Sparkling and multicolored, they swim around and around, showing off. And then there's Terry.

So with the help of his friends, Terry fashions a flashy, dazzling costume and transforms into <i>Tropical </i>Terry. But life as the center of attention isn't quite everything Terry dreamed it would be -- especially once Eddie the Eel shows up, hungry for dinner.
