How do you make these cheerful fish?

Make a 2.5 cm ball of clay for a 5.5 cm fish.
Make a 4.5 cm roll of the 2.5 cm ball.
Flatten the end of this and cut or cut 1 cm in the middle.
Bend the ends up and down.
Flatten the gills as shown, they will grow to about 1.8 cm.
At the bottom of the head are also protrusions of 0.5 cm.
Prick the eyes with an embossing pen or cocktail stick and draw the eye lines and the beak.
First color the fish yellow and put orange on top and against it.
Put the fish on sticks with a little glue, paint the sticks dark green first, and place them in sand or soil like here in this plant vase.
(The vase pictured is very large, you can always opt for smaller models.
Put Inka Gold or a gold paint on the belly of the fish for a shine effect like scales.
Finish with a gloss varnish if necessary.
