You're right. With my method, it's difficult and non-intuitive to specify less than 7 fish if ANY of them are random.

Well, if we were going to start from scratch, I see Prolific's idea of dragging fish or a Question (?) mark into 7 or 10 slots (since the 3D background version will have 9-10 fish slots) and then having a separate panel "Customize Random" similar to my prototype above.

Also, invertebrates could be integrated into this design.

Let me do a new prototype.

The Pseudografix one plus the one you originally posted are perfect. One panel with "Never-Rarely-Sometimes-Often" sliders for "Random Fish Settings" and the slot settings for "Fish in Your Tank".

After some thought I had this idea (and edited this message):

We don't need no stinking bat rays! Last edited by Socrates; 11-29-2001 at 11:00 PM.
