Great Pics! How do you get the black look behind the fish? (light off on the tank, then using some sort of special flash?... just a guess lol)

It was above the tank, using a radio trigger.

That's what I'm already doing.

I cleaned the glass pretty thoroughly, then pushed the light to the very front of the tank and used the largest possible aperture setting on my lens (which is 3.5). I also have a black background on the tank itself, which helps a little. I didn't have any sort of flash when I took those pics, except for the built-in flash on my camera, but now that I have the speedlight, I don't have to do anything special with the lighting to get that effect.

26" (27.5" including barbels), and a little over 1.5 years old.

I'm not sure if I have any recent ones... I'll see if I do, and if not I'll take a new one.

This one's fairly recent (although it has exposure issues):
