Aquarist

Aquarist is an aquarium simulator in which you design tanks, care for aquatic animals and manage an aquarium business. Start with a small local shop, complete customer jobs and expand into larger locations, exhibition halls, an aquatic museum and a massive oceanarium.

Design aquariums

Customize freshwater and saltwater tanks with different sizes, layouts, decorations, plants, rocks, backgrounds and equipment. You can use your own photos as aquarium backgrounds, and create anything from nature-inspired aquascapes to underwater exhibits.

Care for aquatic animals

Keep freshwater and saltwater species healthy by maintaining suitable water conditions, feeding them and creating environments where they can thrive. The animals include tropical fish, sharks, rays, sea turtles, octopuses, shrimp, cuttlefish, arapaima and corals, among others.

Run your business

Complete customer orders to earn money, unlock equipment, buy rare fish and decorations, and expand into larger locations. Successful projects help grow your business, while increasing reputation unlocks new buildings and attractions.

Take on aquarium projects

Design aquariums for museums, bars, restaurants, private homes and other locations around the world. Projects include building turtle habitats, creating decorative piranha tanks and renovating neglected aquariums. Each introduces new mechanics, rewards and opportunities to expand your collection.
