Aqualy is the first aquarium app with real AI built in. Scan your water test strip with your camera, identify any fish from a photo, and get instant expert advice from an AI assistant that actually understands your tank. No more guessing what your test strip colors mean. No more Googling fish symptoms at midnight. No more forgetting when you last did a water change. SCAN YOUR WATER TEST STRIP Point your camera at any standard test strip and Aqualy reads pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, GH, KH, and chlorine in seconds. No manual entry. No color chart squinting. Just accurate results with a confidence score you can trust. IDENTIFY ANY FISH INSTANTLY See a fish you don't recognize? Snap a photo. Aqualy identifies the species and gives you everything you need to know — care level, adult size, temperament, diet, and compatible tank mates. Works for freshwater and saltwater species. ASK THE AI ASSISTANT Something wrong with your fish? Water looking cloudy? Not sure if two species can live together? Ask Aqualy's AI assistant like you'd ask an experienced fishkeeper friend. It gives you real, actionable advice — not generic articles. TRACK EVERY TANK Log daily water parameters, feeding schedules, and tank photos. See your tank's health over time with a simple calendar view. Whether you keep one betta bowl or a full fish room, everything stays organized in one place. DAILY PHOTO LOG Take a daily photo of your tank and build a visual timeline. Spot changes you'd miss day-to-day. See how your aquascape evolves over weeks and months. LEARN FROM EXPERTS Browse curated articles and take quizzes to level up your fishkeeping knowledge. From beginner basics like cycling a new tank to advanced topics like reef chemistry — there's always something new to learn. BUILT FOR EVERY FISHKEEPER Aqualy works with freshwater, saltwater, planted, and reef tanks. Whether you're setting up your first 10-gallon or managing a 200-gallon reef, Aqualy adapts to your needs. Aqualy does not replace professional test kits, but it gives you a faster, smarter way to stay on top of your aquarium care — every single day. Your fish can't tell you when something's wrong. Aqualy can.
