Some of Seafoam's pictures are good enough for the wishlist page. (hint, hint)

Longnosed Filefish and Lemonpeel Anglefish get my votes. The Psychedelic Fish reminds me of a Mandarin Dragonet.

that's similar to a Maroon Clown.
and what you call a Psychadelic fish is the popular Mandarin Gobi (Dragonet) which is slated to be added at a later date.

That clownfish is very pretty. The "Psychedelic Fish" IS another name for the Mandarin Gobi (Dragonet.) I've always been used to calling it a Psychedelic fish, but Liveaquaria.com calls it by the other name now too. But I like "psychedelic," it sounds cooler. *grin*

The Lemonpeel Angelfish is so cute! It totally gets my vote.

The Psychadelic fish and the Subgenus Premnas (Anemonefish) are very nice. Anybody know what for fish are the next to implement in SSA?

Only Jim, and perhaps not even he...
To me the problem with fish like the Mandarin Gobi is that while when you see them in real life what makes them fascinating is that they look so unreal yet still exist. In the SS it's the more "normal" fish that look the best as you know what they look like and can easier appreciate how life-like they are. The more extreme species easily just end up looking too unreal even though they might be very good reproductions of the real thing... /Tiny Two Cents Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

That's an interesting point which I used to bring up in my seminars. An artist is often hampered by what people are willing to accept. A photographer might win kudos for capturing an image of a cloud that happens to look just like Abraham Lincoln, but if an artist used the same image in the background of a painting, it would be dismissed as preposterous.
In the past, we have discussed several fish that I have considered too "far out" to include in the Aquarium. The Mandarin Goby is not one of them. The only thing which has thus far precluded it is the swimming motion, which is different from the normal "flat" fish. I am currently planning for the Mandarin to be in the first Creature Pak. Maybe in a few years the Aquarium will have such a reputation for accuracy that everyone will know that anything in it must be real.

I agree, but the only fish currently in MA that IMO meets this criteria is the square spotted fish. I can't remember it's exact name because it just seems so unreal to me that I never have it on. However, I have seen a live specimen of the Mandarin Drogonet, and it looked quite real. Perhaps if I'd seen one of the square spotted ones also, I'd be more apt to accept its reality. But sometimes when MA is on I almost forget and tap on the glass, so the line between real and unreal is beginning to blur. ![]() Last edited by klyntun; 09-15-2003 at 06:47 PM. |

The Redheaded Butterfly seems to have some really clean lines - very elegant. That would be the second one to get my vote.
With regard to clownfish, is it me or are they usually darker on top than underneath? They seem so to me, but maybe I've just not seen proper 'benchmark' pictures of them.

Will there be different skins for the nudibranch to chose from when it comes out?
Is there going to be a limit to how many creatures that can go into the aquarium,or can we have them all in at once? |

There will be a limit just like with the fish, and for the same reasons.

Originally posted by GreenHsiF I have yet to see Jim change the texture on a fish without making at least subtle changes to the 3D body model. So I don't think we'll see different skins per se, but certainly once a Nudibranch model has been created, several species can be produced without a lot of reshaping.

I'm certainly not planning any. The idea is for the Creature Paks to contain two or three invertibrates, a couple of unusual fish, and maybe four regular fish. With the two creature packs that would be six invertibrates,four unusual fish,and eight regular fish.On the invertibrates if there are going to be six would that be 1.Octopus? 2.Nudibranch? 3.Jellyfish? 4.Cuttlefish? 5.Green Mandarin Goby? 6.Starfish? with the four unusual fish and the eight regular fish,that would be twelve more fish to come on to the screen,plus the 3-d background coming sounds like the whole thing is going to be an explosion. |
