  34 .SH DESCRIPTION
  35 .LP
  36 xfishtank is a animation program to simulate an Aquarium on your X desktop.
  37 .LP
  38 Each fish can have up to 255 colors, but on startup the program
  39 takes all the colors from all the fish, and squeezes them down to all fit
  40 into the default colormap as best it can.  Any fish can be any size in
  41 width and height.  To make them look more like they are swimming, fish are
  42 animated (Very simple 2 frame animation). Fish CANNOT swim over each other, they
  43 will turn around if they are about to collide.
