What Is Drawquarium?

Drawquarium artwork

Drawquarium is a cozy aquarium sandbox simulation developed by byKaleb and published by rokaplay for Windows PC. Players paint original sea creatures and aquatic vegetation inside an interactive glass tank without spending currency, watching their custom hand-drawn artwork come to life.

Starting a fresh aquarium requires placing two custom plants to unlock creature creation. Players feed juvenile fish every 24 hours to help them grow, collect golden scales from thriving tanks to unlock decorations, and assign distinct swimming behaviors while managing desktop productivity tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few useful distinctions before you start.

Drawquarium unlocks fish creation immediately after you paint and place two unique plant specimens into an empty tank. Once this creative milestone is met, the Add a Thing menu grants full access to creature outlines and custom silhouettes.

Fish in Drawquarium do not die when missed feeding windows pass. Unfed fish simply become sad, and an immortal setting provides stress-free tank care.

Golden scales serve as progression currency earned by feeding and raising healthy aquatic pets over time. Spending scales unlocks extra drawing brushes, templates, substrate textures, lighting controls, and tank decorations.

Drawquarium wallpaper mode docks your living aquarium directly onto your Windows desktop behind open application windows. Ambient audio and fish interactions remain active, letting you feed swimming pets and use productivity timers from the system tray.
