Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Encyclopedia at 50% against AquariumManager Pro's 0%. Encyclopedia also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). AquariumManager Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
