I am working on Project Fishtank in "Intro to JS: Drawing & Animations". I am having problems getting past steps 2 and 3 (calling functions). I am not able to move the fish around because all my fish end up on top of each other in the same location instead of being spread out in different locations. Here is what I have so far:

background(89, 216, 255);

var centerX = 200;
var centerY = 100;
var bodyLength = 118;
var bodyHeight = 74;
var bodyColor = color(162, 0, 255);

noStroke();
fill(bodyColor);
// body
ellipse(centerX, centerY, bodyLength, bodyHeight);
// tail
var tailWidth = bodyLength/4;
var tailHeight = bodyHeight/2;
triangle(centerX-bodyLength/2, centerY,
centerX-bodyLength/2-tailWidth, centerY-tailHeight,
centerX-bodyLength/2-tailWidth, centerY+tailHeight);
// eye
fill(33, 33, 33);
ellipse(centerX+bodyLength/4, centerY, bodyHeight/5, bodyHeight/5);

You have to change centerX and centerY either by a loop or with help of centerX / centerY = random(50, 350) by example.

Thanks! I tried that but it still is not working. Do you have any more tips or suggestions. Do you know if there is any other way to get assistance on Khan Academy?

Here is exactly what I did for the "random" requirement:

var centerX= random(50, 350);
var centerY = random(50, 350);

When I do this, the fish all appear on top of each other in the same location so it looks like there is only one fish even though we tried drawing 3-4 fish

Make sure that you don't have the background call inside your drawFish function which would clear the screen of everything else... just evaluated a year old project with that issue (and yes, I failed them for it lol, if they still care it's an easy fix if they don't then it doesn't matter).
