Mine are always all over the place, swimming so fast then stopping, then swimming about again!
As far as I know there are 2 types of pictus cat. One is Columbian - the type I have, and the other is Peruvian. It is possible that you have the Peruvian variety.

Yes there was an element of luck involved, keeping the camera poised at the spot that it kept stopping at after swimming about the tank. Hence he isnt dead centre etc. I was really surprised it came out so clear!

Couple more pics, again using the same method of waiting until the fish comes round to rest in the same spot

Good stuff, its always good to be patient when taking pictures.
I sometimes use my sisters tripod (she was a phography student at uni). This also helps alot for closeup fish pictures.

Yeh hes 7" but I havent seen any evidence of him going after other fishes...yet
Hopefully by adding lots of bogwood so that there is reduced line of site and lots of terratories/caves etc. for the catfishes to hide in, I will have minimal problems.
Ben
p.s. where did you take yours back to?
