Viva-Media, the supreme children's software distributor, announces their newest, super game for those interested in fish aquariums. My Sim Aquarium will let you dive in and create an extraordinary aquarium so your pet fish can live in style and comfort.

Calling all fish lovers. Dive into My Sim Aquarium for the ultimate in underwater excitement. Build your fish their dream aquarium so they can live in style and comfort. Feed and nurture your pets so they can grow from small fries to parents of their own. Play with your fish and tickle them wherever they go. Real 3D camera movements let you follow them throughout the aquarium.

Viva Media CEO Carlo Voelker says "My Sim Aquarium allows all fish lovers an opportunity to enjoy their pets like never before. Rarely does virtual pet software allow the user the chance to engage their pets in their own environment. With My Sim Aquarium, players have the freedom to play, swim, and feed their fish from a full 360 degree underwater perspective."

In all, players can enjoy 48 species of breed-able fish in fully customizable environments that include animated decorations and even a live mermaid. Encyclopedic entries for each species provide helpful insight into properly housing and caring for your pets. Players are also free buy and sell their fish at the Pet Store, because variety is the spice of sea life.

You bring your new baby fish home from the marine pet shop, where you can choose from over 48 different species of sea creatures. Once you have them home, then you build your dream aquarium and choose from an extensive variety of plants, stylish accessories, buildings, animated tank toys, and much more.

You can play with your virtual fish, tickle them, and get close enough to see the light sparkle on their scales. Follow your pets as they swim, enjoying full 360 degree panoramic views.

Raise happy and healthy fish. All your fish start off as babies, called fries, and can grow up to 3 times their original fry size. You can also feed your fish funky fish food that will make them glow neon, get big or small, and even wild.

My Sim Aquarium takes the genre of aquarium screensavers to a whole new level. Fans of the many aquarium screensavers that are so well known will definitely want to seriously consider playing My Sim Aquarium. In this neat new simulation game, the fish aquarium gets its full due attention and aquarium owners will have great fun with their virtual aquarium.

The higher the quality of your video card and your monitor, the more beautiful will be this marvelous game. In order to fully realize the rich colors and the cool depth of this 3D aquarium, I suggest players try to load this game on a high-end system. However, as you can tell from the above listed system requirements, the game will run quite well on less expensive machines and look fine. You will just experience more of the wondrous color and beauty of the game on higher end hardware.
