AquaBloom

Read full description

AquaBloom is a calm, living aquarium you grow at your own pace. Feed your fish, keep them happy, and watch your tank flourish — a single guppy today, a collection of rare elemental species tomorrow. Your fish keep living, growing, and earning coins even while the app is closed. Come back to a friendly "welcome home" and a tank that missed you. THREE WAYS TO GROW YOUR COLLECTION • Shop — buy new species with the coins your fish earn. • Breed — pair two adults and hatch something new. Combine elemental variants for rarer results, or cross different species for surprising hybrids… including a few secret ones. • Catch — use a fish as bait to lure wild fish into your tank. The rarer your bait, the better your odds of hooking something special. ELEMENTAL FISH Every species can appear in a dazzling variant — Ember, Frost, Leaf, Storm, Steam, and the legendary Rainbow. Rarer fish earn far more, but they're hungrier, so a thriving tank is a balancing act. BUILD A TANK WITH CHARACTER • Up to six tanks, each holding a community of fish. • Place plants and hardscape wherever you like, and choose from tank themes that change the whole mood — Classic, Blackwater, Coral Reef, Planted, Coldwater. • Set each tank's temperature and calm the water with the right decor, so even feisty fish can live together — and pay a bonus for the risk. KEEP THE PEACE Fish have real temperaments. Crowd the wrong ones together and tempers flare — but the right plants, layout, and tankmates keep everyone content. No fish is ever lost to anything you can't prevent. DISCOVER THEM ALL A built-in collection log tracks every fish and variant you've found — your scoreboard for chasing the rarest catches and breeds. • No accounts. • Plays fully offline. • Your progress stays on your device. Pull up a chair, drop in some food, and watch your aquarium bloom.
