Allie, actually, all of the above shots were taken WITHOUT the flash  That's why I love my Nikon so much. It can take great photos without using the flash. But it's best to use a tripod when taking pictures without the flash, otherwise the pictures may be blurred, especially in darkened conditions. In bright daylight, you can take good shots without the flash and without the tripod too.
P.S. Though I do have fish pictures taken with flash too. It's not that hard actually.

I do the same thing... set the camera on a tripod, turn the room lights off and then turn off the flash. My camera, and I'm sure Isabella's has a timer. I set mine to 10 seconds, hit the button and then back away from the camera. This way you get a much better chance of a clear picture. It'll definitly be sharper and more natural looking than with a flash.

If you still have Nikon lenses then they would be able to fit on a new Nikon DSLRs. I have a 28-90mm Quantaray lens and a 70-300 macro Quantaray lens for my old Nikon 35mm SLR and they work great on my Nikon D80. New to this site so I'll need to get some pictures of my fish up here too.
Isabella - Those photos of your angle fish make me want one more. I just need a new tank to put them in first.

Oh really now?? That is VERY interesting, thank you! I have a few of my old lenses still. My favorite is a 200mm zoom/macro lens that used to belong to my dad. I'll have to take it with me when I go to buy a new camera and see if it fits. If so, that will have a huge impact on what I buy, obviously.
Thanks for the tip!

Once again, thanks everyone
Lili, I think you're talking about my Cherry Barb  Males are very deep and vivid red color, especially when breeding. They're really beautiful and peaceful little fish.

Isabella,
Your plants are amazing! Can I ask what kind of lighting and bulbs you have? Also, do you use a co2 unit?

Hi ... I know it's way too late to reply (been away from Fish Lore for a while), but if you happen to read this thread again: Here are all the stats on my tank's setup: Isabella's 75 gallon planted tank :o)
