For the main reason, it's more realistic! Better suspension of disbelief.

The tail animations are so realistic, as well as the movement and interraction. But the biggest thing that makes it true to life is something quite coincidental, it's because these are goldfish, not big tropial fish, so they look about the right size on your monitor! Not like with the Marine aquarium, where you know these fish are giant but they are tiny on your screen - it's harder to believe it (always wanted a zoom feature in Marine Aquarium, to make the fish life-size).

THIS is why this one works better! Btw, did Sachs do the art for this? Because he's not mentioned anywhere... I don't really understand the relation between Prolific/Serenescreen/Jim himself.
