Introduction

fishtank - simulation of a fish tank

The fishtank is a home to two kinds of fishes. The smaller ones are just fooling around and trying to find something to eat. When they eat some food a new fish is born. Since they are so small and weak they tend to gather in a fish school. The bigger ones are predators and therefore are trying to hunt down the smaller ones.

You can add food to the tank or even new fishes - so try to create a balanced ecosystem.
