SimAquarium Fish notes
Notes on the various fish in SimAquarium, a fun widget that is available for the Opera browser. I have been looking for information on the fish in this little widget but have not been having much luck so here some my observations.
Southern platyfish - Inexpensive fish that reproduces quickly. Does not produce a lot of pollution. Short lived.
Guppy - An inexpensive that reproduces ok. Short lived.
Rosy Barb - Keep this fish in the tank all by itself and it will reproduce well. When it has to compete with other fish then its reproduction is slow to non-existent. Must have at least an underground filter or the water will dirty quickly. Slow growing but long lived. Appears the max per tank is 13.
Cardinal Tetra - This fish will reproduce quickly but does not cause too much pollution. A tank can support more than 60 of these fish without problem. Lives a little longer than the Sailfin but not much.
Marine Angelfish - very slow growing and reproduces quite slowly. They do look nice in the tank though.
Freshwater Angelfish - slow to grow and long lived, once full grown will reproduce quickly, especially when some breeding hormones are tossed in.
Discus - grows fast and short lived but will reproduce quickly especially with breeding hormones in the tank.
Paradise Fish - If you are looking to breed more fish then keep away from this one, it is very slow to reproduce if ever.
