Hello! I absolutely adore the Carassius Auratus and I noticed 2 colour variations I would love to have! It would be the black moor and panda moor.

[Aphelion]

This has probably been brought up already, but I would love:

More goldfish varieties (including the native, less exotic types)
Koi

Also, an option for pond design. :)

Koi are enormous and definitely too large for our present tanks, but we keep them in mind :)

[Snorkel]

Otocinclus (various versions) / Oto catfish

Hemigrammus erythrozonus / Glowlight tetra

Ancistrus cirrhosus / Bristlenose Pleco (it makes me sad to see the larger pleco variety in the game, as it grows so large. The Bristlenose is much better suited to a smaller aquarium)

[Snorkel]

Danio Rerio / Zebrafish

We're focused on fish at the moment :)

I have tried to make this post three times but Steam disappears every time I work on the list and then I have to start again.

Firstly I want to thank you for creating and supporting the game it's a great stress reliever for my family.

In addition, have you thought about region-based or temperature-based expansion packs? I think there is an opportunity for more DLC or at least interesting updates here.

I enjoy the game as is but one thing I thought about was the possibility of making a New-World only aquarium that would only have fish from the Americas. It looks like right now Australasia is very well represented so I would not be as concerned about additional species from these areas.

For the Americas there are numerous areas for expansion, of course, there is the Caribbean and Amazonian regions but I also suggest the Great Lakes/United States regions as well. Currently, I can't think of any fish that is suitable for the 18 degrees tank temperature even though this is always the starting temperature of any tank.

Here are some suggestions


Amazon/South America:

Continental U.S

Rainbow Darter
Redline Darter
Blueside Darter
Rainbow shiner
Bluenose Shiner
Golden topminnow (super plus this one as well, this could be a unique take on the gold fish that others keep asking for)


Flordia (tropical?)
Goldspotted Killifish
Rainwater killifish
Flagfish Jordanella floridae


This website provides more details:

@nathalie.ross Would this be something you are interested in?

I did not even begin to work on Amazon and Caribbean proposals for this post. I want to point out that many of the species on the list are commercially raised for aquariums though not all.

Well, okay, so firstly, please, get out of my head :D And secondly, thank you for all your propositions, we actually have some region based DLCs in plans and are working on some of them already :) Just you wait, just you wait... :)
