i started taking pics of my fish and the camera had a really bright flash.i turned it off just in case. i was wondering if it hurt the fish since zoo/aquariums say no flash photography. so does it matter if a camera has a really bright flash?
flash. killer? stunner?

Might scare the fish a little, but otherwise no adverse affects.
On a diff. note, flash reflects against the glass and is bad for pics.

thanks i have a bad pic cause the flash was on and the tank had streaks on the glass it wasnt pretty. i cleaned it though
You can use a flash as long as you angle the camera up or down toward the glass, so that its not reflected right back into the lens and the pics should come out halfway decent. Some of the best shots I've seen were used with an overhead flash.
Edit : Oh yeah, the flash will definitely bring out any imperfections in your glass. Water streaks, algae, scratches.

Here's a question for those that might know. I have a flash that can be operated remotely from the camera, what if I shot the flash in from the side of the tank while photographing from the front? Think that would produce decent results...
(By the way, I can't test it at the moment, my camera is off being repaired)

Put the flash above the tank (with glass tops or lid off). From what I gather, that's how they do the classic arowana style photography.
