Move the match that forms the upper left part of the left facing fish's body to the lower right corner, completing the new diamond. Move the match that made the upper fin of the old fish to the bottom of the new diamond, oriented the same way, making a new lower fin. Finally, move the match that was the upper tail on the old fish (keeping its orientation) to the back of the new diamond, forming a new lower tail.
