number of fish

Submariner · 09-18-2003, 10:53 AM

I was wondering why on marine aquarium 2 registered version
you can only have 7 fish in the tank. Why not 12 or 15 or all 26?
I am sure having more fish will eat up lots of memory and there
might be other problems. But give them a choice. I know I would
like to have that choice.

Thanks

Because it would look incredibly overcrowded and ugly.

And thats if your video card would render all of them at the same time.

One more time.....Collision Detection. The main reason that the invertebrates will be added to the number of allowed fish is that they will be crawling on the floor, and not attempting to occupy the same space at the same time as the fish.
