You take some of the cleanest pics I've ever seen. It's like the camera is underwater or something.

I'll echo that, i suspect a Nikon SLR of some kind given your mention of the R1C1 flash unit in another thread. The R1C1 has been on my wish list ever since i got my macro lens although now that i have a SB-900 the cheaper R1 kit will do the trick.
As Mick will love to say, the camera is the cheep bit when it comes to an SLR setup.

lol,
hello again
@chefkeith
...or something
i acually have a underwaterhousing for underwater videography but i never tried yet as the resolution is not the max.
my cam is a Nikon D200 (got is since about 7months...) i use the 105/2.8AF-S VR Macro, a old 105/2.8 AF in combination with a double converter, also a 50mm/1.4 rear mounted on a PB6 from Nikon
Flashes SB23
R1 C1 (Nikon)
sometimes a tripod usually by hand
adjustments are made manually
for example
shuttertimes from 1/160-250
aperatures depending on the flash distance to the object...20up to 45 (NOT automatic TTL
)
i acually am surpriced about the sharpness of the bis ocellatus pic that's far the best on i got from them

Wonderful pictures.
The 3rd picture is enviable in particular.
I like G.ocellatus. However, the acquisition in Japan is difficult.
I was able to count 15 fries of Sewellia.
Thank you.

The pic with all the young
S. lineolata is beautiful.
