4About it

A school is a big group of fish swimming together, all turning at once. Each fish keeps pace with its neighbors by watching them and by feeling the water move along a line of special sense organs down its sides. Being one of many makes it much harder for a hunter to pick out any single fish.

These 48 fish each swim on their own. Tap it and the school tightens into a spinning bait ball, the shape small fish make when a hunter comes near, then bursts outward in every direction and swims back into place. Pick silver or tropical fish in the Splash tab.
