Aquarium Screensavers Software Review

Why Aquarium Screensaver Software?

There's something about aquariums that brings peace and relaxation to the soul. An aquarium acts as a window to another world where the hustle and bustle of the cooperate world and the stresses of school don't exist. Aquarium screensaver software puts the beauty and tranquility of an aquarium on your desktop, without the required cleaning and maintenance of a real tank.

You can choose 3D screensavers of fish of all shapes and sizes including angelfish, clownfish, yellow tang, guppies and more, or select larger ocean-dwellers like great whites, whales and dolphins. These realistic depictions will swim across, towards and away from your screen with unpredictable true-to-life motions.

Vibrant coral reefs and sea plants provide the perfect environment for your fish tank screensaver. Rays of light shimmer on swaying vegetation, brightly colored coral and golden sand. Some software even include sounds of the sea so you can listen to whale songs, bubbles or rhythmic waves.

What to Look for in Aquarium Screensaver Software

Appearance and presentation is everything when it comes to virtual aquariums and we've found most beautifully realistic aquariums on today's market. Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate virtual aquarium software:

Ease of Use
Aquarium screensaver software should be easy to download and set up on your computer. A computer novice should be able to select fish, change scenery and use other options and settings of the program with ease.

Feature Set
High-end aquarium screensaver software includes realistic fish with natural swimming behaviors and movements and the plants should move subtly with the water. The entire scene should appear to have depth and mass with the use of light and shadows.

Installation
The software shouldn't require extra steps like rebooting during installation and it shouldn't come with bundled popup advertisements, spyware or adware.

Help/Documentation
The aquarium screensaver should have ample customer support in the form of a FAQs page and an email address and phone number to contact customer service. Customer service should answer emails in a timely manner and provide helpful information.

3-D Fish
A superior aquarium offers a variety of fish and other critters. The water-dwellers should be true-to-life in appearance and movement.

Scenery
Plants, coral reefs and other elements of the environment should be lifelike with vivid colors and shimmering highlights; plants should sway with the current. Some aquariums even let the owner design the surroundings.

You don't have travel to Hawaii or the Caribbean to discover your favorite tropical fish and beautiful reefs-they're just minutes away. Be sure to read the review on our top-ranked aquarium screensaver software, Aqua Real 2.
