Any help?

Okay, just thought it looked fantailed in the photo. Glad to find out its not

I know about goldfish, we have 7 aquariums from 10g to 370g.

That's great Sharon, another goldfish lover, nice to have another one on the forum. I love all of the aquariums, but goldfish are my favorite fish, all varieties.

You have good taste! They are my favorites, too.

Hey just wanted to comment on the goldfish aquarium - I like it a lot!

I've been setting it up today and despite having a laptop everything seems to run just fine. (Laptop is only about 6 mnths old - a Dell)

I heard that goldfish bring good luck, especially financially, so I decided to get this screensaver. As a poor grad. student I need all the help I can get! (Also I lack the space and money for a decent real fishtank.)

I think even my "earlier" version is very well-done, and I like how the fish's fins are imperfect - varying in thickness and color like a real fish.

My favorite fish is Oreo, then Cali is my 2nd favorite. I agree with earlier posts that Ginger's tail is bent at an odd angle. Frieda - the simple comet, is small but very cute, and I do like her swimming style. Morgan has a special place because I used to have a real fish that looked just like her. The severe "humpback" of Brando and Moby is realistic (There are real fancy goldfish like that) - but I don't like them. Also Brando is too plain - but I guess he's included for people who like pure white animals. My sister's like that.

I set up the cycling tanks with the following combinations:
"lush" tank - ginger, monstro, jack, moby, elton
"med" tank - oreo, cali, frieda, minnie, morgan
"sparse" tank - oreo, ginger, cali, monstro, frieda

The "pond" setting allows almost all of them for me - and the fish look very different from the top-down angle, so I selected all of them, only avoiding the very dark ones. White shows up best against the blue.

Suggestion for Pond - some plants (water lilies perhaps?) would be nice.

Looking at the official site apparently I'm missing some of the fish because I only have version 1 - so I cannot comment on halley, julius, prince, or tilly. Going from the web shots however - all but halley have very short, compressed bodies- like they ran into the tank-glass one too many times. Perhaps it's just the images, or they are a type of variation I've never seen?
