Either video, or seriously ramp up your shutter speed. You could also take a distance shot of the entire tank and zoom/crop the photo to show what you're looking for.
Some people I've heard "shock" the fish via lighting, it almost stuns them in place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very fast shutter (somewhere in the range 1/200s), aperture to your taste of depth of field and flash! Yes use FLASH for that black background with just the fish (having black background helps too
 ).

The flash is just such a quick burst of light that it freezes the action when taking the photo. It's the same as using a quick shutter speed

Most fish will frequent certain areas due to the whole territorial thing, so setup your camera on a tripod and pick a specific area for each individual fish. Then if you have burst mode or multiply frame setting pre-focus and lock your focus until your fish swims into that specific area and simply release the shutter to shoot multiple frames which might or might not result in a great image, for every 40-50 fish images i get one or two keepers-thank goodness for digital cameras!!!
 Adding some food before hand is also a trick i use, it slows them down a little not to mention it keeps them smiling
