The pics I posted were done with the tanks not yet rescaled. Meanwhile I have resized the fishes. Some species are so big that the software does not allow to depict them in their real size, maybe that differs with changing resolutions and screen sizes available, but the factory settings for fish sizes can be increased by 100% via an external tool (factory settings also can be reduced, to decrease sizes). That way, you can try to display the relative sizes of species. For example much bigger Angelfishes and discus fishes, and smaller Cardinals. That way, the sometimes wonderful artwork and reflection magic on the textures used for fish skins is more visible to the eye as well, and the fragile animations of fins and body movements.

Some days ago I saw in an electronics market a wall of TV display for sale, all running a demo of this software. That looked stunning! People stopped and watched, just because of this.
