Just a couple from the tank.

Frecklebelly. These are feisty little fellows, quite the fin nipper.

Logperch. Couldn't get him to come to the front of the tank, so the shot is a bit fuzzy. About 5" long. This fellow couldn't find a space large enough under a rock to sit, so it dug out a home.

Camera is Olympus E3. Lens is 50 F2 Macro. Flash is STF-22 twin head macro flash. I'm finally getting the hang of eliminating the flash reflection on the glass, by getting the flash so close to the tank glass that any reflections are outside the lens's image circle.

Still wrestling with getting enough depth of field, the frecklebelly's tail is slightly out of focus. I suppose I could use a sheet of glass to get the fish flat against the front of the tank, but somehow, those shots never look very natural.
