Sony Cybershot. I have a few features that I can change. Any ideas on what to what to get a good picture.

Exposure:....-2--> +2 (Default 0)
White Balance: Indoor, Outdoor, Auto, Hold
Sharpness: -2,-1,0,+1+,2 (default 0)

Also leave lights of in the room?

It depends on the picture you're trying to take.

Exposure adjustments help to adjust for too much or too little light. If your pics are coming out too bright, reduce it and vice versa.

White balance helps to adjust for different types of light. I use a fluorescent preset that works well, but you may have to play around to find one that works well.

I'm not sure what the sharpness is adjusting, play with it and find out.

It helps to have the lights off in the room so that you don't get reflection in the tank. Also, if yo don't have one, get a tripod. It helps a lot.

So it looks like play around to see what works. Huh!

Pretty much. I take about 10-20 bad pics for every good one.
