Ok, so I've seen increases in crowds when adding the diver to my For Sale tank. And I've seen additional increases when doing Advertising research. So that part I know about.

The questions are this:

1) Do all customers share the same threshold of what they will pay for a given fish?

2) Even though I see different 'looking' customers, are they basically a generic customer type and the graphics that are shown are just randomly selected, or do 'young boy' customers have different likes and desires (we're talking about the fish here) than 'young girl' customers?

3) Is the purchase process the same with each customer or do they have different purchase logic? For example, will some customers will purchase a fish right away (presuming the price is right) whereas others will wait x number of minutes/seconds before buying a fish--even if the price is right, or is it strictly a price-threshold issue?

4) Do the number of fish For Sale (that means fish of 20 or older) impact the decision process of customers or will they do the same thing regardless of whether there is one fish or 5 or 10?

5) Do fish statuses (Sick, Pregnant, Hungry) affect customer purchase thresholds or purchase decisions?

Any answers (or even vague-but-semi-founded theories) would be appreciated. Thank you.
