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.

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

I would guess the fish is a Venustus - Haplochromis venustus

Thumbs Down Piranhas

Originally posted by Jim Sachs
I thought about it, but probably not. They're not especially good-looking fish.
What is a good-looking fish? Which Piranhas are you referring to?
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.

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?

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...
