Janci,
In my opinion the biggest problem shooting fishes isn't the lens, is the exposure time.
Anything slower than 1/100 will give some blur.
Try to raise the ISO and the aperture size to keep the exposure time around 1/100.
The 18~55 ins't a good lens...Its luminosity is very poor and I only managed to get 5,6 of aperture at 55mm of focal lenght.
I don't know the 100mm Macro very well but if it can give you a little more aperture (around f4,0 or f2,8) , indeed it's a better call.
About the focus, the 18~55mm that I have is the regular one, so the focus isn't the USM.
Any Canon lens with USM resource will give you a faster focus.
Regards,
Alex
