About

Jellyfish Tank

Read full description

A small, quiet aquarium that lives in your pocket. Jellyfish drift, glow, and pulse in the dark water. You can simply watch — the tank asks nothing of you. When you feel like it, care for them: scatter food, clean the water, give them light. Pair two jellies and an egg settles on the rocks. You won't know its color until it grows. The colors follow an old lexicon — Dew, Madder, Cerulean, Amber, Jade, Coral, Lapis, Aster, Aurora. And on moonless nights, once in a great while, something else. - No ads in the tank. Watching is never interrupted. - No subscriptions. No random paid draws. - Time passes gently even while you're away. - Your tank follows you to a new device through iCloud. Raise them slowly. Or just watch the light.
