At first glance, it's not obvious what separates this screensaver from the variety of others that temporarily turn computers into digital aquariums. Graphics and sound are good, but not eyebrow-raising. Spend a few moments with the program and the differences quickly become obvious, however.

There is a level of interactivity here that few rivals offer: the fish can be touched, prompting the animals to shy away and try to avoid contact. The animals can be fed, enticing them back. The program is highly customizable, allowing users to choose fish species and set quantities, sounds, colors, and a number of other parameters. If you're a fish lover, but have become bored with run-of-the-mill aquarium screensavers, this program may spark your interest anew.

I've tried few of the porpular product, this one is good if u dont want to spend money on something new for your screensaver.safe product, no spyware,no ad-ware.and best of all,no irritating pop out.as in my summary, REAL.u'll nitice that when u feed the fish.in reality,thats what happen,once u put food into the tank, all the fish will swim towards the food.and thats what happen in this product.another thing, u can even set it as desktop.maybe by getting it register, it will be even better.considering....
Cons
demo version, limited type of fish and number of fish.but as for trial,5 fishes is better than 3.it will be better if the coral move.some part of the coral should be moving.over all, BEST and worth the trail.

This is a great screensaver! This is absolutely better than the Marine Aquarium screensaver, which contains annoying pop-ups, telling you to purchase their product. This one's different. It contains neither malwares nor pop-ups. What's better is the variety of controls- You can change the bubble amount, randomnize the type of swimming fish with a click, touch the fish, feed the fish, and much more! Download now and try it . . . I am already satisfied with the demo version!

I haven't even seen how it works as a screensaver yet b/c I'm spending my time playing the active desktop. Fish swimming around your icons and you can feed them -- better than working!
If you have fish, want fish, or love fish This is your screen saver!

This is the best screen saver! It has alot of features just in the trial version!features NO adware, spyware, trojans or viruses of ANY kind! If you don't want to buy it, the free version is great and it has awesome features! The sounds are realistic, AND you can set your brackground on your comp to the fishs and they will actually move and you wil hear the sound on your background! On the screen saver version you can tickle the fish (though in real life i would have no clue why you would want to) you can even feed the fish! And the best part is you don't have to waist hundreds of dollars on the fishes dieing over and over agian, becasue these never do! And if you buy the full version you get to download lots more fish on their website! This is truely a unique screensaver!
Beautiful
