Desktop Aquarium (2026)

Not much of an idler if all your fish die after a bit of idling.

Eh not so much a "Idle" game when your fish need to be fed every 3-5 minutes. and if you run out of food there is not a way of buying more with the earned coins so all your fish just die and are lost.

Nice and cozy addition to my desktop, a few nitpicks though that would make for a better experience and as of right now kind of ruin the coziness. 1. Fish get hungry too quickly in my opinion. Trying to work on things or play games, every few minutes one of my fish needs to be fed, taking me out of what I am doing. Just writing this point I have been interrupted 3 times needing to feed my fish, maybe make the time difference longer so they don't need to be feed as often. 2. Speaking of hunger, I think it is a huge oversight to not include food in the shop, and relying on RNG and having to wait for the game to "maybe" give me a food drop soon. Add food to the store that I can buy with the coins. 3. I assume that the card colors in the slots follow basic rarity, green uncommon, blue common, pink rare/exotic etc, but to someone who doesn't play games with item rarity it can be very confusing as to what each color means. 4. I was just messing with the resolution and then hit reset game because I thought it would reload the game with the new resolution or something to fix the background not being transparent. To my dismay, it reset the whole game, deleting my progress. You need to make…

This is a really cute game. It's so 90s! 100% recommend.

RNG makes this addictive; your fish can die so be careful when "idling." This keeps you engaged when working on other tasks when you're not simply laying back and watching youtube. Works well with Still Cats; desktop kitties love jumping on top of the aquarium.

This was more part-idle game, but not fully idle. You do need to pay attention to you're fish's hunger level and feed them every couple of minutes. The game does drag if you don't get a decent fish from the slot game within the first few tries. Otherwise it is a good little fish care game that sits on your desktop. No learning curve, no hard gameplay, just simple and colorful.
