What has been mentioned earlier on the issue of compatibility is that absolute realism when it comes to behaviour will have to stand down in favor of visually pleasing fish. The Saltwater version already have some fish that wouldn't work out too well in a live tank. That lionfish, for instance, would have fun snacking on some of the smaller species (Check the avatar image of forum member "Socrates" to see what I mean). The upcoming (no, I don't know when) creature packs supposedly will include a (or maybe even several) moray eel(s) aswell as a octopus. Not the best combination although Mr. Moray would be excited...

As for size, the saltwater tank is inhabited by juvenile specimens (note that the lionfish doesn't sport the typical "horns" on the forhead that adult ones have). Neons/Cardinals/whatever as small enough to come in adult size, but an Arrowana would obviously be something of a fry if it was to make it to the SS (No thumbs up or down on that one yet).

I wouldn't get my hopes up too high on a "real mode". Jim's been pretty adamant about keeping this serene with no violence whatsoever

I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
