Fish?
Wow, that's just awesome. I keep going back and forth between wanting a 100mm f/2.8 or a 70-200mm f/4.
I've just recently seen the 100-300mm f/4.5 (by canon). Will this shoot sharp macros aswell as telephoto? The only negative that I see is that macro shots would have a bigger DOF which may not be asthetically appealing.
Do you have any thoughts?

Wow, how loaded is that question??? :lolspin:
So this is my opinion, and please take it as that. I will never say a specific lens won't work. Adding combinations of extension tubes or teleconverters can produce some amazing results. But if you want to get good results using a lens that's somewhat designed for what you want to do is what will give the best results consistently.While the 100-300 may say it's a macre, it probably doesn't capture at 1 to 1 magnification. Not to say you couldn't crop a pic and make it look good, but you could do the same with the 100mm macro, that does shoot at 1 to 1 magnification, and have more to work with.
What I'm trying to say is, there are lenses made to do specific things. They will do it better and more consistently than ones that try to do a lot of things. I do know if you really want to do aquarium photography and do it well, even if you get the 100 -300, you'll end up getting the 100 later.
