I am a fish
Remove my first, and I might be a thief
Remove my second, and you will divide
Remove my third, and you will see much pain
Remove my fourth, and I am measured by metres
Remove my fifth, and nothing is left
Remove my fifth, and you see what I do
Remove my fourth, and you have space to think
Remove my third, and I will sound infantile
Remove my second, and things fall
Remove my first, and nothing is left
What am I?

Remove my second, and you will divide

Remove my third, and you will see much pain
