I'm gonna keep this up until I take pictures that make your eyes pop out, or until, you guys get tired of me and I can't log in anymore. [smilie=fear2.gif]
I have received ALOT of good advise and I am still practicing, but I welcome any thoughts or advice that you may have. Thanks.

It's a beautiful fish. And, the focus of the photo seems not correct. Yeah, more pics and more details of the settings can help to figure out.

Good call, I used only one (2 lamp) fixture as using 2 has seemed to wash them out real bad, so the shutter was a little slower and though he's a camera ham, he's still not one to swim still very long.
Settings that I know about...
Cannon sureshot s200 elph
ISO @ 50
Flower (macro?) on
no flash
Maybe with the reduced light it slowed the shutter down, enough that he (or I) wasn't still long enough for the "perfect" shot?

Perhaps you can try using an ISO of 100 instead. Will bring up your shutter speed by one notch.

I usualy use ISO of 400, since my oscar can't stop moving while i'm standing next to the tank [smilie=an9.gif]

I think I will try tonight to take a few shots, adjusting the ISO up a notch at a time, I tried the 400 setting last night, wanted to try the other extreme to see if I should be going from 50+ or from 400-, so far I like the results when set at 50, but almost never clear, the results at 400 were a bit grainy. Might not be the reason though so will try to do some more experimenting. Thanks for the ideas though!!

I do agreed with you on the ISO400 thingy. I tried it on my DC and was able to tell that there's a big difference.
