### 4/5 — LOVE the game, hate the forced ads

*2026-07-03, version 1.18.12*

The game as a whole is amazing, but I hate the fact that they have forced advertisements that you have to sit through to continue. There is a feature that allows you to earn a “fish dollar” by watching one ad - they should give a “fish dollar” with each forced ad as well.

### 4/5 — WHAT?!

*2026-06-26, version 1.18.12*

I just got to level 5 and unlocked jellyfish but instead of unlocking it with the pink stars (don’t know what they are) like when I unlocked the saltwater tank it said 2000 coins. What happened to what I bought? Did it not go through?

### 4/5 — Gutes Spiel aber zu viel Werbung

*2026-06-05*

Ich mag das Spiel gern aber ab Lvl.4 hab ich ständig Werbung. Alle 3-4 Minuten. Das ist super nervig und ich kann nicht mal ein günstiges AD Blocker kaufen. Bin am überlegen es deswegen wieder zu löschen wenn da keine Lösung kommt

### 3/5 — Good

*2026-05-31, version 1.18.10*

I have to say this game can be a bit grindy but I have made amazing progress, I have a jelly aquarium, but im not sure why people cannot catch fish, I already caught like 10 or more fish but they were never free, but it’s still an amazing game🐠🐠🦈🦈🐋🐟🐋🐠 also there is rude developers, beware.

### 3/5 — Great game, but…

*2026-03-07, version 1.18.10*

I love the graphics and the realism of this game. The selection of fish is delightful.  However, earning coins is very slow and my aquariums look quite bare because I can’t afford decor. There needs to be a better selection of backgrounds, as well.  But my biggest complaint are the ads. They pop up every 3 minutes and take at least that long to wait through.  I spend more time watching ads than playing. I’ve found it’s faster to close the game when an ad pops up and re-enter, but doing that every 3 minutes gets old fast. I’m at level 7 and I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to stick with it.

### 4/5 — Pretty good but not as good

*2026-01-24, version 1.18.10*

Fish farm 3 is good but they don’t have axolotls and sharks are fish but normal fish live in the ocean too.

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-18, version 1.18.10*

They have a huge fish selection, not to mention that they also have whales sharks and more!!! This is a great game!!!!

### 4/5 — Could use a tweak

*2025-07-31, version 1.18.9*

All and all the fish details are really good but tangs like the powdered brown tang have off center eyes

### 3/5 — Bug

*2025-07-30, version 1.18.9*

Every time I open the app after using it for a day it just doesn’t open anymore

### 4/5 — Great game

*2025-05-31, version 1.18.9*

Shallow run has so much potential

### 5/5 — !the best

*2025-04-07, version 1.18.9*

Best

### 3/5 — Good at first

*2025-03-16, version 1.18.9*

I enjoyed playing this game until I reached the higher levels. After about level 75 it becomes very boring unless you have lots of dollars to spend. If you want to spend money on a game, this is a good one… but if you want to play for free then it will not be much fun for long.

### 2/5 — Glitches

*2025-03-09, version 1.18.9*

It constantly freeze one tank to where I can not feed my fish. It causes them to become sick and it makes the value of my tank plummet. I wanted to uninstall and reinstall to see if that would help it, but I'd lose all progress since the game won't allow me to actually log into any socials so I can save where I'm at.

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2025-03-05, version 1.18.9*

I’ve had this game for a couple of years and it is absolutely amazing. My one suggestion would be to add some other types of animals like shrimp, crabs, or aquatic frogs. Overall amazing game.

### 1/5 — Why Ads After 7 Years

*2026-06-13, version 1.18.11*

I have been enjoying this game so much and have kept my fish alive for 7 years without spending any real money at all!  Was feeling kind of attached to my virtual fish and felt compelled to keep them “alive.”  But in the last couple of months ads have interrupted feeding time.  For 6 years, I was able to feed the fish without any ad interruptions.  Why now?  My pleasant feeding experience always now gets interrupted by a vulgar ad that has profanity and pornographic content.  Not worth even 7 years….unless, are you going to restore to the way it was?  I am about to delete…..feeding my cute fish is not worth being flashed with the (“I’m going to f—- multiple partners”) visual every single time, did not sign up to look at that.  It’s time to say goodbye to them, they wouldn’t have lived 7 years in real life anyway :(

### 1/5 — Pop up ads

*2026-04-27, version 1.18.10*

Pop up ads

### 1/5 — Was nice

*2026-01-08, version 1.18.10*

The game was nice before you added all these junk ads

### 1/5 — HELP!

*2025-04-16, version 1.18.9*

So, I’ve been using this app for several years. Bought all of the upgrades, backed up to the cloud. My iPad died a few weeks back, and I backed up everything before I replaced it. Now, it refuses to restore from the iCloud, and the game won’t let me send a support email. Please help me fix this!!!

### 1/5 — Ужасно

*2024-08-16*

Вообще непродуманно приложение, половина аквариумов нет возможности приобрести декорации,фильтра и т.д а сама игра это требует, как так? Сами себе противоречат, максимально странная игра!

