New fish: the Rummy-nose Tetra

A small characin, known at a glance by the blazing red of its nose. What makes this one special is the way it shoals. The more of them you keep, the tighter they draw together — wheeling and changing direction all at once, like a flock of birds. Now and then one takes the lead and the rest fall in behind it.

And this fish is very sensitive to its water. As the tank gets dirty, that red nose quietly fades away. You don't need to open a meter — just watching the tank is enough to notice something is wrong.

Note: unlock it from the SP Shop.

A new object and a new plant

• Grand Piano — a black grand piano resting on the bottom. One is enough to turn the whole tank into a stage. Fish cross over the lid and slip between the legs as they swim.

• Dwarf Hairgrass — the first foreground plant. It stays low, so a single clump at the front brings out the depth of the tank right away, and fish weave through the blades.

Fish Loupe

Press the 🔍 on a fish's chart and a round lens rises just above it, magnifying that fish and following it wherever it goes.
Even when it slips behind a plant or a rock, the star of the lens stays in view. However shy your fish is, you will always know where it is.

Algae on the glass

Algae slowly grows on the front glass — an update that lets you feel the time passing.
The glass clears wherever you wipe it, so once it starts to bother you, give the tank a clean.

Toward more lifelike swimming

To bring them closer to real fish, they now bend their bodies into a C and sweep through each turn in an arc.
Enjoy watching your tropical fish move more like the real thing.
