Tiny Aquarium brings idle fishkeeping to mobile

Tiny Aquarium is out on mobile, and it may be the most relaxed trap of the week. It starts with one egg in one empty tank, then slowly becomes a soft little empire of fish, breeding, trading, fishing and collection goals. There are more than 120 fish to collect, including real-world species with facts about their actual population status, plus fictional variants for players who prefer their aquariums slightly more whimsical.

The best trick is Tiny Mode, which lets the aquarium shrink into a movable little window so it can sit around while you pretend to be productive. It is not fishing. It is fishkeeping as lifestyle, and it looks dangerously calming.
