We call him The Catfish! What an original name! It may even be more original than our kitty named Kitty! He likes to sit on the bottom of the tank, so motion wasn't really a problem. Lack of light was a problem, and I shot this at ISO 400 (thus the noise!).

I like how the DOF helps him blend into the background.

Not a bad shot. A little more light would have let you increase the depth of field a bit. One good way to take pictures of fish is to use glass or plastic panels to put around the fish and isolate where they can go (for fish that move around more). If you use a rubber lens hood on your lens (one of those collaspable ones that don't cost a whole lot) you can put the lens right up on the glass, with the rubber lens hood up against the glass. Then you can use flash or additional light and you won't get a reflection from the glass in front of your lens.

The rubber lens hood trick works pretty good for taking pictures out of airplane windows and through other windows where you might get reflection back from it.
