Tap. Breed. Collect. Fish Clicker is a relaxed idle game about turning one lonely fish into an ocean full of them. Tap the big fish to earn coins. Spend them on eggs in the shop, and every fish you hatch keeps earning for you — even while the app is closed. CROSS TWO FISH, GET A NEW ONE Put two fish together in a breeding tank and wait. The egg hatches into a species you didn't have before. There are more than 100 fish to find and 92 crossings to discover: the collection shows the ones you're missing as silhouettes, so you always know what's left. WATCH OUT FOR THE LEECHES Leeches turn up and eat into what you earn per tap. Squash them fast or your coins stop coming. WHAT'S IN THE GAME • More than 100 fish to hatch, breed and collect • 3 breeding tanks running at the same time • Passive income while you play, and up to 8 hours of offline earnings • Levels, multiplier bubbles and 10 trophies to unlock • Special fish that only show up at certain hours, on Sundays, or when you're online • Five languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Danish and Norwegian FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE No purchases of any kind, ever. If you want a boost you can watch an ad — double coins, faster breeding, triple experience — but you never have to. Perfect for short breaks: tap for a minute, close the app and come back to a fuller aquarium.

Aquarium is an aquarium the child draws. DRAW YOUR OWN FISH In The Fish Workshop you pick species, colour, pattern, body, fins, tail, eyes and temperament. Eight species — fish, eel, pufferfish, flounder, seahorse, betta, angelfish and ray — combine with eight patterns. The fish you draw is exactly the fish that swims. LOOK AFTER THEM Feed pellets, flakes, worms or algae treats — different species want different things. Pet them, tickle them, scrub the glass, decorate with plants, rocks, shells, chests, caves and castles. No fish can get sick, none can die, nothing can be done wrong. THEY GROW UP AND HAVE BABIES Every fish passes through five life stages, from fry to the elder of the pond. Two fish who become friends may leave eggs, and the baby inherits its parents' colour and shape — sometimes in a pattern the workshop cannot make. THE POND KEEPS LIVING Weather drifts on its own, the season follows the real calendar, and night falls when it actually falls. Come back after a few days and something will have happened while you were away. COLLECT AND DISCOVER A discovery book, a treasure shelf and a case of every fish combination fill in as you play. New furniture arrives by itself the more care you give. SHARE Make a card of your favourite fish, or a family photo of the whole school. FOR PARENTS No ads. No tracking. Nothing is collected — the app contains no networking code at all and works entirely offline. No timers, no failure states, no daily quests nagging for attention. Free to start. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited fish of your own — no subscriptions. Everything you see is drawn by the app itself and everything you hear is synthesised live. The bubbling of the tank is even tuned to the colours of your fish.
