## About

Zhu Zhu Aquarium is the first known lineup for the 2024 Zhu Zhu Pets rerelease. It's themed around marine animals you'd find in an aquarium or the ocean. This line showed approximately 17 'Zhu Zhu Fish'. It'll be releaseing 6 of them in Spring 2024, and alot more in the future.

## Function

They all seem to make the same aquatic, dolphin-like noise. Their functions are a bit similar to the 2017 Reboot. Their speed is as similar to the 2009 release with a slight boost. Around the nose/mouth is a sensor where it make sounds when you ligthly tap on it (Note that the upcoming Zhu Zhu Aquarium fish packages don't have a "Try Me: Press My Nose" hole. Batteries aren't included with the new lineup) Their head and back button seem to be pretty close to each other. Pressing the head button will activate 'Nurture Mode', which'll play talk sounds for a small period of time. Pressing their back button will make them go to 'Adventure Mode', where they'll run around either in your home, or in their designated playsets. Tilting them on their side will shut them off immediately. The new addition that was added to the 2024 Zhu Zhu Pets is that they'll stop for a bit and play a random sound, then continue on with it's 'adventure' till they spin around. On occasion, they'll play a little song and start dancing around.
