increase the amount of extended memory available. in particular,
remove any memory managers you have running--El-Fish doesn't need
or want them. use a clean boot disk or a separate config if you
have multiple configs set up on DOS 6.

El-Fish uses lots of memory for each fish. if you don't have enough
to display multiple fish at once it will cycle them--display some
and then, when they move off screen show others. of course, if only
one breed of fish is small enough to show at all, that is all you
will see.
