Why is there a limit of seven fish at any one time in The Wolf Firm Virtual Aquarium?
There are several reasons. First, the number 7 has great meaning. Second, a real saltwater aquarium of this size (200 gallons) could not support more fish. Third, more than seven fish in the aquarium at any one time makes the aquarium look visually crowded. The fourth reason is that the graphics overhead for more fish slows the system down too much. We know that some very wealthy people (such as outsourcers) have very powerful graphics cards, which are producing 100 frames per second or more, but most of us normal folk do not, and the programmers of The Wolf Firm Virtual Aquarium wanted the experience to be satisfying for the largest possible audience. Long live the proletariat!
