Of course. I must warn that some are large, ranging from half a meg to 5 megs, and in either mpg or mov format, not avi. Heh, I had more, but my webmaster runs a bit tighter ship than I have gotten use to and... I may have lost a few or misplaced them at very least.
The first video I have is of the M. tigrinus taking a shrimp off a feeding prong(1.44meg)
http://scott.aaquaria.com/videos/tigrinusfeeding.mov
This is a short one of my royal pleco rooting around for algae wafers (445 k)
http://scott.aaquaria.com/royal.mpg
Third is my niger with a female zebra pleco (2.83 meg)
http://scott.aaquaria.com/nigerzebra.mov
A short one showing the niger's tendency to huff everything in and expell what he doesn't like. (2.53 meg)
http://scott.aaquaria.com/niger1.mov
The juruense showing it's prefered eating technique (4.28 meg)
http://scott.aaquaria.com/juruense.mov
The juruense showing off his caudal fin extension, and just how hyper they are at that size (5.09 meg)
http://scott.aaquaria.com/energetic.mov
And a zebra pleco poking through the gravel for bits of food.(925k)
http://scott.aaquaria.com/zebra.mpg
also have one of the stingrays doing their typical 3 stooges routine... like watching cartoons.(4.27 meg)
http://scott.aaquaria.com/videos/raypounce.mov
first and last ones seem like they may be corrupt... I can't view them and my server has been flakey to say the least lately, so... I dunno what that's all about. will do best to eiter grab another pic of the same thing or find the originals.

they work fine for me!but I got ADSL, wich to cable is the next best thing (750 and something kbs/sec). with a 56/128kb modem, I think it's a tough job....
what a nice Tigrinus! ever handfed him with no tools, or he don't like that?

Works fine here on 56K, just right click and save A$ then watch when downloaded.
Nice videos BTW.

SG, nope, he's not into that yet, I got him at 10 inches and now he's about a foot, he was use to feeders after importation so I'm not sure I'll ever get him to hand feed. I'm happy to have him off feeders though. ;) the bugger'd be fun to hand feed because he loves to clamp down on a shrimp midway up the body and play tug of war... sometimes he'll sit there with half a shrim hanging out of his mouth for a minute or 2 unless I give it a tug, then he gobbles it. A dangerous choice in the stingray tank... they wouldn't hesitate to latch onto it and throw one of their pancake fits till he lets go.
The jurense is much smaller, and I'm hoping I can work out hand feeding with him in time.
