{EDIT:}
Site's up. 48 species so far, need to add Discus and Freshwater Plants. If you guys want me to add a fish, the quickest way is to post a picture or a link to a picture! |
i've had bichirs in my tanks for years, my absolute favs are rope fish followed by the ornate bichir and the delhezi

Zebra Fish Request
1 Attachment(s)
In my tank, my favorite fishes were the clown loaches, red tail sharks, and these guys... zebrafish.
I like them because they would always race around at the top of the tank in small groups. Very fun to watch. |
Yeah I had them too, zebra's are soooo cool :D
|
Here's a link to the Endler's livebearers I was talking about:
http://www.aquariumhobbyist.com/endlerslivebearer/ Also, Lake Tanganyika cichlids would be cool. They're very colorful and have a lot of personality. |
Discus or Altum Angelfish
I would suggest the Altum Angelfish. They are a sight to behold. Sorry about a lack of a picture, but I couldn't find one that showed the visible dimensions of the fish well enough.

Any Way you do a Malawi Cichlids tank they are by far the most colorfull freshwater fish you can find, Red Empress,Electric Blues, Yellow Lab,as well as many many others
|

|
I have to admit, I haven't seen to many of these, but I got a South American species that is awsome. South American "Freshwater" Flounder.
http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/Spec...ry.cfm?ID=4256 Now this one would be cool to have in the freshwater aquarium. |
I don't have any pictures of my suggested animal...but it would be better to see a water spider. I think it would be cool.
|

Thanks feldon! :D that's really nice.
Well, it just i really want it to be differenct coz all cyclids are look alike...so different form would be cool like fresh water shrimps or tadpoles, or turtles. :D |
Yay! I'm in demand :D

air filling chest
I am greatly looking forward to the freshwater version of the serene screen aquarium, but at the risk of sounding like an aquarium snob, please don't put the treasure chest which fills with air and opens and closes, or at least give us the option to turn the graphic on or off. Could you put a nice piece of ornate bog wood in there instead of the treasure chest. Thanks for listening, and I look forward to seeing the product!
|
A treasure chest is the only novelty item the freshwater tank will have, and you'll be able to turn it off.
|
Any other news concerning the freshwater tank???

I wanna ad this awesome fish.
It's a Labeo Bicolor or Red-tailed Black shark. It isn't a big Fish and I know this because I own one :) Please ad this one to the Freshwater Aquarium, Please. |
Yes, I agree, I always tried to have a Red-tailed Black shark in my tanks, they are wonderful!
Please Jim, put one in !!!! |
I guess it's time for me to do an update to the Freshwater Wishlist on my website. It will probably double to 8 pages. :D

And posting this as a new thread instead of in the Wishlist thread was good because?

Nice fish. What is it?
|
I've glued this to the other thread.

I would guess the fish is a Venustus - Haplochromis venustus

Piranhas

Quote:
I admit that most of the Serrasalmus species can be "odd" looking to many people, but the Pygocentrus species (True Piranhas) have wonderful colouring, especially if they are wild caught. The most common in the Red-Bellied (Pygocentrus Nattereri), of which most are tank-bred fish. This inbreeding has led to less vibrant colours than their wild counterparts, which have silver scales and bright red bellies. Other species such as Pygocentrus Piraya have beautiful, bright yellow and orange "flames", and the Pygocentrus Caribe looks like the Nattereri, but has the black humeral spot behind the gills. These fish have excellent personalities, as do most large fish. I have three myself, and they never cease to amaze me. They're so shy and timid, yet can turn highly aggressive when defending territory or when feeding. I feel the Pygocentrus Piranhas would be an excellent addition to the freshwater screensaver. They are one of the best known freshwater fish (who hasn't heard about Piranhas?), and I think it would be a shame not include them. |
I'd like to add this guy to the list. Jim has said a cuttlefish will eventually be in the creature pack, and if you're going to do one, you might as well do it right and use this 'un.

Wow. This is totally the wrong forum.
Morgan, can you shoot me over to the Saltwater wishlist? As opposed to just...shooting me? |
The Kuhli Loach has always been my favorite fish, ever since I was a little kid staring into my dad's 60 gallon tank of guppies and cardinals. They were fun because you wouldn't see them every day and it was special when they appeared.

Jim, have you ever consider to add some interaction with the user on your wonderful virtual acuariums? I would like to be able to feed the fish, see how they catch the food as it goes down, be able to click in the tank and have the fish react at it.
What do you think everybody? |
jotabk,
Those are likely coming. Jim hopes to add tapping on the glass and feeding the fish. I am referring to the Saltwater Aquarium by the way. I don't know if this will refer to the Freshwater. |
Probably the Freshwater, too.
|
What's supposed to happen when you tap the glass? Feeding I can relate to, but what's the fun in startling (sp?) the fish?
/Tiny Menace To The Tank |
Actually, in a real tank thats not something that you are supposed to let happen alot. But, it generally does most of the time anyway. For some reason people seem to have some underlying need to do this. I have stood in an aquarium store on many occassions and watched it happen. It's like they expect the fish to swim up and wave when they tap on the glass. I think in this instance Jim is just looking for some slight "startled" effects to add some user interaction.
|
Jim,
And just so you know, if one of your fish swims up and waves a fin at me on "tap on the glass" I may fall out of my chair. :) Although thats not a bad idea as an Easter Egg. I can see it now. Set it to only happen once every 4-5 thousand key presses of that particular choice. Whatever fish is closest to the glass at that moment swims up and waves a fin and winks at you. People would look like cjmaddy's avatar going crazy pressing keys over and over just to figure out if what they think they saw was really what they saw. :) :) :) |
Nice suggestion, I like easter eggs too. Maybe there are some of them already in the current version. Maybe the "glowing royal gramma fin" has a special meaning and is not a bug...
|
How bout the little frogs and crabs.. Maybe a snail or 2.. I always had some in my tank.. Made it really neat..

Crabs r better, freshwater crabs have many bright colors
