If you're a big fan of aquarium-themed games - and we know there are plenty of you out there - then here's some news that'll have your tank bubbling in anticipation. Glu Mobile has struck a deal with puzzle-maestros PopCap Games to bring the latter's Insaniquarium Deluxe game to mobile phones.

The PC version, which has done more than 18 million downloads, is a kind of virtual pet game which involves feeding and nurturing fish to make money. Oh, and also to unlock different pets which will fight off alien invaders. So that's what those koi-carp breeders are up to...

In truth, it sounds barmy but PopCap are the people behind recent mobile puzzle titles AstroPop and Zuma, so we'll trust Glu's judgement on this one. Mobile Insaniquarium is due out in April in the US, and should be on an operator portal near you shortly afterwards.
