We got sweet new computer monitors at work and after getting bored of the weak default screen saver that comes with Windows Vista we remembered Dream Aquarium. Dream Aquarium turns your computer monitor into an insanely life-like aquarium every time you get up to pee or turn around to chat about something inappropriate with your co-workers.

You have a bunch of options to add fish, delete fish, feed the fish, speed up and slow down the tank, move the bubbles, set different tanks and even choose an image of your own for the tank background. You can even switch the tank to wireframe mode so you can see the entire tank without it’s skin, check it out.

Here are my fish eating.

You can add a crab to your tank and set it’s mood. The crab can hate fish or just dislike fish. Mine hates fish and tries to grab them when they get near.

Dream Aquarium is an excellent way to spend $20, 20% of the profit goes to environmental charities, and it’s made by a fellow Torontonian. It’s crazy how life-like it is, download the demo and check it out.

    Cool screen saver but it goes all funky on my dual monitors. The fish only swim on my wide screen and it does this strange zooming in and out effect and the fish never go on to my 2nd non-widescreen screen :(

    The zooming in and out is a feature I forgot to mention. It shows you the tank then focuses on specific fish for a bit. The demo randomly shows you features like that but you can turn it off if you buy the screen saver.

    After closer inspection (and advice from you) it appears I am just stupid and I can add fish to the other screen separately and that the zooming in and out is a feature that can be turned on and off.
