I noticed through observation that some of the fish will respond predictably under certain conditions. This works particularly well when I am trying to get one shot or another. With the Pearsei I have found that if I photograph in the morning just prior to feeding she gets more aggressive....biting the glass. When she's "in a mood" I am able to draw her easily into the "staging area" where I have my lights set. Here's three of several that I took while she was showing off:
