well, if you think about it, fishes eyes arent as complex as human eyes, so it wont be damaged as easily. so i guess a burst wont do much harm

Lasers will not kill your fish, I've seen people use them to play with their fish because they will chase the dot. Of course with anything its not good to shine a laser in your eye or anyone else's.

I don't see that that follows at all. A fish can't close it's eyes and has very little if any aperture control therefore a mammalian eye is far better equipped to protect itself then a simpler fish eye.

I certainly wouldn't shine a laser near my fish.

well, im saying that a laser beamed into a human eye will cause more damage to the eye than a fish eye. think of if this way, if you have a really precise bearing, and you go over a bump with it, it will lose alot of percision. if you have a normal bearing and you go over a bump with it, you wont lose as much precision.
