I would absolutely buy a game like this

I know this was forever ago but if y'all were still looking, my favorite aquarium game is called VR Aquarium. http://www.digifish.us/vraquarium/va_download.htm
It's very old so it doesn't have the best graphics, but I loved playing it when I was younger and customizing things.

anyone played that seamen game years ago?

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread. Poor Dreamcast

[Sallow]

I know that its not out yet but this game seems to be exactly what you're looking for

It checks all the boxes

Guys btw Dream Aquarium is already out but it's not a game it's a screensaver you customize the tank and if you leave your computer in idle in a few minutes or whatever time you schedule for screensaver it will turn on the virtual tank and you can feed the fish .

The closest I can think of is Neo Aquarium where you can customize your tank a bit but that is not the focus of the game.

As far a I know this is an actual aquarium simulator, from a company specialized in aquarium appliances. The link to the program (Sera aquarium 2.0) is in the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpKNgndt1FE

Sorry to bump an old thread, but found this via web-search.

I came across this also looking for a decent "aquarium simulator". In RL, currently have a 29-gallon tank that I'm going to soon be upgrading to a 55-gallon or bigger tank. The fish I have are doing good, but there are quizzical things I notice from time to time, like a molly occasionally nipping at another fish, etc.

And while I can and do research about the fish and figure new stuff and small hidden bits out, would be awesome to have an aquarium-simulator with real-life fish breeds and such, that could attempt to authentically simulate the different behaviors and personalities of different fish, how they interact, how they should be fed, etc... sort of the "educational simulator" type (which back in my days of much earlier gaming days [started out when the original Pac-Man and Donkey Kong were still "new" concepts], that's what simulators were typically meant to be, educational).

Could work well for the young folks to learn about fish, how to keep fish, and/or simulate a virtual-aquarium if their parents don't allow them to have fish, and equally work well for, again, people such as myself that would have a lot more fun and retention of fish knowledge in a fun/simulator setting, rather than reading forum and/or website, one after another after another, trying to retain it all in a rather dull, "yeah, this is because of that, then this happens, and then you have this thing over here" (*snore*) format.

EDIT: @jolierobin - Thanks for the link, that's definitely along the correct direction of where I was looking to go!

If the games listed don't do exactly what yall want, I would strongly consider making this game. As someone who dabbles in making video games and as a huge aquarium enthusiast, it sounds extremely tempting. I also cant afford a reef tank atm so simulating that would be a dream. Just let me know if that's something you guys still want and I'll start to think about it!

There are some fishing MMOs in Korea where you can catch all types of fish to place them in your aquarium & feed them. I also found this thread while searching for similar games in NA. Your idea is neat, but I would personally love to see both fishing and aquarium-management combined in one game. When executed properly, I can see a game like that having a huge following.

The software you are looking for is Aquazone. It includes tank set up, water quality management, breeding, filter cleaning, even lighting management. But... its about 15 years old.
