I was just curious if he managered to get a photo in. The way mine
move whenever I'm in front of the tank , I don't think I'ld even get
the tail in the picture:~)
But he has managed to get some good photos of a few other fast moving
small species. Just check out the sharpness of the P furcatus on the
back cover of the first edition.
