I was wondering if any kind soul out there who has this game would be
kind enough to post or email me a description of how you go about
breeding and mutating the fish. What sort of options are allowed?
How do you specify what you want to have as an outcome, etc.

Also, what kinds of different fish have you succeeded in creating?

What of the following sorts of things can be created?

1) eel like creatures.
2) Lion (turkey) fish.
3) Fancy guppies
4) Catfish
5) Sword Fish.
6) Angel Fish
7) Angel Fish with fin varieties like lace.
8) Bettas.

Also, what kind of behavior can you get out of the fish. Can you get
bullies like oscars?

etc.

I know that none of the fish are quote "real". That resemblances are
somewhat accidental. Still how close can you get to types like
the above.

Any chance they also include animations of things like crayfish, frogs,
sea anemones, etc?

Finally, what is this simulation going for?

Also, if any kind soul wants to sell there copy, I might be interested.
Since there seems to be an undercurrent of people who hate it, here is
your chance.

Thanks: Dave

Some might funky looking fish. I tried to breed some sharks for a while but it
is a slow and arduous process.

Long fish with really small fins goo enough?

>2) Lion (turkey) fish.
You mean with big, frilly fins? Not yet.

>3) Fancy guppies
Yes! Very easy to do. Guppiees are small and require little time to breed.

>4) Catfish
Probably. I haven't tried yet.

>5) Sword Fish.
Again probably.

>6) Angel Fish
I haven't been able to get fins like that yet.

All of the fish act about the same. It's one of my major gripes with the
program.

The give you sea anemones, crabs, scuba divers, seahorses, and various aquarium
decorations.

Fun, and learning about genetics?
