Very impressive, I love that black starlight granite. I have to ask how did you capture those images? I am guessing macro lens and overhead flash? I have a Nikon D1x but have not been able to do what you have.

you are right..canon 100mm f2.8 macro.
the body is 450d...580ex II flash with bouncer...
before when i dont have the flash, everything was a lot harder.
the flash just helps so much, like i can go f8 with 1/800s or sometimes even 1/1000s and still got a really good exposure. if you have a macro lens, a ring flash would work more better i think.
after some practice. i just came up with some tricks to myself, maybe a lot people already knows.
i just get closer to the tank, and till the camera a little forward against the front glass, maybe like 75 or 80 degree angle with the front glass. basically its just shooting a little above the fish.
but if the lens and the flash are angled parallel with the front glass, and you are shooting straight to the fish, sometimes you will get bad reflections from the glass, which i think you dont want that...
