but the aperture smallest number means the focus is more in the middle of your focus, or wherever your focus is. The further the other area is away from the focus, will be blurred.. maybe your lens is good. if use my lens smallest aperture F2, will not have all area focused in the whole picture.

sorry i was all the while referring to full tank shot.. not close-ups of fishes.. yes F11 is way overkill for fish shot.

Very simple lah. For flash photography, just shift your position. Do not point your camera w/flahs right infront of the glass. Take photo of your subject at an angle. See below chart got from online.
