Publisher's Description
From Useless Creations:
Watch as your monitor fills with water and real 3D fish begin to swim around the screen you were just working on!
Features Include:
- Real time 3D fish that don't just swim back and forth, but towards you and away from you, up and down. Like real fish!
- Uses realistic 3D fish models, not just flat 2D images like other screen savers do!
- Dymanic underwater lighting. So if the surface of the water ripples, so does the refracted light!
- Download additional fish with ease! The registered version lets you download fish right into the screen saver from the Settings screen on the Mac OS X version, and from the website for Windows. It couldn't be easier!
- You can select the background you want! From your wallpaper or a random image (jpg, png or gif files), as well as the option to capture the current screen.
- Select between warm and cold, salt water fish, and fresh water fish, or mix them all together! Remember virtual fish can all survive in the same virtual water!
- The fish's eyes move, so they now look around as they swim across your screen.
- Background Hum/Bubbling sound for that real aquarium atmosphere.
- Many options so you can customize it to your liking. With the full version, you can have as many as 40 fish swimming around at once, as long as your CPU can handle it!
- New in v1.2.5 (Mac) - Motion Sensor Tilting! If you have a laptop with a sudden motion sensor you can tilt it side to side and the water level will stay parallel to the ground!
- Feedback is always welcome! If this isn't the best 3D aquarium there is, then let us know how you think it can be improved.
- There are now 20+ different fish species available for the full version!
What's new in this version: Fixes problems with the volume control and tilting features.

"Very Realistic"

"Beautiful screen saver, looks like real fish."
Version: 3D Desktop Aquarium Screen Saver 1.8
Pros
The fish look very real, and what's on your desktop stays visible in back. The screen seems to 'fill' with water and has sounds and light reflections. I used a picture of a coral reef for the desktop picture, and it's a beautiful,watery effect.
Cons
None. Well done!
Summary
I think this is one of the most underrated products I've seen. The fish turn and swim towards and away from you very realistically. You can add all kinds of fish for free, also. It's absolutely hypnotic and for $12, it will have many aquarium fans thinking twice next time an expensive marine fish dies and gets a $$$ swirly.
