Identical kindergarten with fish glittering (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twinkling

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'glittering' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'identical kindergarten with fish' is the wordplay.
'identical kindergarten' becomes 'twink' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'fish' becomes 'ling' (ling is a kind of fish).
'twink'+'ling'='TWINKLING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for twinkling that I've seen before include "Sparkling like a star" , "Shining intermittently" , "Sparkling - moment" , "Instant" , "How stars appear" .)
