Summary: My Dream Come True
Review: This DVD is a dream come true for me. Ever since the introduction of the DVD medium, I have been wishing that someone should release a DVD with colorful fishes of all kind swimming back and forth just like a real aquarium. I had an aquarium years ago and it was a time-consuming hobby. The time to change the water and clean the aquarium were too messy and too expansive. After half year, I discontinued the hobby but until now still missed watching those beautiful fishes. Finally, this is the DVD I have been wishing for in the past two years. It allows continuous play on your monitor or TV with two choices of viewing options (close-up or full view of the aquarium) and four choices of background sound (two music tracks, one sea surf sound, and one bubbling water sound.) My prefer choices are the close-up view (the fishes are larger) and the bubbling water sound (more natural sounding). You can program the aquarium to play continuously and effortlessly with this DVD. The video quality on this DVD is top notch and crystal clear in the close-up view ( * * * * *.) The fishes are a bit small in the full view (* * *.) I whole-heartedly recommend this DVD to all aquarium watchers and lovers that don't want the mess of changing and cleaning water. The water in this DVD remains crystal clear and clean forever. One last benefit of this DVD: the price is hard to beat considering all the time saved and trouble-free enjoyment of a realistic aquarium right on your monitor!

Summary: A Plain Fish Bowl Would Have Been Better
Review: This is the worst attempt of an aquarium I have ever seen. Having a plain fish bowl with one fish would have been better. Basicaly the camera stays in one spot, with may be 2 fish to look at, and they barely move around. Then to make it worst the background is void of any color, its just gray and horrible. I got my DVD and through it into the trash. If I had a fire place I would have burned it! This DVD is only worth .99 cents at the .99 cent store.

Summary: THIS CD IS GREAT FOR BABIES!!!
Review: What a waste of time, money and effort! This must be the worst screensaver ever made! It looks like the screensaver was made by an 8 year old kid with a very cheap and old camcorder! Rarely in focus; this screensaver is just plain junk. I really don't know how this ended up on the retail market! Don't buy this one!

Summary: Impressive w/out a hassle!
Review: While I can understand the former response regarding the realism of this DVD, I will have to say that if a real aquarium is what you want, this DVD comes close, but is no substitute. If your goal, however, is to have a relaxing moving picture to brighten up your dark square, this DVD is awesome! There is a slight bit of cloudiness, but not enough to warrant a "pass" on this opportunity. Unfortunately, the new age/mood music isn't the best. But, you're not buying this for the music. You're buying this for the visual spectacle. As for the other audio options, the fish tank sound fx are a bit hollow. However, the surround sound ocean waves is VERY good! If you have the option on your receiver, it is better to set the video to the DVD, and have a personal CD as the audio. I am very happy with this purchase. For a [money] investment, I'm very pleased. Nice work!

Summary: Care-Free Fish
Review: With 5 tanks to choose from (1 freshwater, 4 marine), there's quite a bit of variety on this DVD. The tanks range from your typical fishtank, with species many will recognize, to a really exotic coral reef-like tank with more unusual species. (The "fishographies" will tell you more about them.) There are 4 different soundtracks to choose from while you watch the fish. Meditation and Relaxation, however sound mostly alike to me, being somewhat-weird electronic stuff. Surf is quite pleasant and soothing. The Bubbles soundtrack I find too loud and distracting (even with the volume down), and it doesn't sound like a fish tank's bubbling to me at all. I prefer the close-up views to the full-tank. It's easier to see the fish, and it's not at all jarring when the focus goes from one fish to the next. You can put the program you've selected on "repeat" which will play the track in a continuous loop. According to the box, there are 15 hours of unique programming. This is an okay DVD; it's not outstanding, and it's not awful. It IS a much easier way to keep fish than to have a real, live tank.
