Bill, its a darn good lens. you will enjoy it. btw this lens has a sweet spot around f/8 to f/13 which is reasonably good for fishes about an inch or two.

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

lens on a few sites, quite stunning sharpness! And the best bokeh there is...

After going through this thread I have to agree that the setup is what makes the photograph. I usually set up my tripod in front of my tank and wait for some photos, or I will make a smaller "photograph" setup where I make it so the fish in that particular tank can only go into a certain area and let them calm down to get their normal colors back. This works when I just want to show the male of any of my killies, that and it hides the rest of my tank.
I currently use the Canon EOS 20D with a flash attached to my hotshoe, I have a reflector above the tank and have my flash bounce off of that and back onto the fish in the tank so I can get a head on shot with a flash, what I can say it is much easier to take photographs of models then it is of fish, they just dont seem to do what you want no matter how much you plead or offer up some tasty treat.
