### 5/5 — 楽しい

*2025-12-29*

他の方のレビューを見ると、成長するにつれかなり厳つい感じになるようですが、まだ25センチほどなので、とてもかわいいです。
カッコいいかなと思い泳ぐところを見てみたくて、化石を叩きまくってダンクルオステウスを放ってみたら、顔が怖過ぎて数秒で水槽から出しました。
古代生物たちの泳ぐ姿もなかなか楽しくて気に入っています。
シーラカンスが育って怪物みたいになったら、耐えられそうならそのままで、きつかったらちょっとかわいそうですが健康のためにしばらく断食してもらって、小さな姿に戻ってもらおうと思います。本当に生きているわけではないので、姿を選べるところもいいですね。

### 2/5 — 生物がもっと欲しい

*2025-10-19*

エーギロカシスがいるだけで満足ですが、ドレパナスピスとドリアスピスが欲しい｡後は、アランダスピスもいたら最高。クシファクティヌスがいるならノトサウルスも欲しかった｡

### 5/5 — 古代魚仲間を増やしてほしい

*2025-08-07*

いつのまにかLLサイズ👑になり巨大化してダンクルオステウスより強そうに変貌 笑
今でもたまにログインして死なないようにエサ🐟をあげている
画面タップするとドアップで❤︎出しながら寄って来るのが可愛くてアンストできない笑
一緒に水槽泳がせられる匹数増やしてほしいです

### 5/5 — The best fish game EVERRRRR

*2024-06-06*

This game has companions and it’s such a steal with backgrounds good job

### 3/5 — 大きい‥‥‥

*2023-06-02*

今年3月からシーラくんを飼っていますが、何だか最近大きくなり過ぎた気がします。こちらに向かってくる顔は何だかグロテスク。
もうすぐ水槽より大きくなりそう‥‥‥。どうしましょう？ 

小さくする方法なんてないでしょうね‥‥‥。
昔は可愛かったのになあ。

### 3/5 — 可愛い

*2022-06-17*

可愛くて毎日癒されてます！
シーラカンス以外にも水槽に入れることができるので入れる生き物によって雰囲気も変わるのでとてもいいと思います！

1つ改善していただきたいのが、ショップで購入する仲間たちのサイズ感がとても気になりました。
特にアノマロカリスとハルキゲニアです。
アノマロカリス　全長約60cm
ハルキゲニア　全長約2cm
と、大きく差があるのにほぼ同じサイズなのが違和感ありました。それ以外の仲間たちも同様です。ただ、リアルサイズにしてしまうと小さくて見えなくなってしまうと思うので少しサイズ感を変えるくらいがベストなのかなと思いました。

### 3/5 — 新しい仲間

*2021-07-31*

増えたりしないのかな。
