hehehehe. Very interesting game!! Thanks for making this, it's got a lot of charm and pure creativity as well as clearly being inspired by real biology so it's very interesting.
I'd suggest a way to go back in the plant and fish menus, since there are so many species for these menus going only forward is kinda clunky. Love the clownfish.
Seaweed - produces food under water and reproduces from extra seeds.
Bush - produces food above water, the food is more caloric than seaweed food. The seeds may fall into water. Bushes reproduce from extra seeds that land above the water.
Tree - produces food above water, the food is more caloric than the bush food. which may fall into water and reproduces from extra seeds that land above the water.
Carnivorous Plant - Produces food, may occasionally eat a small fish, juvenile or potentially a dead fish.
Herbivores:
Anchorfish - Eats food, reproduces in numbers 2 and up, slowest breeding herbivore. Stays in the water.
Fishclown - Eats food, reproduces in numbers 2 and up, faster breeding than anchorfish. Stays in the water.
Clammoth - Eats food, reproduces in numbers 2 and up, faster breeding than fishclown. Can enter water but is faster at flying.
Hogfish - Eats food, reproduces in numbers 2 and up, faster breeding than Clammoth. Very slow movement and fodder to predators. likely to starve in competition with other herbivores due to their slow movement.
Eyepeller - Eats food, moves freely in the water, reproduces in numbers 2 and up, breeds faster than the hogfish.
Pufftacle - Eats food, moves freely in the water, reproduces in numbers 2 and up, breeds very fast. Faster than the eyepeller.
Pomanatee - Herbivorous, can only be eaten by the emperor fisher. Reproduces in numbers of 2 or more. When starved of normal food or plant seeds, pomanatees will rip aquatic plants out of the substrate and eat them. Very long lived, difficult to remove intentionally. Be careful adding a lot of these.
Nautilus - Slow breeding. Eats food, moves freely in the water. Immune to being consumed by the Gulpuff even as a juvenile due to the shell.
Predators:
Gulpuff - An all-female predatory fish that can eat juvenile fish and dead animals in the water. Can reproduce alone with only one in the tank. Reasonably likely to eat other members of their species if they are still juvenile.
Froggair - A semi-predatory species that can eat clammoths or normal food pellets or fruit and seeds. When eating clammoths they are much more likely to reproduce than when subsisting on plant material. Reproduces in numbers 2 and up.
Emperor Fisher - A flying predator. They can eat pretty much any animal. They will capture fish with their beard-like tendril and consume them periodically. Breeds in groups of 2 or more. Corpses from starved or aged-out emperor fishers can be eaten by gulpuffs.
Scuttlefish - The scuttlefish can only eat the Gulpuff. They are very long lived, and breed quite slowly. Can move freely in water.
Jetsnap - The jetsnap is one of the primary predators of clammoths along with the froggair. The jetsnap can only fly, but hunts clammoth. Reproduces in pairs, rather short lived and difficult to maintain.
ok thank you for listening and adding the descriptions. also if its not too much to ask for maybe add the name of the creature your about to place above the image of that creature if you update this game again? because its hard to tell what fish name is which without the population stats. thank you!
Thank you so much, and thank you for playing! I can work on it more, but I've put it down for now to to work on a new project I'll be putting that out soon. Did you have an idea for a fish or something perchance?

Thank you for playing! I'll try to make a dropdown menu, or something more accessible than a scrolling list. At least a back button yeah.
Mosquito tank
peak performance
hey can you describe what each creature does and eat? and maybe saying that in game or in the games description would be nice for future players
Great point. I'll make a quick list right here.

I'd like to be able to do that, so I'll give it a try. I've just updated with a new animal that I think could help balance the late game tank a bit.
Hey, this is a great game, are you still working on it?
Thank you so much, and thank you for playing! I can work on it more, but I've put it down for now to to work on a new project I'll be putting that out soon. Did you have an idea for a fish or something perchance?
Relaxing game, great idler!
You've got a mighty fine aquarium there
ahah love that last one!
