These are from 
<URL:http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/mno/mermaid.txt>.
The first and last ones have been very slightly diddled. There are lot 
more (bigger) mermaids in that file.

It's a shame you're limited to 5 lines max. Here's one I think is really
great (from the same file):

Just to be clear, when I said last one, I meant this one:

... and not the big mermaid.

> I need a small Mermaid about 3/4 or 5 max lines long

Here is a four line one I found from the ascii art index:
<URL:http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/>

    <\\__  W<
     < \
    ./`. ~-__ /|
        ~---~~\|

Here is a 6 liner from the same place:

               \}}/  '
        ~       ()  '   _/}  ,
           ~   /oo\    <')_><{
                /\      `    `
                \/    ~
        jgs     /\          ~

Here we have some from my mind:

Four lines:
                 .
                {\\_    :F_P:
               \/.`-.
                 `-._===<|

Four lines:

           {)    :F_P:
          /oo\
           \\_./
            ```\

This was supposed to be a mermaid but turned
into what /might/ be a mermaid going under water.

Six lines:           Four lines and better:

       .    -..
 :F_P:   `- _..\\     :F_P:     _..--.\\\
         .-' _.. )            .-' _.. )//
 |\__..-'_.-'  //     |\__..-'_.-'  //''
 /.----'' _' -''      /.----''    -''
 '       '

Seven line diddle of the above:
                          ..
                :F_P:  _.._\\.
                   .-''_.. ) }
                  |`\-'_. \\'
                  `-.`' /  \\
                     `-.`.  `
                        `'

A six line merphalanx:

  () W () W () W () W () W () W () W () W () W () W () W () W () W () W
 /||\|/oo\|/||\|/oo\|/||\|/oo\|/||\|/oo\|/||\|/oo\|/||\|/oo\|/||\|/oo\|
  /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`| /\`|
  \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ | \/ |

 :F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P::F_P:

Some stuff boardering on seals or coats of arms.

Four lines
        W  {)            (}  W
         \/OO\          /OO\/
          \\\_./:F_P:\._// /
           \```\     /''' /

Five lines
              _______.
        W  {)   \()/ ` (}  W
         \/OO\   ||   /OO\/
          \\\_./ <> \._///
           \```\ /\ /'''/ :F_P:

Five lines:
