I use a 300mm to get in close and a wideangle to get tank shots. with a 300 you can get shots that look like you were "in" the tank

sorry for being an idoit... but what is a 300mm....

Believe it or not the magnifying glass does work a whole lot better for me.
My camera is really really odd, and the magnifying glass helps it take clearer pictures.
I just can't zoom all that close with good quality, so the magnifying glass makes everything bigger and the camera can take a pic through that. If the fish don't move it can come out perfect

When your cichlids are close hold the magnifying glass an inch or two from the front panel of glass. Then hold the camera a few inches away from the magnifying glass, then with the aqaurium's lights on, and camera flash off take a picture.
That works pretty good for getting some good ones.

Hunter I dont need a magnifying glass, my picture would still stink even with one.
