We had Sumer Tiwari at our club's last meeting talking about fish photography. He writes articles for Amazonas magazine and usually takes the pictures for his articles. He takes the fish out of their regular tank and puts them in a tank specifically for the pictures. He adds lights from the side and above in addition to the light on the camera. He uses a professional camera and takes tons of shots to get the right one for the article (he said about 500 usually). There are a lot of things that he looks for, and he showed us pictures that I thought were great but he pointed out issues with- so it is all relative to what you're trying to achieve, I guess.
He did say to focus on the eye ball- there were a lot of other tips too, but with all that prep etc. I didn't take a ton of notes because I use my phone camera and shoot in the tank they're in. He did say that for any pics he does just for himself or most of his social media he just uses his phone camera- it's just the magazine ones that have to be more pristine.
