New - how do I get more fish?
 

I just purchased this wonderful software and there are very few instructions that came with it - just a little 2 page pamphlet.

Currently, I can only get 5 fish on the screen. Is it possible to get more or all of them? Am I doing some thing wrong?

Thanks.

You can have maximum 7 fish on screen at once, choosing from 21 fish. just press the space bar when the aquarium is running, it'll bring up the setting panel, have fun with discovering

Oh by the way, Welcome to the forum

Thanks James.
Hopefully someday we can have a LOT more fish!

Thanks again!

There's a maximum of 7 fish in the tank at once (8 in the widescreenversion), because more than that would not be realistic. The 7 can be chosen from a list of 26 fish, not 21.

In a real saltwater tank of this size, even 7 fish would be pushing it.

If you have a 2 page pamphlet, you must have purchased a boxed CD version, right? If so, go to http://www.serenescreen.com/ and download and install the latest version. Your CD version is a little out of date.

Opps, I mean 26, I dunno why my finger did a 21 before, sorry about that. and plus one starfish. :p

The current boxed version is 2.0.1. Has been for a while now.

And the Aquarium still comes with no user manual of any kind. I think Jim feels it is a badge of honor that no manual is required to use it.

Actually that's Prolific's call. I have very little to do with the boxed version.
