Link? Mo was talking about it in the Camera thread in the photo section... but that's 18 pages or something now, have fun finding it!
Basically it comes down to having a remote flash mounted on top of tank, a flash controller (Canon st-e2 or another master capable flash... or with many Nikon dSLRs it's built-in) then using a very small aperture & short shutter to help freeze any movement. Think I was using f/18 or f/22 and a 1/200s shutter speed.
Then fun part is waiting for the fish to swim underneath where the flash was mounted. Patience is needed!

I had to crop out some distracting things in the background for the 2nd photo. Guess I could go back and see if I can get a proper 1/3 rule photo out of the un-edited photo. Didn't have the freedom to sit and wait for her to pose, basically just picked up the camera when I had a chance while working 
She's somewhere in between 8-9" now. VERY destructive. Down to a single clay pot and a pile of now floating plastic plants.
