About Joyquarium
Joyquarium is an idle simulation where players raise fish in a virtual tank. Fish can be grown manually or via an Auto‑AFK function, then sold as fry for money. Adult fish may remain in the tank to generate ongoing income, and players can purchase fry packs to unlock new species, including rare shiny variants.
The game offers soothing white‑noise background music and a stress‑free environment with no cleaning or water‑change mechanics. With 144 fish species, assorted plants, driftwoods, and decorative stones, players can arrange their aquarium while enjoying a calm, productive experience.

Gameplay Mechanics
Players raise fish either by manual interaction or by enabling the Auto‑AFK function, which continues progress while idle. The core loop involves feeding fish, watching them scramble for food, and eventually selling the grown fry. The game does not require water changes or tank cleaning, focusing solely on feeding and observation. Income is generated both from selling fry and from adult fish that stay in the tank.
- Enable Auto‑AFK to accumulate progress while away.
- Regularly check fry growth to maximize selling opportunities.

- Arrange newly unlocked fish alongside existing ones for visual appeal.

Income Generation
Money is earned by selling grown fry and by keeping adult fish in the tank, which generate a steady income stream. This dual approach allows players to balance short‑term sales with long‑term passive earnings. The game’s design encourages players to maintain a mix of growing fry and retaining adults for continuous profit.
- Balance fry sales with adult fish retention for consistent income.
- Monitor which fish generate the highest passive earnings.
