Stuff the fishy's body. I like it not too full so I can flatten him a bit.
Rnd 24: sc in next 6sc (36 sts) (This is only if you're working with 2 colors! This will pinpoint the folding point for the tail, so that the color changes will be on the bottom of the fishy)
Rnd 25: hold the tail together and stitch the two sides together with slip stitch untill the middle of tail. Put in the last stuffing in the tail and slip stitch closed. Fasten off and weave in ends. Sew on eyes and enjoy your fishy!
