Kept pushing for you to buy the full tank version constantly after getting 25 fishes, otherwise decent desktop tank.

at first i thought that this was a cute novelty but now i like it. the clutter on my screen is fun :) i like seeing fish swim in the way of me making music and being enoying! enough joking, the atmosphere the fhish give is just lovely in all honesty, if you like to have some cute clutter too liven up you'r screen i'd say stick with the free version, but if you'd rather have a mini aquerium when you work i'd say it is worth considering getting the "full" version (it just gives you a cap of 100 fish instead of 25). but i have to say that i have an isue with changing what screen they are on, when i click the arrow to switch to monitor 2 it just restarts and resets my ui settings. but that is my experience! if you don't have that isue then ignore my problem! the app is free after all! but anyways, my conclusion is that this is definetly not just a novelty app, it is an atmospheric gatcha game, but without the micro transactions. 8/10 would smash again!
