Just want to chime in to say that many DSLRs can work well - and most of the big brands have decent offerings within the same price range, and the outcomes are similar with most of the choice being which system you prefer to work with. A polarising lens is also useful in many scenarios.
The troublesome part, which will likely take more study time than the time taken to select a camera/lens, is finding the settings that work well for your particular aquarium. Modern aquarium lights enhance colors but also cause color aberrations that may take some tuning. Certain lens have maximum sharpness at a certain distance/aperture size. Sharpness/shadows/highlights, color, these can take quite a bit of time to study and tune. Many of these settings will be unique to your tank's light environment. It makes a huge impact on outcomes and there are not a lot of guides out there specific to aquarium photography.
On the aquarium side, certain subject manner will look better under different light direction or backgrounds. It took me nearly half a year to produce the type of photos that I was satisfied with, but I wasn't an expert on digital photograph to start with.
These were shot with Fujifilm XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro Lens
