Any aquarium simulators out there??!!

[PGJE]

I've looked all over the Internet and all of the aquarium type games require you to unlock fish, and I really wish there was a free play mode where you could just replicate a future plan (for example I'd find it really handy to see what a reef tank I'm working on would look like in the future) rather than having to collect pretend money to unlock a guppy or something... Does anyone know of anything like this or is anybody a programmer willing to waste their life away for a creative mode aquarium game??

I remember the TV show Tanked had a game download fish game but not sure that is what your looking for.

Your best bet might be 3d modeling software. There are some good ones that are free to download like Rhino and fusion 360

I kind of get what you are looking for and dont think there is anything like that out there because it would involve some serious work for too little return (coz how do you monetize such an app) and market is too niche...

If you have steam there is a simulator called biotope thats newly released. Havnt tried it but it looks promising.

Biotope on Steam

Biotope will be the most detailed and realistic aquarium simulator on the market. Biotope makes it possible to create complex aquarist ecosystems and simulate realistic life cycles of plants and fish.

Well steam is free i think then you buy the games. Steam is only an platform.
To my understanding there is ****loads of decor and species options.

Dont really use a computer for other than work, but may look into this after i wait and see some reviews of what its actually like...

Although if its got as many options as you make it out to be, could be very interesting indeed...

Same goes here but my 11y old son uses steam so i might try it out. Its still early on since they released the simulator 5 days ago and its still a game under development. Been reading mixed reviews of it. If im buying it i will write an review here.

Definitely would be great getting an honest review from a fellow member...
