The best but wait for the next version. - Version: 2.6.1, 4/28/2008 05:57PM PST

Cool Al_X

If you have a monitor >1024X768, WAIT FOR THE NEXT VERSION. This and Goldfish Aquarium 2 are the best of this type of screen saver, as it has the most realistic looking fish. However, it has some major flaws that prevent me from recommending it: (1) The background looks low resolution (pixelated) on my 1920X1200 iMac display. (2) There is only one background to choose from. How hard is it for them to put in several high-resolution backgrounds, really?!

Ok, but my real fish tank is better than this - Version: 2.6.1, 9/11/2007 11:39PM PST

The animation is quite stiff. I realized that none of the corals or other invertebrates move, which gives it an overly artificial feel. It is nice, but I don't see shelling out $20 for a screensaver that comes free for Windoze users. On the other hand, my electric bill alone for the real fish tank is about $70 per month.

Want to feed them! - Version: 2.6.0rc2, 8/7/2007 11:51AM PST

Some people had trouble with this on Intel, but it works on my MacBook Pro without any trouble. Still the best Screensaver around, but it's time they introduced some new fish, features etc...Agree about the customer service though. I haven't had a reply after 6 months, LOL!
