Seemed like a really relaxing game but when I saw it would take 3 days for my fish to grow up I realized this is just another mobile AFK game.
It's a decent chill game where you collect and grow fish. As you gain more money, you move onto more different types of fish and more tanks to grow them in. That's the whole gameplay loop in a nutshell.
Now there are different rarities of fish to collect (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic) and different color variants as well (Normal, Painted, Golden, Rainbow). All the achievements are tied to collecting the color variants of the Fish. (Collecting all from each species, each species painted, and each species gold.)
This is where the game gets annoying as you have a 1/1000 chance of getting a gold fish and even less of getting a rainbow fish. Most of the end-game, achievement collecting is just spam buying fish and selling them until you get the golds you need. It's okay.

A chill game you to open once in a while to collect fishes of every kind. Kind of like a clicker but way more simple. The menu is the worst and should be updated.
Chillquarium is an idle game in the truest sense. You can barely do anything, and you're just supposed to look at it. Its generally a good execution of that, but its kinda hard to critique an aquarium.
Chillquarium is an idle game where you load it up every day for 10 minutes, sell duplicate fish, and then close it. The fish are static pngs that float around the tank towards your cursor. You can buy more and bigger tanks, as well as static pngs to add as decoration.
This game added nothing to my day every day and I kept playing it for a few months because it was just 10 minutes a day and it wasn't offensive or anything but I don't think I will ever think of this game again after uninstalling it.
There is nothing here for you beyond just something to kill 10 minutes a day. It is a game that won't surprise or engage you. It's not meant to do that, I guess, but I imagine that if the fish were actually animated or the mechanics were in any way interesting I would feel rather positively about the game.
I don't wanna be mean to the game, but it feels like the design document began and ended with "chill vibes". There are too many small problems with the game - fish feeding barely works, the game has no sell duplicates button, the value tab constantly bugs out and displays incorrectly - for it to be this simple. You could do worse, but cookie clicker is free.

Fun fish play — lots of grind.
