Fishkeeping Video Games

Mercury Games releases two new video games for fishkeepers on Nintendo DS.

angelfish
guppies
killer whales
penguins
Aquarium by DS and Fantasy Aquarium by DS, both for the Nintendo DS, are simulation games that allow you to keep fish in a tank.

Just like keeping fish in real life, the fish need to be fed and have their tanks cleaned. Aquarium by DS allows you to keep the usual types of fish that one would find in a fish tank including clownfish, angelfish, neon tetras and guppies.

Fantasy Aquarium by DS lets you keep fish that could never be kept as pets in a tank; such as blue whales, dolphins, seals and sharks. 

Some features include:

  • Create your own personalized fish tank
  • Pick from more than 30 fish
  • Swap your fish with your friends using the DS Wi-Fi feature
  • Decorate the backdrops and features of your tank
  • Unlock extra fish and accessories to use in the game
  • Control all aspects of your aquarium to create the perfect environment for your fish
  • Care for your fish, make sure they are fed and that the tank is clean

I've seen the Fantasy Aquarium at Target but not the other. The Aquarium one would interest me more. My son could maybe be interested in playing it; if a friend also had the game. He really likes the interaction that can be had between the machines.

I think it is exciting that a game has been put out to get other interested in the hobby.

It's a shame it's not for PC the game could be expanded to be a great learning tool.
