Good picture.  I've never tried shooting in an aquarium.  Did you find it hard to get images?

I tried cropping some, adjusted the color a bit, increased contrast and sharpened.

I like the way the lower fish is looking at you while the other is turning away.  That adds some movement to the image for me.

Apart from the fact fish can swim pretty fast, its fairly easy to do. I remember when it was a rarity for the walk through aquariums. now everywhere you go seems to have them.
Obviously no flash, i found the polarising filter made a difference and you will always get the green tinge to the photo, but you've done a good job to remove it thanks.

Fixing the green tint is pretty easy.  PSE has a nice tool that usually works (Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Remove Color Cast).  You just click on a spot in the frame that should be black, white or grey.  The entire frame is tweaked so that there is no 'color' at that spot.  Sometimes you have to click a few places to find the best.

These are a couple of nice bannerfish, seeing them in the wild here in Malaysia most days :) Will lookup the latin name for you!
