.SH NAME
xfishtank \- Fish swimming across your Root Window
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xfishtank
[\-c <color>] [\-b <limit>] [\-f <limit>] [\-i <mult>] [\-r <rate>] [\-m <num>]
[\-C <num>] [\-d] [\-p <file>] [host:display]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
xfishtank is a animation program to simulate an Aquarium on your X desktop.
.LP
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.
