multiple fish

aiaman · 01-31-2004, 12:51 PM

is there a way that I can select the number of fish for my aquarium? I have always wanted to have many of one type of fish in a tank so they can school. I know that the limit now is 5 or 6 but can I increase that number in any way?

The limit is 7 total. You can of course fill all 7 slots with the same fish, but that won't make them "school", you will just have the same fish there 7 times.

so is there anyway I can get more fish?
will an upgrade in the future have that option?

The limit on the number of fish allowed at any one time is imposed because of the collision avoidance routines that keep the fish from running into or passing through each other. More fish in this size aquarium would cause problems right now. Jim has plans in the future of making the aquarium about 2x as wide and having camera panning. Then we might be able to have about 10 at one time if everything goes according to plan.
