Fish Tycoon Demo

Fish are not the most exciting pets you can keep, but they are certainly a bit easier to watch out for, and they are less likely to scratch your furniture. However, you still need to look after them and feed them on a regular basis, not to mention their special needs, such as clean water and an appropriate environment. Plus, you can at least sell them for good money when they get older, as long as you find the right clients.

Fish Tycoon is a fun simulator that allows you to keep fish without actually worrying too much about their well-being. Hence, the conditions and requirements are almost the same, except nothing really happens if you get bored and stop paying attention to them. To make matters more interesting, the game can run as a screensaver, in order to provide you with a constant view of the tanks even when you are not playing.

The actual gameplay revolves around feeding and breeding the fish, in order to keep them alive and expand your collection. There are multiple species available, each one of which requires a certain treatment. Naturally, their prices vary as well, because although most species are not very expensive at all, there are rare ones that go for quite a bit of money if you know how much to ask.

You can interact with every fish from the tank and pick them up as you wish, although you have to keep an eye on their stats as well. Besides the fact that you have to feed them, it is also important that you watch out for diseased fish, otherwise you can lose them. A variety of products is available in the shop, including disease cures, food, and the mandatory decorations to spread around the tanks.

Speaking of which, there are multiple tanks you can use, depending on how you want to split the population. While the Sale tank already has a predefined purpose, the other ones can be used for other purposes, such as breeding. The visual quality is not bad at all, especially when you consider the fact that each fish species is different. The animations are a bit stiff, but they are just fish, after all.

In the end, Fish Tycoon is not the kind of game you binge on, especially since it takes a long time for pregnant fish to give birth. Hence, the game requires actual time to evolve, which means that you are mostly required to leave the fish do their thing.
