I was looking for a screensaver that has an ocean setting, with fish traveling to and fro. Sea kelp swaying, bubbles rising here and there. Maybe a jelly or squid scooting at an angle from corner to corner. Maybe a fish stopping to take a look at me. Maybe an ocean floor with a star or urchin moving about slowly. Maybe a rock outcropping with an anemone. But this program does not deliver any of that. It is a cheap ocean setting, with basically a blue shaded screen with a few sunshine rays streaming through, and several fish types traveling accross the screen both ways. No kelp, no bubbles, no random movements. No up, down or diagonal. Looks more like a shooting gallery where the ducks just travel along in a straight line one after the other, then roll over and go back to the other side. BORING! I feel ripped off. I am returnig this product to Amazon for any refund they will give. I don't want anyone thinking I felt this product was worth buying.

I was all excited to have a modern 3-D saltwater fish screensaver, but the best thing this program can manage is to take your money. Sure it puts fish and the occasional dolphin on your screen but comes up "criminally" short in entertainment or fascination.

Jeff Carter said he bought this because he liked it when he saw it on display at Office Depot. I believe he is mistaken. I was just at an Office Depot and saw a beautiful aquarium screen saver. I asked what it was, and the clerk said it was from Microsoft Plus for Windows XP. I checked, and Microsoft Plus does include an aquarium screen saver.

Wish that i han read Mr Litman's revue before i bought this.
It's defently boring, no real settings or adjustments, and it's just a one way thing back and forth. Boring. This ? screen saver again ? has NO action at all.
If i could it would get 0 stars.

This screen saver is awful. It offers NOTHING in the way of joy. I bought it with the idea that it'd give me a nice PC aquarium of nice things to see, what a laugh. All it does...and I mean ALL IT DOES...is have you pick from a basic list of promising fish & then has them swim back & forth...left to right...right to left...sometimes in pairs...but always the same TIRED thing over & over again. The fish never interact with each other, they don't have any kind of background whatsoever to see except for a (the only thing you can adjust) ray of sunlight, whoopie. It's not even worth the postage if someone offered to send it to you for free. Shortly after buying this wretched piece of junk I did buy a beautiful PC aquarium, I love it. It comes with 3 different types of fish tanks, you can adjust them by many things including types of fish, backgrounds, etc. The "carosuel" setting lets you pick from ALL of your screensavers, it's great. If you want a really great PC aquarium at a fantastic price, pick up a copy of Encore's Aquarium 3-in-1 Limited Edition. I give it a 5 star rating for sure. If I could I'd give Ocean Aquarium 3D a minus 5, that'd be my true rating.

I highly recommend this for your computer.I saw it at office depot on display and it gives you 3-d video and relaxing bubble sounds.Like it says it displays dolphins,sharks,fish,and marine settings.It looks so real and the bubble sound is so relaxing.It works on windows 98,2000 and xp.
