What is the best way to take photos of your axies? I tried the "flower" option with my digital camera.. but it focuses funny. And my albino, Asher, always looks kinda golden

Any tips much appreciated.. I'm obsessively taking photos just in case I get a good one to show around

The "flower" option is actually a "macro" setting. Which, if you're getting a close up, is usually the best way to go. Be aware that it can slow down the shutter speed though, so you'll need to steady the camera more.
But other things to consider - the lighting - will the flash ruin the shot? what other tank lighting is there.
I use a little tripod to make sure the camera is steady.
What zoom are you using? would it be better to move the camera closer and zoom less?
There's a lot of trial and error involved in working out what works best with your camera. (what camera is it?) Fortunately, because its digital, you can just keep trying without wasting film!

And a last tip - if you're taking shots of the whole tank, do it in a darkened room with the tank lights on, and no flash.

A good option is to take your axolotl outside (in a tank of course) and try taking pictures of it that way. your camera is like my camera and focuses better outside.
