Real-life aquariums are expensive and take up a lot of room. Tiny Aquarium Mobile gives you a relaxing fish tank to stock up, customise and admire with none of the disadvantages.

What we love: Your mini aquarium is not only massively customisable, it also keeps going when you stop playing the game. Fish grow, get hungry and generate in-game currency while you’re gone, and the wealth of social features means your tank might get admiring visitors, too. And when you are playing, the daily quests and fishing mini-game will keep you occupied.

Quick tip: If you’re short on in-game cash, take to the seas! Even in the most basic boat without upgrades, a fishing trip can net you a load of new fish species. You can sell any you don’t want or stock your tank up. You can also catch tank decorations, saving you from spending on interior design.
