Got most of the bugs in the new interface fixed, but I've decided to slightly re-think the logic of how it will work. The way I have it now, there is a chart of all the fish, and you can click on each one. Once clicked, you can increase or decrease the number of that type of fish in the tank. You can also include it in the random mix. There is a separate control to set the number of random fish.

It gets a bit confusing when a bunch of fish have been included as random possibilites, but the number of random fish is zero. Or, the number of random fish might be greater than zero, but no fish have been marked for possible inclusion.

I'm thinking of approaching from the opposite angle - a fish is assumed to be available for the Random mix unless it's specifically disabled. The Random generator would chose first from those fish which are not specifically chosen, but are not disabled. If it runs out of those, it would start duplicating fish.
