Check that camera model again for me. I'm not familiar with that model. I could name 3 or 4 models that it could be by changing one digit of that model name.
It sounds like a focus issue though. Likely the camera is focussing on the glass rather than what is behind it. There are a few tricks I can recommend on how to get the camera to focus on what you want.

Sorry for the hijack, but I cannot decent pics with my Sony DSC-V3 either. 7.2MP should be AWESOME pics. Pics aren't at all bad from further away, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to take a decent Macro.

Pretty tough to take a macro shot of some of the stuff, but with 7.2mp, you can take a larger frame and crop to a very nice macro of most stuff in an aquarium. In other words, don't stress about pressing the lens through the glass to get closer.

Make sure you have the macro setting on and as was stated you can magnify & crop with great results. Thats what I do because I only have a little pocket camera. In fact my POTM & FTOTM pictures were almost all taken with my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100 (8.1 MP). Someday I'll get a real camera with a real macro lense but for now this does the trick.

Yes, good advice. Set the camera to macro...but take advantage of your megapixels to crop extensively. Remember that you only need less than 1MP to post a really nice looking image online. That could be only 1/7 of your image area if you have a 7MP camera.
If you want to print, that's another story. But the resolution of most monitors is not even 1MP.
