Reflection when taking photos of tank

Hey bros, got a Nikon D40 DSLR. But cant take good shots of my aro because always got reflection as my tank is outside my house. So got reflection. Do any of you bros use polarizing filters to solve this prob? Any brand to recommend? (if possible add price) Thx

stand a bit further back
wear black tee
up your iso

like what bro slooooow hav mention.

i use a point and shoot old sony camera. and by using that method i can get relatively decent photo

something like

wa, like that is very very good photo liao

the smaller the fish, the harder to shoot. cos small fishes move very fast around a small area.

very good photos of the betta!!

I took my photo at night, day time too many reflection.

Hoya polarizer is the cheapest at around $30-$40. Shoot with ample lights, bounce your flash off the celling instead of flashing it directly at the tank. Should help

Thx bros, my tank outdoors btw. But thx all of u guys for ur help.

I won't go for that polarizing filter.

Instead, you need to shoot with remote flash(s) placed above the tank and try shooting at nite when the surrounding is dim.

I dun use polarizing filters. Maybe you can try to get a 50mm f1.8 lens and shoot at ISO500? i think the shutter speed should be fast enough to capture.
