Practice, clean glass, clean water, and good lighting. A DSLR helps tremendously but will not give you instant good pix. You have to learn manual camera settings in order to get good pix IMO.
In the end, more light (especially from the top of the tank) will result in better pictures if the settings are correct.

oh I forgot skillz... mad skillz... rallys got em, my wife has it... I am just a lucky fool who gets one every now and then...
Play with the settings- night setting has a lower shutter speed and allows more light in. Action setting means a higher shutter speed. The macro setting can be helpful as well.

How? deep pockets thats how! You got to have the right equipment and that stuff ain't cheap. And you also gotta know a thing or two about manual settings.
Just a few days ago I started messing with the manual settings on my point-n-shoot (shutter speed, exposure, and all that other weird stuff - I'm a novice!). This was the best I managed to get with my el-Cheap-O Sony digital camera

^What he said.Just learn whatever camera you have. Even the best camera available takes crappy pics if you don't know the camera.
It's all about the lighting, cause that helps with the aperture and shutter speed control.
