Fish Tank — StillMinds

About the Fish Tank

Aquariums have long been used in waiting rooms and offices for a reason, watching fish drift is genuinely soothing to look at, without asking anything of your attention. This tank is built as exactly that: a calm, naturalistic backdrop with no interaction required, somewhere to rest your eyes for a few minutes or leave running while you focus on something else.

What you'll get out of it

A believable kind of restless

Guppies dart about, angelfish glide, goldfish drift slower still, that variety is what makes it feel alive rather than looped.

Detail your eye settles on

The little touches, an angelfish's stripes, the flick of a fin, give it enough texture to actually look at, not just glance past.

Ask nothing of you

No clicking, no settings, nothing to keep up with. Have it running in the corner of your day and let it just be there.

Add a soundscape alongside it

This tank is visual only, open the full sound mixer to layer in ambience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there sound with this one? +
Not built in yet, this tank is visual only. If you want a soundscape alongside it, open it in another tab from the Sounds page and let both run together.
Can I interact with the fish? +
Not currently, this tank is intentionally passive, something to have running rather than something to click through. The Fish Pond animation is the interactive counterpart if you'd rather reach into the water.
Will this run smoothly on an older device? +
It's a lightweight canvas animation with a fixed, modest number of fish, so it should run comfortably on most devices, closing other tabs helps if you notice any stutter.
