New to macros, new to photography.

Wow, those are very nice and sharp for your first time. I still have not managed to get shots like that. Can I ask what setup you'd re using

 

[goldfin]

Bought a used Canon Eos 350d and a used Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens.

Very nice shots.
Looks like you nailed focus, Exposure and lighting.
Time to play around with composition, placing your subject following the rule of thirds, including an active element (fish or other) to add dynamics to the pics. Maybe shifting your composition so that your Shallow DOF (which isn't any bad in those shots) really isolates your subject.

Good suggestions. I have a hard time getting the fish in focus with the narrow depth of field that renders the level of detail I like.
