1. Plenty of light: The more the better, tank lights or top-down flash light all help. Lighting is the key toward good aquarium photography (actually, apply to all photography cases).

2. Faster shutter speed: 1/100s and faster is safer, and 1/200s is nearly OK for turning around bichirs.

3. Smaller aperture size (the larger number): 11 or above (the smaller aperture the larger depth of field).

4. Top-down external flash light on tank top is good (studio flash light is even better), built-in flash light is not good.

5. Be patient, and spend more time (you'll get reward).

I mostly use 1/200s~1/250s, F16~22 for aquarium photography (I do setup plenty of lights for the tank)
 
thanks much CDM-Anne

No. The ISO function sets the sensitivity of the camera sensor. Typically the higher the ISO, the more sensitive to light the sensor is, meaning less light is required for the image. However, the pic quickly becomes quite grainy as the ISO number increases.
