It happens to all kinds of fish; they just get surprised by the bright flash. I don't think your lighting is wrong type, but it would be a good idea to provide the fish with a smoother transition to the bright light, if that is the problem. Open up the blinds/curtains in their room to help them get adjusted, or at least make sure the room light has been on for ten minutes or so. That way, they'll have gone from no light to dim light, and will be ready for bright light. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
