Feed Some Virtual Fish

SUMMARY: Don't want to purchase an aquarium and pay for the upkeep? Feed virtual fish on your iGoogle homepage.

Don't have the cash for an aquarium, exotic fish, fish food, and all the extras and maintenance? Add a virtual aquarium to your iGoogle page with the "Fish" gadget from Adam Bowman. Move your mouse pointer inside the gadget and the fish will follow. Press the left mouse button to release "food" and watch as the fish eat.


For such a seemingly simple gadget, a surprising number of configuration options are available. Click the down-arrow then "Edit settings" to adjust the gadget title, background color, background image, number of fish, and each fish color.
