Hi Boon Yong,
ok. Let me start by finding out more about your camera...
When the camera was launched in Jan 2002, it boast of the following features..
1. New 3rd Generation Super CCD sensor and advanced LSI algorithm (3.1 million effective pixels) producing class-leading 6.03 million recorded pixels (2,832 x 2,12
2. Full photographic control including full manual exposure, aperture & shutter priority, advanced focus and metering options
3. Ultra-high sensitivity of 160-1600 ISO
4. High speed shooting at up to 5 frames per second
5. Powerful built-in flash

So...
At maximum resolution, this is 6 MP camera that can produced an image that has a resolution of 2,832 X 2,128 pixel. That's pretty high!
Effectively, you can go up to ISO 400 if you want to use the above resolution.
In terms of metering, you can choose between 64-zone TTL, Spot (important) and Center-Weighted Average.
Optical zoom is 3 X, which should be sufficient to get some decent photos.
In normal mode, you can focus from 60 cm (2.0 ft) to Infinity. But in macro mode, you can focus from 20 cm - 80 cm (0.7 - 2.6 ft). Another important point.
As for white balance, you have the following options.. Auto, Fine, Shade, Fluorescent (Daylight, Warm White, Cool White) and Incandescent.

I believe you can get very good macro pictures to be used on the internet given what I can see from the specifications of the camera.
Before I proceed further, perhaps you can post 2 pictures, one which you are not happy with even though you thought you did everything right. And the other which you are satisfied with, though you wish it could be better.
From there, we will be able to help you get more out of your camera, and look as accessories to maximise your mileage if you do not wish to upgrade.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
