Before modelling it, I went to a fish shop, and it seems most have
a bigger backbone fin than pectoral one, though the reverse also
exists.  The variety amongst fishes is enormous, and whatever you
model, there's a chance it actually exists !

"My" fish isn't modelled after a goldfish, nor any particular fish,
and the fins are made with a bunch of little splines controlled
by 3 splines (which was a headache to create, because of spline-related
problems within POV-Ray).
