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.
