Create your own aquascape and watch it grow. Arrange aquatic plants, rocks, and driftwood, then welcome fish and shrimp into your aquarium. Feed your inhabitants, change the water, remove algae, and trim plants one at a time. Your care earns points as your collection grows. Discover more than 100 aquatic plant varieties, collect inhabitants, and track your progress with the collection and plant growth chart. Keep extra plants and inhabitants at the farm, and enjoy the changing scenery around the pond. Explore your aquarium in full screen with a sense of depth. Adjust your view and watch the light shimmer across the water and substrate. Your aquarium is saved on your device. Export and import JSON save files when you want to move a copy between compatible versions. Cloud synchronization is not included. Optional rewarded video ads are available when you choose to watch them. Real-product shopping links may include affiliate advertising; availability depends on the supported market. Discover 122 aquatic plant varieties, 269 fish species and varieties, and 77 shrimp color and pattern variations. Counts include selected varieties and color forms. Undiscovered species remain silhouettes until you acquire them. English common names or scientific names are used for your collection. Catch 26 insect species and color forms around the farm, watch eggs grow through larvae and pupae, and try insect sumo or safe practice battles. Explore the greenhouse and pond, store extra inhabitants, and follow their growth. The breeding and care rules are game simulations. Display your aquascape in home screen widgets, or select an adult for Dynamic Island on supported iPhones. Widget image updates are managed by iOS. Choose from nine interface languages in Settings: Japanese, English, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Hindi, Arabic, and Turkish. In non-Japanese interfaces, collection names use English common names or scientific names. Shopping-country selection uses the App Store region when available, with a device-region fallback and manual override. Affiliate shopping links are shown only for configured markets; overseas affiliate services are still being prepared. Discover 11 newt types, including rare Full Red and two Gold forms. Watch externally gilled larvae grow into pixel-art young and high-definition adults. Successful breeding between two adults of the same lineage produces two to four larvae. Healthy adults can be sold for in-game points. Watch newts float near the surface or in midwater, sink gently, and return to walking, resting, or swimming. Tap an angel left after a resident dies to dismiss it individually in care or full-screen view. Place accent plants on driftwood and branch tips; attached plants follow the material when it moves or rotates. Shrimp climb plants, rocks and wood, while young and adult newts climb rocks and wood. When the aquarium is full, new arrivals and newborns move automatically to available farm space or the pond, preserving residents, ages and genetics. ## Is Aquarium Project safe?

Plant unlock history now clearly shows that a plant has been unlocked and a small plant received. Fish now face their destination before swimming. We improved feeding, return movements after eating, and repeated turns to reduce sideways sliding. Your existing aquascape, animals, growth, inventory, points, and saved data are preserved. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-18 Newts now walk farther forward across the substrate with a slower gait. Added dedicated sprites with relaxed, dangling limbs for floating and gentle sinking, and refined the tail shape of the Amami gold newt. Restored a black background for inhabitants in Dynamic Island and made their swimming motion and pose changes easier to see. Fixed an issue where sound effects and gacha audio could stop playing on iPhone. Improved audio recovery at startup and when returning to the app. Shrimp and newts climb plants, driftwood, and rocks less often. Shrimp now pause at selected perches to graze, then climb down and return to their usual movement. We also improved repeated turning along leaves and branches. Your existing aquascapes, inhabitants, ages, genetics, points, and save data are preserved. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-16 Expanded the interface to nine languages. Added Full Red, Okinawa Gold, and Amami Gold newts, bringing the collection to 11 newt types. Newts grow from larvae during their first 49 days to pixel-art young for 14 days, then high-definition adults from day 63. Successful breeding between adults of the same lineage produces two to four larvae, and healthy adults can be sold for in-game points. Improved newt floating, gentle sinking, and transitions to walking, plus full-screen transitions. Refined algae rendering and individual plant trimming. In poor water conditions, animal movement weakens gradually and recovers smoothly from the same position after a water change. Existing inhabitants, ages, genetics, ownership, and saves are preserved. Fixed an issue that could stop the aquarium display while newts walked or floated. Tap an angel left after a resident dies to dismiss it individually in care or full-screen view. Place accent plants on driftwood and branch tips; attached plants follow the material when it moves or rotates. Shrimp climb plants, rocks and wood, while young and adult newts climb rocks and wood. When the aquarium is full, new arrivals and newborns move automatically to available farm space or the pond, preserving residents, ages and genetics. Fixed an issue that could prevent plants and residents from appearing at startup. Improved performance and saving during repeated trimming, and added Trim All to shorten all plants by one step. Reduced rendering work in the care view while preserving moving light and residents. Newts now spend more time walking along the bottom, with occasional swimming and climbing on rocks or thick parts of driftwood. They slowly approach food after it settles, then make three mouth movements before eating. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-14 Japanese and English display options, English common names and scientific names, and a shopping-country setting have been added. This update also improves aquarium depth and landscape viewing, animal selection and movement, total ownership counts, silhouettes for undiscovered species, individual plant trimming, widgets, and Dynamic Island. Added gradual growth for larger species. The breeding tank shows a growth limit, while animals in the farm or pond can reach their species-specific maximum size. A confirmation appears before transfer because animals that outgrow the breeding tank cannot return. Individuals at maximum size sell for twice the normal buyback price. ### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-13 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Aquarium Project | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [NEBULRUSH](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/nebulrush/id6823057034) | — | Free | Games | | [Block Passing](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/block-passing/id6483494702) | — | Free | Games | | [Play Tag Building](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/play-tag-building/id1516433127) | 3.0 (2) | Free | Games | | [AquaPlants](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/aquaplants/id1545761159) | 4.7 (47) | Free | Games | | [Fantasy Life i](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fantasy-life-i/id6760401505) | 4.5 (57) | $24.99 | Games | | [RidePods - Race with Head](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ridepods-race-with-head/id6752268828) | 3.3 (18) | Free | Games | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
