I did 'apt-get install free the fish' to see what the Ubuntu 'Wanda the Fish' Easter Egg looks like. I have now had enough of the fish and want it to stop, which I could do by logging in and out.

Unfortunately I have a few other things open right now and I don't want to do that. I tried ps -ef | more to see if I could identify the process, but I could not. Also the Google came up with no answers. Anyone have any ideas?

Press Alt + F2 then paste pkill gnome-panel and your panel will disappear and reappear but the fish will be gone.

You can also click on the fish. this will cause it to swim away to the nearest screen edge and disappear.
