Saltwater aquariums are breathtakingly beautiful, but onerous to maintain. The exception is The Classic Aquarium DVD--a "no-care" aquarium with white sand, exquisite coral formations, large barnacle clusters, and a host of colorful tropical fish. View the full aquarium with the 40-minute full-tank option or follow the paths of individual fish in the eight-minute close-up segment. Tranquility and beauty reign in either, and each sequence offers a crystal-clear picture and a repeat function for continuous play. Audio choices include gentle beach surf, authentic aquarium bubbling, and New Age relaxation and meditation musical tracks in both DTS and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. An on-screen "fishography" provides aquarium enthusiasts with detailed information about the natural habitat, diet, temperament, and care of 12 individual species of fish. DVD-ROM extras include screensavers and a fish calendar. Just think of this as tranquility through television. --Tami Horiuchi

Synopsis
If you love to look at tropical fish but aren't much good at taking care of them, this could be just the video you've been looking for. Aquaria: The Exotic Aquarium offers a full-frame view of a beautiful aquarium, stocked with unusual and exotic breeds of tropical fish, which allows viewers to watch the creatures swim back and forth for hours, either for relaxation or as an ambient display. The DVD also offers the option of several audio tracks (including two musical options, the sound of surf at the beach, or the sound of a fish tank ventilation system), as well as information on the various breeds of fish on view in this video. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Customer Reviews

A Plain Fish Bowl Would Have Been Better
This is the worst attempt of an aquarium I have ever seen. Having a plain fish bowl with one fish would have been better. Basicaly the camera stays in one spot, with may be 2 fish to look at, and they barely move around. Then to make it worst the background is void of any color, its just gray and horrible. I got my DVD and through it into the trash. If I had a fire place I would have burned it! This DVD is only worth .99 cents at the .99 cent store.

THIS CD IS GREAT FOR BABIES!!!
I have a two month old daughter, and we heard from a friend that an aquarium really entertained their son. We can't afford the cost and upkeep of a real aquarium, so I found this on Amazon.com and purchased it. I put my daughter in front of the tv to any one of the aquarium types on the cd, and she is mesmerized. A really neat feature is a close-up option of each aquarium, and the fish are displayed larger on the screen. This view really captures my daughter's attention - the bright colored fish, coral, and lights keep her eyes darting, and tones down her fussing - allowing me to get things done around the house. ANYONE WITH BABIES - ORDER THIS NOW! It is such easy entertainment, and I am sure it really helps develop their senses! Great video - very real to life.

Aquaria The Freshwater Aquarium
What a waste of time, money and effort! This must be the worst screensaver ever made! It looks like the screensaver was made by an 8 year old kid with a very cheap and old camcorder! Rarely in focus; this screensaver is just plain junk. I really don't know how this ended up on the retail market! Don't buy this one!
