About This Game

**Tiny Glass Tank is a growing cozy aquarium game. More tiny critters, decorations, and quality-of-life updates are being added after launch.**

Tiny Glass Tank: Dwarf Shrimp and Friends is a cozy pixel-art aquarium game about catching colorful shrimp, snails, fish, and axolotls, raising the ones you like, selling extras, and using your earnings to decorate small tanks by hand.

Start with a simple tank and build from there. Go on light scooping trips to catch shrimp in different colors and patterns, along with apple snails, ramshorn snails, Cory Catfish, fan shrimp, and axolotls. Bring them home, feed them, and decide what should stay, what should be raised for better value, and what should be sold for coins.

Decorating is a major part of the game. Mix plants, moss, driftwood, stones, floor styles, water looks, and tank parts to create clean little displays, lush planted tanks, or messy aquariums full of tiny creatures. Your tanks can be for display, profit, collecting, or just because they look nice.

Tiny Glass Tank can work as a small companion aquarium you leave open on screen. View Mode pauses gameplay and tank care while keeping gentle critter movement, animated decorations, plants, water ripples, and surface motion alive, so you can simply watch your tanks without returning to a neglected aquarium.

It is not a fully hands-off idle game. You still check in to scoop, feed, sell, decorate, and slowly improve your setup over time.

Tiny Glass Tank is not

• A sandbox aquarium builder where every decoration is available from the start

• A fully hands-off idle game where coins and critters grow on their own. View Mode is for safely watching your tanks, not for progressing the game automatically.

• A strict realism aquarium simulator with deep chemistry, breeding, or species management

• A rapid-tapping aquarium game built around sudden emergencies or constant interruptions
