WOW!!!
This is getting is more & more exciting by the minute! Virtual characteristics... and you don't even have to clean the tank... or may be I missed something in earlier threads...
I remember the once buying a tamochochi for my youngest which was forever 'passing on' because it was not fed & cleaned properly- I became something of an expert in tamachochi parenting!
Chasing sounds good.
Schooling/shoaling sounds good also.
Fish that appear different size by virtue of how near they are to the front of the tank.
Fish that grow or infant fish?
Fascinating just how many factors come potentially in to the equation when you start to develop the concept further. Where does it stop?
