Maybe you can try ISO 200 and buy you faster shutter speed, if you meant those failures were due to the movement. I think 717 still controls the noise well at ISO 200. Btw, the color tone got a bit of greenish hue. You might try different whitebalance, or can do the adjustment with photoshop.

thanks - will try the faster shutter speed next time

Btw, the 2nd photo is my favorite, though the DOF is a bit too shallow, otherwise it could be a really great shot. I really like the poses of both fishes.
