While many video games feature fishing as a main feature or side activity, sometimes you don't want to only catch fish. Maybe you want to grow a virtual aquarium instead. Here are five fish games to play on your PC that let you breed and care for a variety of sea creatures.
Upgrades and items are expensive.
Fish Tycoon 2: Virtual Aquarium is a free-to-play simulation game where you breed and sell fish, decorate your tank, and make your pet store as awesome as possible. It has over 400 unique species of fish, plenty of upgrades and power-ups, and a colorful mascot you can recruit to improve your store.
Customize settings and challenges in Sandbox mode.
Ten-level story campaign that teaches you the game.
Some systems are difficult to learn.
Could use some quality of life tweaks.
Megaquarium is a theme park management tycoon game that focuses on designing your own aquarium full of fish, staff, and guests. You start with a few tanks, and later find yourself in charge of a huge building filled with hundreds of guests, a robust staff, and a large collection of aquatic creatures that have their own unique care requirements. If you like to micromanage, this game will keep you happily busy for hours and hours.
You get to be a fish.
The game never left early access.
Multiplayer doesn't always work.
Unlike other games on this list, Feed and Grow: Fish is a survival game where you play a fish who hunts and eats other fish. Doing so lets you grow into larger and larger creatures. It also features a multiplayer component so you can compete with other players to be the dominant aquatic life form. Although the game never left Steam Early Access, there are still plenty of things here to enjoy.
You can recolor your fish.
Put unused items into storage instead of selling them.
Gameplay is a bit slow.
Some larger species are exorbitantly expensive.
In Fish Farm 3, you can buy, breed, cross-breed, and sell a variety of freshwater and saltwater fish, including whales, dolphins, sharks, and turtles. Like other aquarium sims, you can earn money from selling your fish and use it to decorate your tanks. It also tasks you with keeping your stock alive by regularly feeding them and changing their water. With over 380 realistically rendered species and 20 tanks, Fish Farm 3 will keep piscine enthusiasts busy for dozens of hours.
Four game modes: Adventure, Timed, Challenge, and Virtual Tank.
Create a personalized aquarium screensaver.
It's stuck on a lower resolution.
Insaniquarium is from PopCap Games, the makers behind hits like Plants vs. Zombies and Bejeweled. Like those other titles, it's a colorful take on a well-established genre. You tend to your fish to earn coins and jewels used to buy upgrades or egg parts needed to hatch pets with special powers. These pets can even work for you by feeding your fish or protecting against alien threats. If you're looking for a fish game that throws realism out the window, give this one a try.
