When reaching the top of the cave, the fish will be dropping to a fishbowl which has a fixed amount of water.
The fish will need to throw out those collected stones in order to higher the water line until the fish will be able to flow to the next fish bowl (level).

The fish can shorten the invisible time by shooting the collected stones to attack the squid.
