The Aquarium is written in DirectX 6.

Jim had a joy of a time trying to load and unload fish models on the fly. It did not work on all the cards he wanted to support. So instead, he has to destroy and rebuild the 3D world every time you select different fish or the RANDOM setting comes into play.

There is a short, but discernable delay after you exit from the Settings panel. During the delay, the Aquarium is doing as I describe.
