About this site

Add sand, water, plants, algae, daphnia and fish, then watch the little world balance itself, or fail to. A gentle, pixelly aquarium by the maker of Sandspiel.

When to open it

Set aside a while: this one easily runs past 15 minutes. It works on phones as well as computers, and it's silent, so it's safe at work or in class. Best for nurturing and slow minutes.
