Hi Unregistered.
What are your settings? MA by default runs flat out, which means as fast as it can, which will indeed call on your fan. Exactly what settings are required to keep the fan from coming on are dependent on the ambient temperature, what sort of other things you have happening on your computer, etc.
1. Limit the frame rate. 30 fps is usually sufficiently smooth, so start there and adjust up to increase smoothness or down to decrease heat.
2. Turn down the shimmer setting. It effects are pretty subtle, so you can even turn it off if you are having trouble getting the fan to stay off.
3. Reduce the number of fish at any one time.
4. Turn off the bubbles and/or bubble sound
On a 17" Powerbook it should be enough to limit the frame rate.
