OMG!
I just tried this. I set on manual. I set the ISO low, the aperture max F8.0, the shutter speed 1/500, and set the flash at 3/4 of the full flash, this is a handheld shot of some fast moving hungry 2 month old A. ocellaris:
This is SO much better than I have previously gotten! THANK YOU!!!!

it is a wonderful shot my friend!
.. now try to systematically toggle just a single setting (while in manual) in given circumstances over time to that you can really learn to fully utilize your cameras capabilities and finesse each one better in time.
Usually you will want to leave the ISO slow (low) and tend to work within a predictable range of shutter speeds (1/60 to 1/250 for many aquarium shots... or a bit faster like yours here for quick subjects/fishies... presuming you have enough light)
That leaves AP for you to experiment with pending available light, depth of field and artistic preferences.
Best of luck

Fantastic, Kathy! That new camera seems to suit you!
I know you said that you weren't able to get an off-camera flash yet, but that would really help with the glare like on the left side of the photo.
I especially like the little one bottom and center who's looking straight up at the camera!

There are a few more things I need to work on to get the best fishy shots. Color for one. These fish are more bright than shows on the above photo. What I am loving is the fin rays and fish scales that show up in this photo, that previously were just a blur. Actually, they original looks better than what the posting is showing.
Thanks Anthony and Umm...fish. I look forward to playing with this some more.
