Tiny Aquarium: Social Fishkeeping Steam Review

Tiny Aquarium: Social Fishkeeping is a small title from Lunheim Studios with a straightforward concept. One, they were nice enough to send me to check out, and I always appreciate that.

The idea is to let you build your own virtual fish tank. You can buy eggs of different qualities, and they hatch into random fish. And don’t worry, while you can separate them into fresh or salt water, you don’t have to. The fish won’t even eat each other. This is a stress-free environment for you and the fish.

My tank, someone reacted to it.

Other people can come and visit your tank and leave little reactions if they enjoy it, and you can do the same for them. It is a nice touch that there are sometimes rewards for doing. You can’t spam the reactions ( you are limited to about 5 a day), but you can view all the tanks you want.

A group of us are fishing

Another nice touch, if not a bit unethical, is the ability to get a group together to go fishing. This seems to increase your odds of catching more rare fish to toss in your tank. (Don’t do this in real life)

/ So what are my thoughts? The game costs $5 and has the option to just sit on the bottom of your screen while you do work, or you can focus on it when you have some time to kill. The graphics are cute, and it functions very well. I wish I didn’t have to spend so much in-game money just upgrading my tank to keep more fish, or that it was easier to get the decorations I want, but the game is great for what it is meant to be, an easy 9/10 must buy for this genre. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
