching the fish and getting them to keep still long enough to get a decent sample.
