Wishlist for Marine Aquarium 3 and Future - Page 47

Will there be an option to let the octopus stick to the glass of the aquarium?

Jim Sachs · 07-13-2003, 10:05 AM

I don't think so.

Ranger · 07-14-2003, 08:47 AM

When can we expect to see an octopus swimming around in our fish tanks (Probally already said just didn't see it)?

Jim Sachs · 07-14-2003, 09:22 AM

Being the most difficult creature to create, it will also be the last, so it will be some time yet.

Ranger · 07-14-2003, 09:24 AM

Ah, well keep up the good work

i am not sure if this was mentioned, as i am honestly not going to read 47 pages of posts, but i'd love to see an urchin, and more variety in the coral selection, where there would be the possibility of picking rockwork 1,2, or 3 and even though they might cover the same area, they would include different coral arrangements. does that make sense?

GreenHsiF · 08-05-2003, 06:51 PM

Have any creatures or fish been made for the 3-d aquarium yet?

feldon34 · 08-05-2003, 06:59 PM

Marine Aquarium = COMPLETELY on hold until Freshwater. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Jim Sachs · 08-05-2003, 07:20 PM

Actually, it's just my part of the Marine Aquarium that's on hold for the Freshwater Tank. My part being the 3D background and Creature Packs.

Prolific can make changes and additions to various aspects of the Marine Aquarium, as they did with the new user interface.

I visited an aquarium supply yesterday (I'm starting to get prices to set up a freshwater tank), and was happily surprised that I could identify many of the saltwater fish that were there, due to having the MA. Now having seen them live, I'm even more impressed with the realism of the MA.
I have two additions to MY wishlist for a future creature pack. One is a Brittle Star, a very active and beautiful type of star fish. The other is a Mandarin Goby/Dragonet. Click here, then Specimen Database>Fish>Mandarin Dragonet to see what I mean. There are some other nice pictures here also. I tried making a link directly to the fish, but after about ten tries I gave up. I don't know what I was doing incorrectly. I know the fish has already been listed. I'm not sure about the starfish.

Thanks, Morgan. What do you think of the fish? Quite a beauty, IMO. Jim, if you see this please comment. The physiology of the fish itself doesn't seem overly complicated (as if I'd know!), just the intricate patterning and coloration.

feldon34 · 08-10-2003, 08:33 PM

I haven't had the opportunity of watching one very long, so I don't know it's swimming behavior.

From what I remember of Jim's comments, it's borderline between being added as a regular (free) fish or a special creature due to the unique swimming.

08-10-2003, 10:09 PM

The one that I watched in the aquarium store stayed close to the rocks/coral and the bottom, but didn't seem shy. I think that is simply its feeding habit. It was sure a beauty. It would be great to see it in a future version of the MA.

Yellow Tang · 08-11-2003, 09:11 AM

Yes, an amazing fish! I'm sure that we will see it in a future version. Thanks in advance, Jim!

GreenHsiF · 08-25-2003, 06:08 PM

I saw a fish in the wishlist.Will the spotted cat be added in the aquarium?It would be cool to see a fish with spots all over it.Something different.

I read this literally when I glanced at it. You're right, a spotted cat swimming around in the Aquarium would be really cool. I can't imagine the difficulties of getting the fur to fluff out and move properly, though. Plus cats probably don't like salt water that much.

Well if you are going to have a spotted 'cat' then I want a black one

Tiny Turtle · 08-26-2003, 07:13 AM

Anybody who's ever seen a wet cat knows it looks anything but cool. Cold perhaps, but not cool...
