I was lucky enough to be sitting in front of the tank with the camera near by when my big 18" ornate bichir came out to get a mouthful of air so i quickly took a few snaps.

The twisty bits of wood are mangrove root, they usually sell it for reptile enclosures at pet shops and floats at first but eventually sinks if you weight it down.
