Snapshot Aquarium

Snapshot Aquarium is an aquarium sim with skill-based photo challenges.

It's for people who love fish and aquascaping—but want something more engaging than just feeding (or selling) fish every day. It’s calm, but not idle: patience and timing matter.

• Shoot with patience: the photo mechanics reward waiting for the right moment, clean focus, and species combos.
• Build cozy habitats: keep your fish thriving and get a higher rank in the online gallery to draw more visitors.
• Share & explore: publish your tank and visit creations from players around the world.

A long-term project

I've been tinkering on Snapshot Aquariumfor for over 10 years, and I’d love your support to keep adding features for many more. This is a calm, craft-at-your-pace project—built to grow with the community.

What’s in the game today

• Advanced fish AI - Schooling, fleeing, feeding, chasing, growing in near-realtime, basic needs
• Aquarium editing - Over 300 items included already
• Arcade-style photo challenges - from easy (auto-aim, auto-focus), to expert
• Online Community - Share your tank and visit others around the globe
• Snapshot Gallery - Share your best shots online

Planned / wishlist features

• More fish species, more plants, more decorations — more of everything

Love, peace and cheers,
