Insaniquarium Deluxe is a 2001 computer game, created by Flying Bear Entertainment. It was originally published by PopCap Games, but later taken up by a number of other publishers and based on Insaniquarium, which is similar, albeit simpler.The basic idea: The player runs an aquarium, feeding and caring for cute little guppies that can poop cash◊ which the player must collect while preventing said fishies from getting eaten by aliens who randomly invade your tank. There are a number of "pets"; invincible creatures with a variety of functions that can be earned as the player progresses through the many levels in regular mode.In the Virtual Tank, an advanced version of the game, dollars have been replaced with shells, and more features are present: There are a few new pets, fish with different moods, new food items, and fish with special attributes. Note: The pets' and aliens' stories can be considered spoilers since they are accessed later in the game. | |

| Insaniquarium (Video Game) / int_10a21b32 | comment |
Extendo Boxing Glove: Walter the Penguin has a Red Boxing Glove inside his mouth. He uses it to punch fishes and pets, and doing this causes the targets to use their abilities (a fish will drop coins, Shrapnel will drop a bomb, etc). | |

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard | |
| Insaniquarium (Video Game) / int_1da01dce | comment |
The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: Despite the game suggesting players should never shoot blue Psychosquid at any cost, it is actually a very good idea to shoot them when they're dangerously close to a fish you like and to put them into the corner of the tank and continuously shoot them even if they are blue so that most of the fish population will not be wiped out due to a chance that Psychosquid will move fast after they again turn red. | |

Carnivore Confusion | |
| Insaniquarium (Video Game) / int_27a58d30 | comment |
Carnivore Confusion: Averted with carnivores, guppycrunchers, and ultravores, as they survive on guppies (the first two) and carnivores (the latter). Also averted with Gash, who happily chomps on one of your guppies from time to time. In the Virtual Tank, it is mentioned that store-bought pets will not eat each other. As a result, rather than chomping on your named guppies, your carnivores feed on the nameless guppies that can be released any time at no cost. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Insaniquarium (Video Game) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: A lot of the pets have this, as told in their stories. Itchy was once an Actual Pacifist artist until his friends got killed by aliens. This motivated him to fight any aliens he comes across. Clyde collects money to pay off his mother's hospital bill. All unspent funds at the end of a level go to paying it off. Wadsworth was once addicted to plankton, resulting in his friends leaving him and him losing his muscle control and swallowing the fish in his mouth. He had 4 years of rehab before returning to his job. Blip was hated by his neighbor fish for his psychic abilities, so he didn't tell them about an incoming alien attack and let them all get eaten. He felt bad about this, so he vowed to use his abilities only for good. Gash and Itchy used to be friends, until Itchy left Gash for dead in an alien attack. | |

Money Sink | |
| Insaniquarium (Video Game) / int_3202932e | comment |
Money Sink: Aside from Nimbus, Tank 4 places a much higher price threshold for you to buy the pet egg and therefore pass the level. For comparison, Amp is only the tank's second pet, yet his price ($75,000) is already more than double the most expensive pet before then (Rhubarb, who costs $35,000). All of the bonus pets require investment in both time and patience, as they can only be bought using shells and they are not cheap. | |

Psychic Powers: Blip opens buying options and reveals when fish are hungry, when aliens are about to attack, and aliens' hit-points. He was also able to sense a bad feeling at the bottom of a tank; the other fish in the tank were jerks to him, though, and so he didn't bother telling. Then, an alien came and ate all the fish. Blip felt guilty after that and vow that he will only use his powers for the benefit of everyone. | |

The Usual Adversaries | |
| Insaniquarium (Video Game) / int_87854c3d | comment |
The Usual Adversaries: The aliens. They constantly warp into your tank with the sole purpose of eating/killing your fish, and don't stop coming until everything in the tank is dead. Most of them don't have a reason for why they're doing this beyond being evil space-aliens. Apparently, their rampage isn't a new thing, as they figure into the backstories of several of your pets. | |

Joke Character | |
| Insaniquarium (Video Game) / int_8f1ec2c5 | comment |
Joke Character: Rhubarb is the most useless pet in the game: his niche (repelling fish from the bottom of the tank) is at best a non-issue not worth dedicating a pet for, and at worst actively detrimental since the third tank has groundborne Guppy Crunchers that eat Guppies for higher payout, but can't do that if Rhubarb is constantly scaring away those fish. Even the developers know this: according to his story, Rhubarb isn't really for the attention, he just hates when fish are at the bottom of the tank. | |

Death by Gluttony: Gus is an alien that is immune to lasers. Thankfully, he loves to eat! Enough to gobble all the food the player gives him. Until he explodes. | |

Elite Mooks | |
| Insaniquarium (Video Game) / int_9edbda07 | comment |
Elite Mooks: Every alien beyond Sylvester and Balrog. All have distinct roars, distinct signatures, and need a little more strategy to defeat beyond "shoot until dead". Gus is immune to laser fire, and has to be fed with fish food until he explodes. Destructor stays at the bottom of the tank and fires missiles that need to be shot down. Psychosquid occasionally turns blue and passive, and will regain health if shot. Ulysses fights similarly to Destructor, except he fires energy balls that need to be reflected back at him. Both of Bilaterus's heads must be destroyed to kill him. | |

Blip was hated by his neighbor fish for his psychic abilities, so he didn't tell them about an incoming alien attack and let them all get eaten. He felt bad about this, so he vowed to use his abilities only for good. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Insaniquarium (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The hunger timer will pause during an alien attack, so you won't have to worry about fish starving while you can't feed them. If all guppies were killed by Amp and turned into Nostradamus as long as there are no other fish types, and all of the player's fish have died in Tank 1-1 if playing for the first time, the game will spawn a free baby guppy instead of losing the level which are the ways or methods of emptying the tank without causing a game over. Other means or situations of emptying the tank (i.e. Gash eats the last guppy as long as there are no other types of fish present in the tank, Shrapnel kills the last fish in the tank, all fish died of hunger, all fishes/pets killed/eaten by aliens (with the latter in Tank 5), and all guppies have died in further playthrough of Tank 1-1), however, will end the game in a loss. | |
