step16
plug an Anim node into the scene node

 


step17
click on the Anim node in the scene tree to open the Anim bar. When the Anim bar is open, key frames will be captured automatically when we pose the perch.
To pose the perch for the key frames we will want a bird's eye or worm's eye view and be in wireframe mode.
 


step18
To pose a bone for a key frame, click the bone in the scene tree and drag the bone's orientation control point.
Do this for bones 1 to 9 (I did not change bone0)

 
step19
To create the second key frame, drag the slider to the middle of the time line (when .5 is displayed) and pose the fish to the opposite phase.

 
step20
So that the last frame ends exactly the same as the first, drag the slider back to the first frame and copy the frame
 


step21
Drag the slider to the last frame and paste in the frame.
To animate click the play button.
The animation can be toggled to loop using the loop/play once button.
