New D5000 Pics from my 180 Gallon

But why would a moving camera ever help the situation? When using the correct aperture, f stop & shutter speed, the last thing you want is the camera moving too.

He's not saying hand movement would help, he's just saying that a tripod makes no difference, since the movement of your hands is negligible when compared to the movement of the fish . Also, if your lens has VR or VR-II, than almost all (if not all) hand movement is compensated for.

If you want sharp pics, get a flash and position it above the tank (and get a chord or equal for firing it remotely, I don't know if D5000 has commander mode for flashes).

Exactly, photography is about light.
