That will be Mrs. Nanokat.
Why, thank you very much! It helps to have an awesome camera for doing macro shots and some gorgeous ricordeas to shoot. That one is amazing Rogger! I also found that "macro adapter" on the web...as I said I think you can use it in conjuction with your add on lens you got if the size of the threads fit.
Thanks for posting these pics...I'll have to save them.

Jeff this pics were taken with my old Nikon 995 coolpix P&S camera
Yes, they were taken with Rogger's Nikon Coolpix 995 which is an older camera. These cameras are well known for their macro ability. They were shot without any additional lenses on the camera too!
As far as lenses for the Rebel, I know that Canon makes some excellent macro versions. There are also add-on macro adapters that you can put on other lenses. Since I'm not too familiar with these, I can't make any specific recommendations. Your best bet might be to take your camera to a store that sells a variety of lenses for your camera and try them out. Try focusing on something that you think is the size and distance you would be shooting at in your tank and go from there.
And the ricordeas are beautiful...the photos are not retouched...that's exactly the coloration they have!

Just for fun, I thought I would throw in a few pictures my wife and I shot of Rogger's tanks.
Actually, Zigz...you should have a macro setting on your camera. In addition, there are add-on lenses available for many point-and-shoot cameras. Here's a link to a lens for the C-720, if that's what you have, on ebay:

If you have the new Stylus 720, you may be out of luck for the add on lenses, but again, most cameras do also have decent macro abilities on their own.
The two digital cameras I shoot primarily with are a Nikon with no extra lenses at all and a Fuji with a macro adapter and a 2x magnification lens.
