i am new to zoo admin...but i have a ?....in mm2 the ambient fish and jellyfish swim around on the ground after i have gotten rid of the water...is this normal?

Probably just a glitch or it takes a while to process that the water is gone

Has anybody noticed that the remora attaches itself to the animals?

I s'pose that helps with, A) Keeping the animals healthy and B) Keeping the game realistic.

Wow,I never noticed that except one time a guest said: "Look, the remora is cleaning Manta 1!" or something like that. I thought it was just a random comment. :tv_happy:

yeah my guests have said the same thing and i had no idea wut they were talkin about

I noticed the remora on my sea turtle, I thought is was the coolest think. Also, in the dark ocean biome (can't remember the name, the whale shark's) there are little tiny organisms floating around. At least, I think thats what they are.

seaworldgurl1 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 27, 2006, 05:29:23 PM »

yeah, i have noticed in the reef biome that there are small organisms floating around in the water. they are white and sort of transparent

tazlover · « **Reply #9 on:** November 28, 2006, 10:02:06 PM »

Those small organisms probably mean that the water is not as clean as it could be.

seaworldgurl1 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 29, 2006, 12:58:25 PM »

i always thought they were like little jellyfish...ya know...like in the ocean??

wolfkid92 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 29, 2006, 01:15:06 PM »

or you might have the plankton feeder around. the plankton feeder has lil plankton floating around it.

seaworldgurl1 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 29, 2006, 01:56:25 PM »

no..i wasn't using the plankton feeder...it was a bottlenose dolphin exhibit (they like the reef bimoe too!) i think that the "organisms" are just ambient animals

mikaboshi · « **Reply #13 on:** November 29, 2006, 02:00:28 PM »

Well, I notice those little organisms when the water is dirty. There are no files for ambient amoebas.

Crookshankz227 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 29, 2006, 08:05:06 PM »

They're always there in my game - I think they're just there in the water, like the bubbles? I thought they were little organisms like there are in nature.

tazlover · « **Reply #15 on:** November 30, 2006, 06:42:33 PM »

If you don't have a filter installed when you see these organisms, go to the surface and clean the water manually. When you drop back underwater, you can watch the things fade away until the water is clear again.

seaworldgurl1 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 01, 2006, 12:55:41 PM »

ok...ive done that...doesn't work...i don't know...i'll just think they're "organisms" (i like the idea of organisms) and I clean my water in EVERY exhibit when i go down into guest mode....idk...probably a glitch or sumthin

Tazzie-Tiger99 · « **Reply #17 on:** December 03, 2006, 12:50:29 PM »

how do the MM ambients actually work

do they just appear when u put in the biome for an exibit or something... i only have the demo and i noticed that if you drain an exibit the ambients dissapear but when i refilled it they didnt reappear

also they dont disapear normally like the land ambients which is way cool

i cant really help with the "organisms" questions but i think it may be bacteria or other small life they come out when the tank is dirty

like when in a dirty fishtank there are little creatures scurrying around the bottom under the gravel

or they are bubbles, shrimp, or some other tiny ambient, or are an odd glitch

i dont exactly know how filters and cleaning tanks work anyways so thats all i can offer

tazlover · « **Reply #18 on:** December 03, 2006, 09:37:59 PM »

Yes, the ambients will appear when the appropriate biome is added. As for the water ambients - it can be some time before they appear, even longer than for the land versions.

seaworldgurl1 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 04, 2006, 02:19:37 PM »

oh yeah...one thing...i was watching an "organism" float in the water....and it eventually faded away like regular ambients

Tazzie-Tiger99 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 04, 2006, 04:34:00 PM »

ok.... i think i understand now how these new ambients work

so say i have a tundra tank with a few crabs.... but then i change it to coastal will then in a few minuetes remora and lionfish appear

also what do u mean for land.... iff u change the entire biome of a map you will get different ambients like going from a temperate forest map with squirrels and redoing the map so it is all desert will spring hare appear and squirrels dissappear??

wolfkid92 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 06, 2006, 06:37:47 PM »

no land ambients dont change, they appear on the biome of the map. water ambients appear in the biome of the water so that your tanks will be populated.

Tazzie-Tiger99 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 08, 2006, 04:33:01 PM »

o thats cool..... so iff i wanted to change the ambients in a tank i could change it to another biome then change back right

also how come when i am decoratin a tank some of my ambients seem to dissapear

seaworldgurl1 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 09, 2006, 08:47:32 AM »

maybe because the ambients are programed to need a certain amount of space in a tank or body of water to work....when you start adding stuff it probably takes up some of that space!

oh also, i have noticed that with all the exps, the land ambients change when you paint a different biome...example: i was on the large grassland map & i made a wetlands exhibit and the bullfrog appeared only where i painted wetlands

Crookshankz227 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 09, 2006, 08:51:33 AM »

I think I got a squirrel on the coastal map, so I think you might be correct!
