i love my jawfish..
Looks good! Some of them are really washed out, so I'd try reducing your exposure a bit if it looks too bright. You may also want to look into software for post processing and then you can tweak the white balance afterwards on raw images. IME, that makes a world of difference because I could never get the WB quite right.
How long have you had your pearly jawfish?
For your first shots, these are great!!
The Frogspawn and anemone shots are a bit blurry, but I would venture a guess that's because you were shooting at an angle. This causes more distortion, through the glass, so try to shoot perpendicular to the glass, whenever possible.
From looking at some of your EXIF data, it appears you're shooting in Auto mode. For instance, in the photo taken from the end of the tank, the camera is bumping your ISO up to 3200, which is WAY too high. Shutter speed is set at 200 and Aperture is set at F5.
The problem you'll run into is that your probably shooting with a "kit lens," which will be horribly "slow," meaning they aren't as good, for lower light conditions. Your camera is automatically compensating for this, by boosting your ISO. However, it's boosting it way too much.
Shoot in Manual mode. Set your ISO at about 600, to start. Shutter speed at about 100 and aperture at F4. See how that looks. If it's too dark, lower your shutter speed to 80. Still too dark? Can you shoot at a slower shutter speed and keep "camera shake" from interfering? If so, lower your shutter speed even more, to 60. At this point, moving fish may become blurry.
