Who says you need a fast shutter for fish?

I was shooting some macro work and this goby came into view. He actually sat still for a 1.3 second exposure. This is probably the longest exposure I've ever had on a fish, lol.

I have been known to give fish sedatives from time to time. The real trick is getting them to swallow a pill the size of them

Thanks for the comments guys. I used my Canon 30D and Sigma 150mm F/2.8 macro lens. I forgot to put the settings of the shot: ISO 200, F/11, and 1.3 second exposure. It's really not that interesting or colorful of a shot, I was more surprised that a fish could sit still for that long, lol.
