Different breeds of goldfish! And freshwater shrimp species

I would love to have crayfish of any species perhaps cambarellus patzcuarensis,Procambarus virginalis, or Procambarus clarkii.

Being able to do an african cichlid tank would be cool as well and that can be a mix of species.

Other nano species such as anchor catfish, chili rasbora, neocaradinia shrimp, or heterandria formosa could also be fun.

Otherwise, I would love if the size of the fish were scaled correctly as some of the fish seem to be the wrong size to me. otherwise I'm pretty happy with the selection of plants and fish that are already in the game!

- Some other varieties of pleco

I think it would be interesting if we could have Asian stone catfish (hara Jerdoni) and banjo catfish (Aspredinidae) in the game.

I would love to see
>Some shrimp - any kind of crustacean really!
>Same with snails - a nice pink ramshorn would be good!
>Honey gourami / Trichogaster chuna
>Marbled hatchetfish /Carnegiella strigata
>(Black) ghost knife fish / Apteronotus albifrons
>DIamond tetra / Moenhausia pitteri
>Jellybean tetra / Ladigesia roloffi
>Orange flame Tropheus moori cichlid
>Some other goldfish colours/variants
>Sailfin molly / Poecilia latipinna

For some of the larger fish (including those already in the game like Oscars), it would be nice if there were a larger tank size though, as all the tanks in the game max out around 50 gallons / 190L, too small for a single oscar.

Also, although the one already in the game is described as an Endler's livebearer, it really does look like a guppy / P. reticulata - Endler's tend to have a more lyre shaped tail, or else have the middle of their tail totally transparent.

Cherry shrimp and more breeds of Mollys!
Mr Wonton Jan 28, 2022 @ 12:17pm 
another vote for shrimps and snails
Absolutely beautiful game. My kids and I are enjoying this so much. We can't wait to see what happens in future updates.
My suggestion is probably not what you're looking at right now, but I would adore axolotls please!

Hello, as some of the devs already probably know due to me discussing this very specific species on the Discord server, I have only a single species to request to be added to the game; Epalzeorhynchos bicolor, AKA the Red-tailed black shark. It was a species of fish I had known from a former neighbor of mine from when I was a very young kid, and it's a species that I would love to see included due to my personal fascination with the individual I had seen decades ago.

red tail black shark is in game already, have you unlocked all the fish?

I guess it's because our Rainbow Shark is purple. We'll try to add different color variations of the fish with time :)

I care more about the fish animation, never saw fish moving like the ones in the sim, pretty unreal

We're working on improving the animations as much as possible.
