4. Hungry (Dopefish looks to camera and opens mouth).
5. Congratulations! You are now an official Dopefish! (Dopefish burps)
Unfortunately, the images would be cut and pasted from a banner from another site, and my spriting skills aren't sufficient enough to do anything beyond cropping and scaling, so the words would've been REALLY tiny on the avatar. Sad, really.

You could try having the words in separate frames:
1. "How to be an official..."
2. "Swim"
3. (Dopefish swims right)
4. "Swim"
5. (left)
6. "Hungry"
7. (hungry Dopefish)
8. "Congratulations!..."
That would tend to increase the filesize, but assuming the parts showing the Dopefish aren't long animations or anything I think you could get away with it.
