**Tiny Aquarium Update 1.6.1 Now Live! **

Tiny Aquarium 1.6.1 is now officially live! Thanks to everyone who helped test during the beta phase. Heres whats new in this mostly bug-fixing update:

**Added**

- Ability to move Tiny Mode to another monitor. - A new reaction type that is unlimited, but doesn't give shells. (Yuppie!) - Credits screen.

**Fixes**

- Broken achievements now work correctly. - Demo players can now receive upgrade achievements. - Fixed sound volume issues. - Featured aquarium now functions properly. - Weekly quests now reset correctly. (We had to force a reset!) - Castle decoration no longer floats. - Fixed visual bugs with the discus fish. - Fixed daily quest reward disappearing if the aquarium is full. - Corrected the name for Snail Garden. - Fixed a server-side issue preventing some players from publishing fish or receiving visitors.

**Changes**

- Large Time Potion stack count increased to 5. - Coral fish are now bigger. - Made rarity text in the online market consistent with the fish list. - Updated the shop description for Time Potions. - Increased the per-aquarium decoration cap from 100 to 200. Minor known issue: The unlimited reaction displays a different visual when used. This will be patched very soon.

Hey everyone,

What a wild week its been!

Since launching on Monday, weve already sold over 25,000 copies, and our little aquarium game now has more than 400 reviews with a Very Positive rating on Steam

Your warm reception has been truly humbling. We honestly never expected so many of you would play our cozy little game - in fact, things got so unexpectedly busy that our servers crashed, and Egon had to pull an all-nighter to fix them! To make up for it, well be extending the Axolotl event for an extra week so nobody misses out because of the hiccups.

Weve loved meeting some of you in the fishing lobbies and visiting your aquariums, and we thought the best way to say THANK YOU is with a little extra content drop!

[carousel autoadvance="true"][img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/44914647/97870eebc3db465d08897050b03b6fb8d565a9f6.gif"][/img][img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/44914647/4c7545fbbb78d187f5e5adee05ba396e1593f108.gif"][/img][img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/44914647/44a9e7ab94acbbe2fef2dd4331365eca7f700cc1.gif"][/img][img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/44914647/bed3d025ce2d6b454d7ed61e8a089a2804e8c696.gif"][/img][img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/44914647/73c8fa8c2167a509fb3b67254251635f2ba1602d.gif"][/img][/carousel]

With this very first content update, youll find new fish and new decorations to unlock:

• Sturgeon fish

• Bluegill fish

• Lantern

• Sea anemone

• Aquacalibur!

All of this new content is exclusive to fishing!

Were also working hard behind the scenes, pushing patches and fixes every day. Thank you so much for your patience! Were committed to ironing out the remaining issues as quickly as possible!

If you havent left a review yet, wed really appreciate it - reviews make a big difference in helping Tiny Aquarium reach more players

Best fishes, and see you soon with more Tiny Aquarium content! - Can & Egon from the Lunheim Team

• Fixed duplication issues.

We are aware that a change we made to the event corrupted some quests for some players. You can do a reroll to fix this permanently. We are sorry for the frustration this has caused.

[ 2025-06-27 00:28:07 CET ] [ Original post ]

• Fixed a bug where the fish being moved to another aquarium would appear duplicated.

Hello fishkeepers. Due to the unexpected number of people playing our game (which is amazing), our servers are having some difficulties catching up. We are working as hard as possible to fix it. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience. Best, Can & Egon

Hey everyone,

Were typing this down while were both overhyped and exhausted after launching the game earlier today Thank you so much for the warm reception, you have no idea how much it means to us to see the lobbies filled with people, chatting, sharing and fishing!

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/44914647/ba935fbf04e3154c36901ce5add708c5f41c197a.png"][/img]

Also, today marks the first day of our time-limited season event, the A-lotl Axolotl!

For two weeks only, you will be able to do quests and earn special Axolotl Currency. This seasonal currency can be spent on the reward shop for curious exclusive decorations, items, and of course, the Axolotl Egg!

[img src="https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images/44914647/ad55e1c8af837e89524a5361339e00a3efa0b80f.png"][/img]

Im not sure how much you love these weird little critters, but we do!!! Their name apparently translates from an aztec language to mean water dog and who doesnt love dogs?

Thats all for now, but before we leave you, we do have a small request - if youre playing the game, would you consider leaving us a review? The mighty Steam algorithm puts a lot of importance on them, and this can make such a difference for small teams and projects like ours! Best fishes and see you soon for more aquatic updates! - Can & Egon from the Lunheim Team
