Welcome To AQUAZONE! AQUAZONE is the first interactive virtual aquarium for your computer, and can be run as a Screen Saver or as an interactive application. As a Screen Saver, it allows users to select not only the types and numbers of fish, but also the appearance of the tank itself! It also offers complete customization of the astoundingly realistic lighting and sound effects. When run interactively, users can also virtually “tap” on the tank with a mouse click and see how the fish respond; “feed” the fish with virtual fish food and watch while they eat; or select a favorite fish to zoom in on and follow with “fish-cam” — a virtual camera that follows a selected fish through the tank observing your its behavior and interaction with other fish. Other virtual aquarium products may offer a substantial array of fish to select from — but they limit the number displayed on screen to fewer than eight fish at any one time. AQUAZONE allows users’ screens to teem with virtual schools of fish at the same time! Some species even exhibit authentic schooling behaviors! Add More Fish, New Tanks, Even BASS! Add even more variety to your virtual fish tank by purchasing additional packages of fish, toys, and environments online at: http://www.aquazoneshop.com/
