This screensaver included many great features which puts it near the top of our list. You have the ability to customize the fish in your tank and even make a fish of your own. There is a little fiddler crab that runs along the bottom of the tank cleaning it and sometimes he chases the fish and snaps at them.

There are different camera angles which allow you to view your aquarium in wide screen, close up to the right, left and center, or you can follow a single fish or random fish as they swim.

With Dream Aquarium you have the ability to feed the fish. This feature is highly advanced because as the fish eat, instead of the food just disappearing like it does in some screensavers, you actually see some of the fish open their mouths as they eat.
