Thanks. Aquarium pictures are hard! Seems like using flash tended to wash out colors (not to mention the glare in a lot of shots), while shots without the flash were often blurry. Had to take a bunch to get these. Are there any guides on here that walk through how to get good aquarium photos? Anybody with experience want to chime in?
The puppies were easy. Just have to get them before they charge and start licking and let the extreme cuteness do the rest.

Your photos are awesome!
But since you asked... here are a couple tips. Some of which I'm sure you know, but I'll just copy/paste the thing
Tips on aquarium photo shooting!
A: wipe the glass inside and out. It's frustrating to get that perfect shot... with a nice water mark right by the fish
B: pull your lights forward if possible. Pictures don't represent fish colors very well. Pulling it forward will let more light hit the sides of the fish, reflecting more color toward the lens. No flash needed
C: sit in front of the tank for a while and play a game on your phone. Lots of fish go nuts (or shy) when people approach the tank. This might allow them to settle down.*
D: increase shutter speed if possible to eliminate blurry fast fish*
F: Take rapid pics if possible
G: if you're using a high quality camera, skip feeding for a day or 2, and use extra filter floss and carbon in the filters. Fancy cameras can ruin pics by showing tiny impurities
that's it for now, I hope it helps in some way!
