Yesterday I noticed my snail climbed up the side of my tank to the surface and sat there for a bit and then went back down. a few minutes later he shot straight up to the surface - he floated up to the surface, i figured he was dead. after that he sank down to the bottom and just sat there for...

how the heck do you manage to snap off a good picture in the tank? all mine come out fuzzy or out of focus, no matter how I mess with the settings, the ones that did look decent were either really blue or really yellow or something.. any strategies for getting great closeups? Im using a 5.1mpx...
