Mmm... the fish are all swimming around a certain point in a circle, with
their vertical tilt defined as a sine function of the angle that they're in
in that circle. I realized too late that the insides of the transparent
parts of the fish have an ior of 1, making some of the fish refractive. I'll
fix that if I do another version.

I'm not really too worried about the speed of the seaweed; it's really
unnoticeable given all the media and photons. I doubt it makes any more than
a half-hour difference out of the 40 or so hour render.

If I do another version, I'll consider fixing the bubbles for everyone =)
