About the Game

Bottom Dwellers is a cozy little aquarium that sits at the bottom of your screen. Collect and grow different fishes, discover shrimps and decorate your tank while you work or play on your PC. Breed fish and unlock fancy colors and rarer textures!

Relax, watch your tank grow, and discover new fish as you go.

  • Buy fish

  • Feed fish

  • Grow fish

  • ???

  • Profit!

Shrimps are friends, not food! Unlock these shrimps and put them to work. Collect coins, feed fish, file your taxes and hold a concert!

You know what else your fishes need? Plants! And rocks. And more plants. Oh and corals too. Decorations go brr and tank happiness go brr.

Woah wait what's that?? Violence mode lets you have some unruly "friends" over. You can disable this in the options to have a perfectly peaceful tank. No shark attacks, promise!
