It came from the abyss...

cool, whats your set up like? using any off camera flashes? (i find they are one of the most impt things for aquarium photog)

Nikon d5100 firing a SB400 flash remotely via a cable. I have it on the top of the tank firing down. If I'm trying to get to the bottom of the tank I have it firing straight in if I'm taking pics of the arowana near the surface I'll use the styrofoam cooler diffuser trick. The tank is a standard 150.

I have gotten a few pretty good shots of my other fish (see below), I just can't seem to convince the GATF to play nice. He does NOT light the camera being up close to the tank for some reason

Here's my arowana:

Nice shots! A Macro lens would keep it pretty sharp for close ups. I have a 60mm f/2.8 Macro and it's my go to fish lens, lol!

nice! for gatf set the camera on a wide angle & tripod. try setting to manual focus where you notice he often swims and just wait
