A little bit of motion blur. Try a higher shutter speed with a higher ISO if you need to.

Nice little angel! What else do you have in your tank? Reef? I'd like to see some photos of the other stuff in your tank too!

Funny, I had the same thoughts going through my head, I love the aquarium fish hobby, had many coral reef tanks and fresh water setups in the past. The only thing that holds me back is not having a steady or long term residence at any particular location, in the last 5 years, I've moved 3 times and every time I had to move even my small tanks it was a PITA.

an overhead flash, low ISO and small aperture works good for fish, but I've heard a lot of reef keepers have trouble with the colors of corals when they use a flash, might be worth a try tho.

Pic Looks great for no flash, not sure how the XTI is on ISO noise but a shutterspeed around 60-80 might get a little less blur if the higher ISO setting doesn't get too grainy to see the extra detail.
