Very nice, Joan! I especially like the 9 line mermaids in your sig.
(Those are mighty big fish in the six line mermaid pictures!)

This is indeed a challenge! I tried altering the mermaids that I had
already done. (I wonder if you could do something the same, Joan with
your 9 liners?)

I came up with this seven line mermaid while trying for the six lines:

        ,-,-
        ))) \
       ((((,__
     _/ ) (/  \~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~

original eleven line mermaid:

            ((
           __)),
           \()}
           `((-.
            )))`\

and original eight line mermaid:
