I am developing a virtual aquarium. I am still working on the behavior of the fish but they are almost finished. If anyone reading this has the time view the entire video, about a minute. I just want opininons from propl who know fish and can tell me do my fish move realistically which is my goal? What's good about them and what is not good about the movements it will help me put the finishing touches on my sim.
You will see freshwater archer fish and a saltwater angelfish, just experimenting, later I will have 2 different tanks. Wasn't sure if this is the section to place my question

Sir ji you give some idea regarding behavior of fish so I buy a fish pond in my house.

I don't have a clue to your meaning. Since I first asked I added a few other behaviors like the fish scatter when scared, balance, braking, and finally gliding, Now the fish move much more realistic.

It looks very much like the Dream Aquarium screensaver...

Thanks, that was a huge compliment. Dream aquarium is the only virtual aquarium that moves much more realistically than any other aquarium. The other pc fish move just back and forth, ascending and descending at small angles, not using the whole tank like real fish. I have added more movements since I posted here I think they are even better looking movement wise. Now they even scatter when the crab tries to bite them, I have another odd question, I will start a new thread , hopefully you and others will answer.
