NAME
     xfishtank - Fish swimming across your Root Window

SYNOPSIS
     xfishtank	[-c  <color>]  [-b <limit>] [-f <limit>] [-i <mult>] [-r <rate>]
     [-m <num>] [-C <num>] [-d] [-p <file>] [host:display]

DESCRIPTION
     xfishtank is a animation program to simulate an Aquarium on your X desktop.

     Each fish can have up to 255 colors, but on startup the program  takes  all
     the  colors  from	all the fish, and squeezes them down to all fit into the
     default colormap as best it can.  Any fish can be any  size  in  width  and
     height.   To  make them look more like they are swimming, fish are animated
     (Very simple 2 frame animation). Fish CANNOT swim	over  each  other,  they
     will turn around if they are about to collide.