### 1/5 — Не продумано

*2024-08-02, version 1.18.8*

Аквариум с медузами вообще непродуманный, пишет низкое здоровье добавьте предметы, фильтры и т.д   А по итогу ничего нет не декораций не кислорода, одна губка и уголь и всё, ужасно не продумана игра!

### 1/5 — HOW DO YOU EVEN GET SKILL POINTS AND XP?

*2024-06-24, version 1.18.8*

I was playing until I FORGOT HOW TO GET SKILL POINTS AND XP

### 1/5 — You have to BUY the fish!

*2024-03-11, version 1.18.8*

Sorry, my cats will have to make do playing with the physical toys we have bought for them.

### 1/5 — Fish will get sick if you don’t pay.

*2024-01-30, version 1.18.8*

Could be great if you did not have to have to pay money or try to be tricked into giving out personal data to keep your fish healthy.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2023-12-02, version 1.18.8*

A total lack of respect, they promote you some survey to earn fish $ and it is a lie that you complete it and they don't give you anything. I contacted you and if you responded that you can't do anything because it's from third parties because they promote it then and they waste their time. players completely disrespectful towards all of us

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER!! DOWNLOAD NOW IF YOU LIKE FISH!!!

*2026-07-19, version 1.18.12*

i LOVE this game SO much i am not even exaggerating i play it all day and night. ok now i usually hate mobile games but this one is actually different!!! its just like taking care of real fish and its so fun playing minigames and unlocking new fish stuffs!!! one thing i wish this game had tho is an unlimited amount of fish/tanks you can have :(

### 5/5 — Short and sweet

*2026-05-22*

Very nice superb game idea. This is my favourite game

### 5/5 — Phantastisches Spiel 😃

*2026-03-29*

Vielseitig und realistisch, die Fische sind sehr detailgetreu und verhalten sich wie echte. Man merkt auch bei längerem Beobachten nicht, dass es eine Simulation ist.
Mit etwas Geduld kann man es komplett spielen, ohne echtes Geld auszugeben (dann muss man allerdings spätestens alle zwei Tage füttern, sonst werden die Fische krank). Und die Möglichkeiten mit Kreuzen und Färben sind fast unendlich 😃

### 5/5 — My favorite game

*2025-11-16, version 1.18.9*

I love this game It’s an awesome game and when I have free time, I love to play this game if you would like to have fish, but you don’t have any Fish Farm 3 would be the best game for you.

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2025-11-14, version 1.18.9*

I used to have this on my Amazon fire as a 4yr old but lost all my data Im happy now that I’ve got it on my phone it still hurts that I lost my sharks but it’s so much more nostalgic playing again would recommend

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-10-18, version 1.18.9*

### 5/5 — Great

### 5/5 — Fish game

*2025-08-28, version 1.18.9*

### 5/5 — I’m just just leaving

*2025-08-16, version 1.18.9*

I’m just trying not too bad today and

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2025-07-23, version 1.18.9*

It’s overall an amazing game, and it really shows what you can do with aquariums, and it’s slightly educational for those who don’t know much about fish, for example if someone sees a fish and they look up more about them. However, some fish aren’t accurately sized. 

Fish
•Sizing: The sizing is a bit strange with Fish Farm 3, for example an Arowana is the about the same size as a Discus, when in reality, Arowana are about three feet long max, and Discus are about 8 inches max. 6.5/10
•Pricing: Coins truly aren’t an issue, however some fish cost Fish Bucks. I mainly don’t have a problem with that, but I dislike when schooling fish, like the Discus, cost 30-ish Fish Bucks. Fish Bucks are pretty difficult to obtain/earn, but it’s pretty much the point. If you log in daily and are a good guess/know the algorithm, you can rack them up fast. 7/10

Leveling/Currency
•Leveling is generally straightforward, EXP showing up top in a bar and showing how far you have to go until the next level 10/10
•Earning EXP is simple, buy and sell fish and breed/cross-breed fish. Higher levels take forever though. 7.5/10
•Currency is a simple concept, the coins being fairly easy to earn. Fish Bucks, on the other hand are more difficult to earn. Learning the algorithm of the daily reward is pretty simple, but it’ll take a few days to know where the Fish Bucks could be. Overall, currency is fine. 8/10

Aquariums
•Freshwater/Saltwater Aquariums: I like these flat tanks with everything in me, even though the zooming/moving as a little strange. 9.5/10
•Jellyfish/Ocean Aquariums: These tanks are reverse cylinders. I dislike them. I won’t ever purchase these tanks, mainly because of the shape for the Jellyfish, and the shape and the sharks for the Ocean. I love sharks, don’t get me wrong, but Fish Farm 3 could really have just made small aquarium sharks and eels accessible for the Saltwater aquariums. 2/10. 

Stocking: I mean, if you’re educated in what can/can’t go together in a tank, you could make a semi-realistic tank (semi because of the sizing of the fish lol), however if you don’t understand what can/can’t go together, your tank could end up with an Arowana, a school of Zebra Danios, and a few snails. I mean, it’s look nice, but I prefer making realistic tanks. 

Overall: This game is enjoyable and has consumed countless hours of my life. Just goes to show that a good game can corrupt your life. :P
9.5/10

If you read this, you’re cool >:D
