About Desktop Fishes
Desktop Fishes turns your desktop into an aquarium, with fish swimming over your games and work or behind your windows as a living wallpaper. Designed for idle play, it lets you tend the aquarium at your own pace while you do other things.
Raise and customize fish
Each fish begins as an egg, then wiggles, hatches and grows into an adult. You can dress fish in hats, glasses and other accessories. Fish also reproduce and pass traits to their offspring: babies may inherit their parents’ colors and patterns, while others develop rare mutations. The game has over 10,000 possible genetic combinations.
Tend the aquarium
Seaweed grows quickly, so you cut it back; your fish eat the extra plants and help keep the tank clear. At the octopus market, you can buy food, toys and unusual accessories.
Upgrade your aquarium
A skill tree lets you expand the aquarium, unlock perks and change your fish’s behavior. You can choose whether fish swim over your windows as an overlay or appear behind everything as a living wallpaper.
