Hope to improve through constructive criticism...

The focus seem wrong. Shld focus on their eyes. Also, increase the f-stop or back off to increase the depth of field so that the entire subject can be sharper.

some more pics of tankmates...

[amiidae]

Left pectoral a little too dark. Will have better result with extra set of flash.
Need to focus the eye.


Focus good.
You need extra set of flash to improve the result shooting large subject.

Subject a little underexposed.

Focus good but not very sharp (except that pleco's photo). I believe it could due to the followings :

1) Your lens quality.

2) Taken with the fish at the far end of the tank. Distortion due to tank water and tank glass. (between the subject and your lens).

3) You didn't position 90 degree (shooting position) perpendicular to the tank glass.
