For start here are few photos of my Malaysian Trumpet Snails and Red Cherry Shrimps taken with iPhone 5s and Olloclip macro lens

Excellent photos! Especially with a phone, though their cameras get better and better. I have one of those macro lenses for mine as well (though its one of the very very early models without the bells and whistles and 4 lenses in one type of thing), but my main gripe is having to take the phone out of the case to use it. Still a very nice result though! Impressive actually.

Pece, really very nice. I have taken decent pictures with my phone in sunlight. Tank pictures are lacking. Any tips/tricks you care to share?

First for a good photo we need a good light, only aquarium light should be on and the light in the room should be turned off (the best would be to take photos at night so any shadows will be eliminated), and second, phone (or the camera) have to be hold perpendicular (at a right angle (90 degrees)) to the aquarium tank face.

Have you tried placing the phone directly on the glass. This avoids the bounce of the flash back into the lens (ie picture) and any reflections from the glass. It could prove challenging to properly frame your subject however.
