Problematic
11/17/2021
IDon'tPlay
This app has a huge selection but what’s the point if you cannot use it? I’m looking to remodel my 30 gallon breeder but apparently over half the fish listed are “Problematic with my aquarium”. Therefore, I am unable to select any of these problematic species including mollies and corydoras which are listed as they need at least 50 gallons. This is pretty ridiculous that there is no way to bypass this faulty warning.

Developer Response
The app provides several volume measurement units - litres and gallons (US & UK). Please check if the app is set to display "litres", because only 1 out of 46 species of Corydoras in the app requires much more than 30 gallons, 3 are at 32 gal. and the rest below. You can change the measurement units by going to your aquarium (or the screen with all catalogues), tap on the top left icon that reveals a menu, tap on Settings and then change it.

Good start but several gaps.

I like the concept. I want to select fish and plants and have handy access to that info. But I can do nearly the same by keeping a list of URLs in Evernote, so I have a hard time justifying $8 to unlock this app. The "filter by compatibility" feature is an excellent search tool. Very helpful! Brilliant!I noticed most small fish, like Platy or Zebra Danio, show they require 26 gallons of water. I selected all 5 of my small fish and this app says I need 30 gallons total. Another app, and the local aquarist, tell me I'll have a little room to spare in my 10 gallon tank. So, something is not converting correctly I assume. I would love to see faceted search to help me narrow down the results and show me what fish and/or plants I can add given the volume left in my tank and my other selections. Since this app doesn't know the size of my tank, it can't do that. This app also does not track how many of each fish I have e.g. 2x Platy. I would love to see the ability to track multiple aquariums. I also could not find Banana Plant at all. I had to look up the scientific name for Java Moss and Wonder Bulb in order to find those two. The search facility and/or tagging could use some work in that regard. Some additional ways to improve utility: Ability to create and track a customized maintenance schedule with notifications for things like: test the water, change the water, change the filter, etc. It would also be great to track temperatures and chemical levels such as Ammonia, nitrates, etc. from my test kit. I would also like to track problems and resolutions so a year from now if the nitrates are high again, I can see what I did to fix it. Or have the app make suggestions (even better)!More photos would also be great. With just 1 photo it's difficult to do proper research and I find myself searching in the browser rather than staying within the app. With all or most of these changes I would pay $8. But as is, it's not helpful enough to me. I also found the UI a little sluggish. The "My Aquarium Guide" app, which is similar, is much more responsive.

I'm a true baller
Enjoying the app. Especially sense I’m new and building a tank from scratch. But now that I have fish in my tank. I want to know how long I should be waiting to add more. Also where are the shrimp? Literally no shrimp to add to the tank, that’s probably my biggest issue.

Great app for determining what is compatible in your tank. Some crashing issues but it has a huge library, seems accurate from what I have browsed, and is detailed enough to even the water flow compatibility.
