nice. One thing though. I have found that a bushy tail dampens the darting.

Ya know, it's definitely beautiful, but one thing kinda bothers me. Blue and white is a great color combo, but in nature, fish use something called counter-shading to protect themselves from predators. Dark on top, so that they'll blend in with the bottom when viewed from above. Light underneath, so that they match the sky when viewed from below. Contrast doesn't necessarily hurt, but predatory fish sometimes are turned off by things that don't seem natural. It might work well, maybe it's just me, but I'd do one of two things with it. I'd either re-paint it or give it to the guy who is in the picture on one post with the upside-down reel. It'd match his outfit beautifully.
