Executioner - I wasn't the slightest bit offended by anything you had to say.

I have nothing to do with the Goldfish tank, so I can't comment about that, but here's the story on the Marine Aquarium:

The sides of the tank are meant to be a couple of inches off-screen. When the fish swim into this area, they immediately turn around and swim back on-screen. During this time, they may also swim from the front of the tank to the back or vice-versa. It is necessary for them to have this off-screen "overrun" area or the bigger fish might pass through the coral on occasion.

Assuming I continue to work on this stuff, and don't give up entirely on computers in the next few days, the 3D background version and the Freshwater tank will have an even wider background which allows the fish to swim even farther off-screen. The camera would be able to pan back and forth within this larger environment.
