The lowest price: 17.95$
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Pros:
Excellent texture and lighting effects as well as realistic fish animations. Allows for active desktop capabilities. Allows you to configure some aspects such as fish types/number and background. Did I mention you can feed the fish?
Cons:
Runs a bit slow when it is in active desktop mode. The price is reasonable, slightly above what I would pay for a screen saver if I were to even purchase one.
Review:

An excellent product in terms of quality within its category. If you are looking for a good quality aquarium screen saver, it should no undoubtedly be this one. It is very customizable, you can choose from a variety of fish and how many you would like; you can choose the background as well.

The graphics are excellent and the animation is very realistic, it feels like you can almost put your hand in the monitor and touch the fish. It provides a nice vibrant atmosphere for your desktop with its active desktop capabilities. This simply replaces the background with this screen saver, it looks stunning.

However, you may notice a performance difference with slower computers when using the active desktop feature. I don't feel that this is a very big issue but it is definitely something to consider. It also has water sound to add to the atmosphere to make it feel more realistic.

You can also feed the fish and they respond to the food by trying to eat it before the other fish. This really adds to the uniqueness of this product, there are not many screen savers that allow you to interact with the user. That is why this product deserves excellent in terms of quality.

Conclusion:

If you want a high quality fish aquarium screen saver with the capability of allowing it to be an active desktop and you have some extra cash to spend, this might be right for you. But since, its just a screen saver, I would not recommend purchasing this product. Even if the screen saver was $5, I would not purchase it. It's only a screen saver, I shouldn't have to spend money on this type of software as it is of little to no benefit to me beside the fact that it will amuse me for about 3 minutes.
