Since I’m sure that somebody out there still doesn’t know about the good news, I created a Crossover Bottle with the Dream Aquarium Trial version inside.
The Trial version of DA is very functional, has no time limit and has only few limitations. For example: you cannot add or remoe any fish but the Aquarium can stay turned on for as much as you like. A lot of others options reguarding the available Aquarium Tanks are not available too. In any case, you can download and install this bottle with very few passages, as described in my updated How-To in the Dream Aquarium Forum.
You can find the bottle here or in the How-to itself. Be sure to read Chapter 1 of my how-to even if you’re confident with Crossover and Wine Bottles, because you have to set the resolution of your screen using regedit.
There’s another good news too! Since Crossover works under Mac OSX too, the Crossover Bottle I provide should work under Mac OSX too if you install it into Crossover! I haven’t tested this yetsince I havent’ got a Mac Intel to run Crossover but you can Try it out and give me your feedback here!
Of course, I have the permission of Spiral Monkey, the author of Dream Aquarium, to redistribute and spread around this Linux version of DA. Or better: this crossover bottle containing a windows version of DA thaht works perfectly under your Linux Box with a decent 3D card setted up 🙂
Have fun and give me back your feedbacks! I’m availabe for any help requests.

Thank you, I have tried that bottle on my Mac with Crossover Games 7 and it’s working 🙂
Too bad that the latest upgrade doesn’t work with Crossover 🙁
I’m very sorry Cesco but tehre’s nothing I can do about it in that time 🙁
I’m too busy with OpenGEU.
Could it be that you are Italian? I guessed that maybe you are by the name 😉
Thank you for this. Dream Aquarium was one of the few apps that I missed after switching to Linux. The program runs perfectly on Ubuntu Intrepid. Do you know if it is possible to actually run the program as a screensaver, initiated by the OS?
Hello:
I can not get to the website for your dream aquarium crossover bottle. Could you please email it to me at b4burak@yahoo.com?
I have used it in the past but can’t get to the download.
Thank you
The bottle has gone lost with all my data on that server during a Linux migration… like Art of Cappuccino. Sorry.
Do you mean to say that after tantalizing us with the awesome potential of Dream Aquarium running on our linux boxes that the crossover bottle is nowhere to be found? Say it isn’t so!!
I’m sorry man, the guide is quite old and I had problems with my server some time ago, during a switch from Windows to Linux, I lost all my data and I cannot find the bottle anymore… guess I’ll create a new one for you. Slowly people are asking for all my files and guides uploaded on the server to be back online :
I’ll try to fix this situation as soon as I can.
