Our Expert Score
Aquarium Tycoon is a surprisingly deep management sim that captures the peaceful yet complex world of fish-keeping. It’s not just about looking at pretty fish; you have to balance water quality, feed schedules, and aesthetic appeal to attract customers. The progression from a single small tank to a massive multi-room facility is genuinely rewarding.
The graphics are the highlight here—the water effects and fish animations are incredibly relaxing. It’s an 'idle' tycoon at its heart, meaning you can set things up and check back later to collect profits, but there’s enough active management in decorating and breeding rare species to keep you engaged for long periods. It’s the perfect 'zen' tycoon game for animal lovers.
Features
In-depth aquarium management mechanics

Rewarding idle-progression system
Tips & Walkthrough
Don't spend all your gold on expensive fish early. Invest in high-capacity filters and larger tanks first. This allows you to host more fish simultaneously, which exponentially increases your passive income per hour.
Gameplays
Unlock the breeding tank once you have two fish of the same species. Rare color variants can be sold to collectors for a massive profit or displayed to boost your aquarium's prestige rating.

No, the game is designed to be stress-free; fish will simply wait for their next feeding when you return.

Great game for the price you pay
Wed Feb 19 2020 guderugeySo far I’ve been enjoying this game quiet a bit. It’s a fun business manager with a bit of challenge. $1.99 is good for no adds as well. It is weird how I couldn’t find the game in the search after purchasing it as well? I stumbled on it by accident somehow and I’m glad I bought it when I found it. I don’t know what’s up with that, but keep up the work guys. It’s great.
Repetitive
Fri Aug 28 2020 AhhhfreakoutForRealThe game starts off well enough and it’s fairly easy to figure out how to navigate once you play for a bit. It’s enjoyable to build up your coins and spend them on improvements, more staff and of course more fish which in turn leads to the ability to generate more coins. That’s really it though - the game is the same all the way through and you huff and puff to build up coins to buy the same things that early on in the game costs 100,000s or millions cheaper. After spending enough time on this game to fill my sea water tank of fish, I don’t see anything more than the same gameplay repeating itself until I suspect I have obtained several million to have a marine tank and extra staff, etc. The game needs more variation to keep it interesting and it has no replayability value. For a paid game, I was hoping for more.
A true business sim!
Mon Jan 06 2020 AmesMooreI love the fact that this game covers the basic foundation to running a business! It’s so addictive and it can actually teach you something! The only thing that upsets me is how the App Store buried this game! I typed Aquarium Tycoon in the search bar but it never came up... I had to go into purchases to find this game to leave a review. It goes to show how much I really love this game!!! Thank you!
Lots of fun
Sun Jul 12 2020 Aidanm77I love that there are no ads. Very cute graphics, plenty of things to do, I can already tell it will take a while to achieve everything. I like that I can pick it up and play whenever and then stop whenever I please. Definitely worth the money. Please add iCloud support between devices!!
Great Game
Sat Jan 20 2024 KrazyKitKatVer1.3I would love an update, I’m on an older iPhone but this games is cute and simple. The only thing that bothers me is sometimes the mechanics aren’t explained well. It can get very confusing. But I still love the game a lot.
So cute
Sun Dec 26 2021 btchhbjdffrshdtjhkbnJust beat the game. It’s fun, cute, and very passive. No ads, too! I hope more content is added eventually.
Love this game
