I agree with you totally, Sulky, and it sounds like we are living the same life!

Only thing is it's my grand kids that want dinner, not my kids.
I've been playing a little over a week, and found my last magic fish a couple hours ago. I resisted the temptation to get any hints on breeding the magics, and have been looking for the last one for two days.
Now that I've found everyone (and taken screen shots for each fish's species info) I'm starting a new game and seeing how fast I can find them all. Setting up the new tank is the downside, but I want to try to keep my dead fish minimum and see how fast I can get the tanks running with all 7 magics.
I just love this game. I breed fish years ago, and always loved it. This is all the fun with none of the work or expense.

I've always wanted a simulation game, but none really interested me. This one is RIGHT ON!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
