RULES:
Place the digits 1-5 or a fish in each cell such that no element repeats in a row, column, or box.
Fish: The sum of digits pointed at by the head of a fish equal the sum of the digits pointed at by the tail of the fish. Given fish have an orientation and deduced fish must be oriented such that the head and the tail point in opposite directions and face cardinally or diagonally.
Solution code: The sum of all digits that are faced by the head or tail of at least one fish

What a lovely homage, from the constraint, to the graphics, to the beautiful logic! Well done, I'll have to try out the 8x8 later!

You have so successfully captured his essence in this puzzle that when Scojo's imposter prompt rolls around again, you'll be my number one suspect.

Lovely ruleset and execution, which really felt like a perfect gift for Juggler. This very much felt like something he'd make
