About This Game

An aquarium in the corner of your desktop.

Taskbar Fishing & Aquarium is an idle fishing and aquarium game that keeps running beside your work.

A small window just above your taskbar catches fish on its own, so you never have to stop what you are doing.

Just leave it, and the fish come

• Keep it running, and fish swim up and bite on their own

• Fishing never stops, even while you are admiring your tank

• Catches from while your PC was off are waiting for you next time (up to 12 hours)

Many fish, many rarities

• 35 species across 10 rarity tiers, from Common to Cosmic

• Display your catches in the tank to boost your fishing. The rarer the fish, the bigger the boost

• Fill in a 350-entry log of every species and rarity

Build the aquarium you want

• 66 items: backgrounds, floors, stone castles, coral, seaweed and more

• Drag to place, flip and resize, or tuck decorations behind the fish

• Display up to 8 of your catches and watch them swim

Upgrade your tackle and catch more

• The more you upgrade your rod and hook, the better your fishing gets

Stays out of your way

• Three window sizes, optional always-on-top, and see-through water
