Snapshot Aquarium
About
Snapshot Aquarium is an aquarium sim with skill-based photo challenges.
It's for people who love fish and aquascaping—but want something more engaging than just feeding (or selling) fish every day. It’s calm, but not idle: patience and timing matter.
Shoot with patience: the photo mechanics reward waiting for the right moment, clean focus, and species combos.
Build cozy habitats: keep your fish thriving and get a higher rank in the online gallery to draw more visitors.
Share & explore: publish your tank and visit creations from players around the world.
A long-term project
I've been tinkering on Snapshot Aquariumfor for over 10 years, and I’d love your support to keep adding features for many more. This is a calm, craft-at-your-pace project—built to grow with the community.
