Snapshot Aquarium is an aquarium sim with skill-based photo challenges . It's for people who love fish and aquascaping—but want something more engaging than just feeding (or selling) fish every day. It’s calm, but not idle: patience and timing matter. Shoot with patience: the photo mechanics reward waiting for the right moment, clean focus, and species combos. Build cozy habitats:  keep your fish thriving and get a higher rank in the online gallery to draw more visitors. Share & explore: publish your tank and visit creations from players around the world. (Not a hardcore management grind, not a clicker. It’s for folks who enjoy slow crafting—and the thrill of landing the perfect shot.) A long-term project I've been tinkering on Snapshot Aquariumfor for over 10 years, and I’d love your support to keep adding features for many more. This is a calm, craft-at-your-pace project—built to grow with the community. What’s in the game today Arcade-style photo challenges Easy — relaxed and forgiving; auto-aim allowed Regular — fewer shots per target; auto-aim still allowed Hardcore — very limited shots; manual aiming and focus is mandatory Basic fish AI Shoaling, fleeing, feeding, and near-realtime growth Aggressive species will chase others Aquarium editing 3D backgrounds, lights, plants, decorations Over 300 items included already Community challenges Publish your aquariums to a public in-game gallery Take on photo challenges in other players’ tanks Planned / wishlist features Personal photo gallery More fish species, more plants, more decorations — more of everything Deeper simulation of fish needs, better AI, and better animation More creative options (aquascaping) Community photo quests (find the fish!) Achievements … and your suggestions are welcome! I hope you enjoy the game already. Feedback and ideas are highly appreciated. Love, peace and cheers, Andy / Team Octoponx
