Chillquarium is the gaming equivalent of putting your brain in airplane mode. There are no bosses trying to kill you. No teammates screaming at you. No ranked mode. No giant dinosaur eating your hard-earned belongings. There are just fish. You buy fish. You watch fish. You make money. You buy more fish. That's basically the entire game, and somehow I've spent way more time doing this than I would like to admit. The best part is how ridiculously relaxing it is. You can have Chillquarium sitting on your second monitor while you're watching a movie, playing something else, working, studying, or pretending to be productive. Every once in a while you glance over and think, “Oh cool, my fish made money.” So you buy another fish. Eventually your aquarium starts looking less like a peaceful little fish tank and more like you're running an extremely profitable aquatic investment firm. The progression is simple but surprisingly satisfying. You slowly build up your collection, unlock new fish, and watch your aquarium become more colorful and ridiculous over time. And unlike most games, there's basically no pressure. You don't have to grind. You don't have to optimize. You don't have to worry about dying. You don't even have to be particularly good at the game. The fish don't care. The fish simply exist. And honestly, sometimes that's exactly what you need. After spending three hours getting destroyed in a competitive game, there's something deeply therapeutic about opening Chillquarium and watching a little fish swim around while your imaginary bank account goes up. The only real problem is that it's dangerously easy to say, “I'll just check my aquarium for a minute.” Then you see a new fish. You buy it. Then you want another one. Then another. Suddenly it's two hours later and you've somehow become emotionally attached to a digital clownfish. Chillquarium isn't trying to reinvent gaming. It doesn't need to. It's a tiny, relaxing game about collecting fish, making money, and watching your aquarium slowly become more impressive. No stress. No rage. No skill required. Just fish. 10/10. Finally found a game where my crippling procrastination is actually a gameplay mechanic.

A fun second monitor game to use as a screensaver as you play and build your aquariums. It is a very low level to maintain and is best if you work on it for 5-10 minutes then let it sit for a day or two then check again or just let it sit and idle. I am very excited for their upcoming game which is basically this, but birds. I have put quite a few hours in but am nowhere near unlocking the large amount of fish available.

Really relaxing game. If youre someone looking for instant gratification, this is NOT for you. But if you want to have a relaxing background visual and chill music while doing chores/tasks, this game is so good. It doesnt overstimulate and it helps me slow down. Love unlocking fishies too!

This game is super fun and, as the titles says, very chill! I love coming home from work and checking on everything. Fun upgrades, fun ways to decorate your tanks, and a huge variety in fish and rarities! Highly recommend!

Feesh! If you want to autofeed, place your cursor about a third or more down into the sand so they can't circle around the food. If you're gonna tab out, keep the game in windowed mode, use alt tab after opening another window, and your cursor will stay put and continue to autofeed your feesh. Feeshies earn money in real time while the game is closed or open. Enjoy!~
