shoot maual mode, play around with shutter speed and aperture till you get results you like, if you have any extra doe, invest in a overhead flash for fish pics.

try to stick with the current nikon models they are optimized for DSLR's, sb-600 would be best for most needs.

shutter usally around 1/30 s, aperture ranges from f/9-f/13 for fish pics, but it depends of how much light you shoot with.

$150-180, but it's the option i'd go with in your situation. i don't have any experience with third party flashes.
