The basic rule is use as low an ISO setting as possible because you will get smoother richer colours.
The upshot is that most point/shooters can only take high quality aquarium pictures with very bright aquarium lighting and have a lot of trouble in low light situations light actinic-only shots.

Thanks alot for your help. In your opinion does the white blance need adjusting as well or is this something I will need to figure out with a tripod and multiple shots of the same scene using different levels?
