Glo-tetras

One of the more challenging subjects for me are aquariums. Fish move a lot, so a low shutter speed desn't work, and too shallow of a DoF makes things difficult as well. This shot was handheld at 1/1000 and f/3.5. In spite of the bright lights, the image still came out dark with an ISO of 6400. This was taken with the Sony RX10M4. I'll try another one with my Canon 90D with an f/2.8 17-50mm Sigma lens, but I think f/2.8 will be too shallow given how the fish move in the tank. Any tips on getting a sharper image of this constantly in motion little guys?

When i visited the aquarium a couple weeks ago i kept the speed no higher than 1/250 on many of the shots and that seemed to be okay. Now i had a F1.8 lens so that helped immensely as well.
