Marine Aquarium 2.5 Virtual Undersea Paradise Win/Mac review:3 stars (It's ok) - This is ok - does all that it claims to. However, we had a free demo from Fry's that came on our computer that looks exactly the same (minus the Fry's logo in the background). This just offers a few more fish. Wish I could change the background - you can't. So, if I had it to do over, I would have saved my $$$.5 stars (Best one out there) - This is the best one out there, a few tried to imitate but still nowhere near this.

I know, its only a Screen Saver but it looks mighty real to me.5 stars (Breathaking realistic and flexible) - This has been my favorite screen saver.

I have seen most of these fish in their natural settings. The ones in this program look realistic. Their movement appears natural in all dimensions. The Lionfish is a particularly breathaking work of art. The spines, fins and tail move independently. The eyes are not static. Each fish moves in and out of the immoble coral base. My resident purist objected to the fact that some of the coral, and fish would not exist together in nature in the same place. My resident pursit also noted that there ought to be sea urchins. On the other hand, I did not have to swallow any salt water or get a sunburn to see the display.

The program installed easily and did not upset the rest of my computer settings. It is easy to change shading, contrast brightness and on-off timing. Th program easily adapts to screens of varying dimensions You only get a limited number of fish together at a given time. At first this bothered me and I wanted more simultaneously. I changed my mind after I tried out another aquarium program that allows many more fish. After a while I decided that too many fish become distracting and less realistic.

Marine Aquarium makes it easy to change the visible fish. Kids who come into my office like to change the fish themselves. Several of the available fish are similar to some of the stars of "Finding Nemo" and the kids like to make sure that these fish are visible.
