Yesterday I got my shipment of plants from Snappy and they were great, she sent me tons at a very, very low price and all of the plants appeared to be in top notch condition. I arranged the new plants and the fish seemed pretty excited to have more places to explore. I took some pictures and got a few somewhat decent ones. Fish are extraordinarily difficult to photograph unless you can find a way to distract them so they can stop moving for a second.

Since I hadn't been able to get any pictures of any of the Ottos, I finally caught one while he was upside down and exposed. They are easy to get pictures of during the day when they're out in the open because they just sit still for long periods of time during the day.

Also, I dropped a snail in to the tank and was able to catch Achilles as she was hunting it. Achilles often gets the snails out of their shell before they even hit the ground in the tank, but in this instance I got lucky. It's an ok picture, but I wish I could manage to get some better ones!
