HummingBird Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Some of you may have seen this before, but I just discovered Dream Aquarium - it's an awesomely realistic virtual aquarium with tons of fish. The fish they have right now are: Dalmation Mollies, Swordtails, Black Widow Tetras, Harlequin Rasbora, Torpedo Barbs, Congo Tetras, Tiger Barbs, Cardinal Tetras, Zebra Danios, Bosemani and Crimson spot Rainbows, Blue Rams, Kribensis, Jewel Cichlids, Auratus cichlids, Electric Yellows, Demasoni, Chocolate, Pearl and Dwarf Gouramis, Archerfish, Killifish (looks like a blue lyretail to me), and a fiddler crab. You can download a trial version with some of the fish for free...I ended up buying the full version after I tried it just because of how well done it is. It's awesome to go back to your PC after being away and find a planted tank there instead I'm pretty obsessed with it, I think it's rekindled my MTS lol (I only have a mere three tanks right now...a record low since I started fish keeping!)

Southerrrngirrl Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yeah I downloaded the demo, it is pretty cool. I assume with the full version, you can set the background, and what fish you have, how many etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 screen savers are an interesting topic as are wallpapers dont mean to hijack but another tought for a screen saver is family photos I have a folder that has a couple of hundred photos of the family and have that as my saver. Often my wife (or any of us to be honest) will go in to the PC room and just take a few moments to look at these random photos and remind us of different times of our lives... cost nothing as well Wall papers are my favorite photo at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I assume with the full version, you can set the background, and what fish you have, how many etc? Yeah in the full version there're three tanks, plus you can use custom images as the background too. You can add pretty much an unlimited number of fish, too. The Dalmatian mollies are pretty cool because their spots are randomized, so no two are alike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummingBird Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 To access the settings press enter, there's plenty to mess around with. I've got it so that it only turns off with key presses, rather than mouse clicks. You can have it cycle through tons of tanks automatically as well, or just stay on one :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
