The photo's are taken with an Nikon D80 and on top of the aquarium an speedlight SB - 800

ISO as low as possible, F10 and a shuttertime of 160/200

you left out one important detail. . . which lens! I would bet 60mm. I am really thinking hard about a switch to Nikon gear! Fish and photos are great by the way!
Ya . . . I'm from Winnipeg, so what? ;)

Ray, I used a very simple AF-S Nikkor 18-55 lens for it! ;)

Your pics are the best example that there's no need to have super pricey camera and equipment to take brilliant photos! ;)
