You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Pros:
Nice 3D, beautiful sunlight hitting the ground, usually smooth performance, fast opening and closing time.
Cons:
Costs way too much for a screen saver, sometimes glitchy, some really pointless options.
Review:

Looks
Aqua Real look very flashy with it's 3D fish and bubbly scenery. The light glancing down on the water almost looks real, but not quite. The fish look very real and respond when you touch them, but all they do is turn. They should have added some more features such as diving and maybe bumping into the screen.
Options
You have the option to customize the background so that it fades from color to color. This is a nice feature. You can also change the amount and type of fish on the screen, which I find unnecessary, because they all look good. You can also turn of and on a frog noise, kind of pointless.
Game Play
All you do is pet the fish and feed them, but then again, it is just a screensaver, so it's all right. You can also right click on the screen to bring up a small box with food, settings, and exit options. The food is just a bunch of little brown dots, not very imaginative.
Performance
Aqua Real launches fairly fast and closes instantly. There is one problem though, the first few times I launched it, it worked smoothly. But then the next time I launched it, it was extremely glitchy, like it was missing a ton of frames. Other than that, it was pretty smooth.

Conclusion:

I think you should get this demo and play around with it. It's really not the type of software to buy, just way to expensive for what you get. Overall though, it is very nice. Go download the demo, you will like it!
