Keyoh,

In response to your previous post:
* You should be able to edit the aquarium
- insert logs, stones, even small "sunken" ships, and of course plants
This will not happen. In the first place Jim doesn't want his work to end up being degraded and looking horrible just because someone wants theirs to look that way, so people being able to edit it is out. Next this is a saltwater aquarium, not freshwater, so sunken ships, plants, logs, stones, do not fit and are not used in real saltwater aquariums, also out.
* The depth of the aquarium should be more visible
- Fish swimming straight against the screen
The fish swimming is totally random, not preplanned, so they swim where they want too.
* Fish should move at different speeds
- In real life, a fish will accelerate fast to high speed, if it gets freighted, would be a nice touch
planned for the future

As far as the other things you mentioned you cannot create 3D objects on the fly, so allot of those are out by default. The purpose of this aquarium is geared towards realism, but it is not intended as a simulator. Jim wants to capture all the good things about having an aquarium without having to deal with all the bad things. If you want a simulation with feeding, dying, fighting and so on, you will have to look elsewhere.

By the way, Welcome to the Forum.
