Fish swimming inside water, thanks to a func_fish_pool entity.

func_fish_pool is a point entity available in all Source games. It creates a school of interactive fish that swim near this entity.

Bug:Killing the func_fish_pool does not delete the fish, the fish entity can be killed as a workaround.  [todo tested in ?]

Warning:Killing the fish entity before killing the func_fish_pool entity crashes the game, the func_fish_pool entity must be killed first.

Risk of Confusion:This is a point entity despite the name starting with func_ (which is usually used for brush entities).

Bug:Fish spawned by this entity can cause lighting issues, where all dynamic props (including doors and viewmodels) appear to flicker dark.
This has been observed in Left 4 Dead 2 where a total of 120 fish had been spawned. Adding $donotcastshadows did not help.  [todo tested in ?]
