I'll pick number 2. Although it is showing shadow, it has less detail indicating a larger aperture was used.
I remember these pics and how they came out so bright, so it won't be fair to answer!Chaitika;4788759;4788759 said:I'm just waiting on Jose's guess.

Ah, okay. darn.
Well, for the other guys, these were all taken without flash.
The point?
I forget now.
No, the point is I would not be able to shoot pics this crisp with a kit lens without flash, so there is some value to going with good glass (if you can afford it) before flash.

I will have to disagree (politely of course
) again b/c your circumstances for shooting may be different than others. I agree that glass vs. glass there is no comparison, pro wins in ALL apertures. But we have to think that not everyone has a brightly colored fish, high output bulbs over the tank, the ability to hold a camera steady etc etc etc. With that in mind, when people as SPECIFICALLY what should I buy first to get better pix with my DSLR, I say a flash. This is the broadest solution to the problem of more light. Then of course, if you have the $$ go ftw and get both. Nice trick with the shots, and I feel a little amateur guessing one of them 
btw, did you ever get the 600?

I know most fish keepers will think it's nuts to spend $$$$$$ on a lens.
Honestly, I was trying to bait Jose but didn't realize he saw these pics elsewhere, lol. Sorry, Jose.
As to the 600, not in my bag yet. I need to buy a truck first.

Probably buy two for the price of that friggin beast. I am lusting afer the 85 1.4 at the moment. I had the 1.8 but that big honking glass is calling me.
