Publisher's description of Marine Aquarium

From Prolific Publishing:

You've seen aquarium programs before, but you've never seen anything like this screensaver. The marine life is so vibrant you won't believe your eyes. These fish are actual 3D models, not flat images dragged across the screen. The fish bend, turn, and swim just like real fish.

This updated version includes the ability to use SereneScreen Marine Aquarium as a screensaver or as a standalone application, a new user interface, and five new fish for a total of 26. The unparalleled beauty continues.

Editor's review of Marine Aquarium

• 5.0 stars

• "Marine Aquarium"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Marine Aquarium 2.0

This screensaver shows the serene beauty of the underwater world. The installation is fast, and Marine Aquarium launches on your desktop in seconds. The screensaver has fish, coral, plants, and other underwater objects. The water sound is a great feature that makes you feel like you're looking at the underwater world from a bathyscaphe. Most of the screensaver settings are basic, such as sound volume and screen resolution, but you can also add fish from the list. The program turns out to be educational, since the entry for each fish lists its full name, Latin name, location, and other facts. Its realistic representation puts Marine Aquarium head and gills above its competitors.

  "5 stars for the new version!"

  by Chainmail2006 on August 12, 2007

  Pros: But where is it download.com? The newest release is "Marine Aquarium + Time 2.6" and I just can't figure out why download.com hasn't seen fit to offer the "windows Version" download. I guess I'm going to have to wait forever to see it here. None the less this version is good and works fine on "XP". But, if your going to invest in it, go to the home page and get "Marine Aquarium + Time 2.6" . It's the same price and with the money. It's very realistic and looks great!

  Cons: See pros!

  "Flashy and fun"

  by Foxhound4444 on December 11, 2005

  Pros: I love this screensaver. Brings a whole new feel to the way i idle my computer. With fish selection or randomization, you can easily customize your fish in your fish tank.

  Cons: Kind of spendy for a screensaver.

  "Superb"

  by rankle08 on September 11, 2006

  Pros: Photo-realistic, beautiful animation. I'm a cheap old tightwad who won't drop a cent on nearly anything I don't need. I just may break my habit...just this once.
