i've been working on this guy for a while... its based on traditional japanese tattoo's.   I cant decide on whether simply splash some water around him or place him into a traditional compostion... any idea's would be helpful. cheers.

I think that adding the water will look nice.  The blue will go well with the orange and gold.  I would suggest adding a highlight tone as well to make him shine and round him out a bit. :)

Wow, excellent detail! The twist of the tail seems odd, maybe you should put some creases in the fish's gills to indicate he's twisting.

yup very nice so far - add antialias, play with the palette.

I've just noticed this too, its not so much of the missing highlight tone thats flattening him, its the missing curve of his scales.  The scale lines should curve to give the body more depth. ;)
