Virtual Tank Mode is a mode of Gameplay in Insaniquarium Deluxe Version. It allows you to grow fish, collect shells, then use shells to buy certain fish that are in the shop that day.

    • update: he was collecting shells for a while really fast at the bottom of the tank until I changed something and I don't know what, but I'm figuring it out, so check back later

Screensaver

You have the option to set your screensaver to your virtual tank. It will run with whatever fish and pets you have selected in the game (but you don't have to have the game running.) The shells collected while the screensaver is running will be added to your user.

There isn't any way for you to feed your fish manually, so you need to set it up to feed your fish and collect the shells automatically. For feeding your fish, Prego and Zorf will feed carnivores and guppies. You can also combine Zorf and Brinkley to feed your Starcatchers. After you buy the Bubblator, Alien Attractor, and Pill upgrade, you have the option to buy Cookie, who will feed all types of fish.
