I doubt that the flash harms them. To avoid reflections, shoot at an angle.

I have axolotls an i want to know a good way of taking shots of them in the water most come out pretty blurry i have a sony cybershot 4.1megapixel camera

i have the same camera

Make sure you use the Macro setting (will be a little flower symbol) this will ensure close up shots are focussed. Most cameras have it, I have a 6 megapixel cybershot and it works great.

you can also push your camera against the glass to avoid reflections. Don't know if that would work with a flash though, I never use a flash.

I use focus on my camara, not sure what type, and when i use it right it gives some excellent shots!!

hello, maybe this isn't the perfect forum to ask this but.. I have a few pictures of my newt and I want to have it as the picture next to my name here when I post. But my pictures are to big! and when I'm trying to make them smaller, they're just getting blurry!.. some help?

In Microsoft Paint you can stretch or shrink a picture. Go to Image->stretch/skew and you can reduce a picture to 50% or 10% or whatever. Wouldn't recommend paint for anything more complicated than that.
