I just was curious mainly if you were saying you were snapping away flash flash flash and the fish turned belly up and died... that's what your original post sounded like to me.

Yes, removing the fish to a special tank just for photography and snapping bright lights in their faces while they are stuck in a small area they cant get away from, I can see how that could stress some of the more delicate fishes to the point of death. Of course, the moving the fish to a separate tank alone can do that, the flash doesnt necessarily have anything to do with it.

Anyway, I'm not saying you're wrong, but the way your original post sounded made it seem like you're outright killing fish with a flash and no one should take pictures of their new fish, which to me seems like poor advice and since people come here for photography advice... I just wanted to clarify what you meant.
