Little Fishies on Facebook

From , former About.com Guide

Like aquariums? With all those little fishies, and big fishies swimming around. Soothing, right? Now on Facebook you can have your own aquarium, complete with fish. What's even better is that you can send fish to your friends, sharks and octopus too. Of course that means they can send fish to you as well.

Sending fish to your friends will be lots of fun. You can choose from a variety of fish including several different colors of star fish, a sword fish, a shark or an octopus. They all do something different when put into the aquarium too.
