My system is a 386/25 w/'387 and 4 Meg Ram.  A couple of weeks ago I posted a
note asking for help configuring memory for El-Fish. I was experiencing the
same problems as you. Since that time I have upgraded to Dos-6.0 and use a
multiple config, one for el-fish and one for everything else. Elfish config
does not load EMM386, nor SmartDrv, nor Himem. Essentially reproducing the
recomended config from the manual. El-fish now works great and gives me lots of
fish.  In fact, it works a little better than I expected. The manual says that
there will only be 8 animated objects on the screen at any one time. There have
been times when I have counted nine. Typically with schools of fish; I'll
usually include between 4-6 of a small fish plus a number of others in either
1's or 2's. There have been times when the school of 6 is on screen with a
couple of other pairs or a few singletons. Maybe schools only count as one?
