how do you black out your fish pic backgrounds

Dunno about a cheaper option. I know with my point and shoot camera is difficult to take pics of my fish because they are constantly moving. I don't get the sharp, crisp image that a good camera would give me. I know there are a lot of SLR cams on the market ranging from $500 to thousands of dollars.So a lot of research as what you need in the cam, lense, options of the wireless flash are in tow before you can find what you need at a price you can afford.
As for point and shoot cameras, Take pictures with the flash, but cover the flash. It will give you the quick shutter speed needed to capture the fish. As for lighting, use a spot light for a turtle tank and wait for the fish to swim under it.

Getting the camera is just half way there
. You need to play around with Manual function like depth of field, so it will focus on close object and black out the background. It is one time investment so you should get it instead of replacing your point and shoot every few year.
You do not need a dslr to use overhead flash and you do not need overhead flash to get a blacked out background.
I'll let you guys figure out the details. I couldn't be bothered.

the nikon D90 is a nice cam and the the toys with it are cool , but thats way more then i wanna pay would rather spend it on a bigger tank
