### 0.8.5 · Smoother aquariums, a phone-friendly game and fish with a nature
2026-10-14 · [read on fishies.lol](https://fishies.lol/news/0.8.5)
Busy aquariums stay smooth on phones and older computers, the game is easier to play on a phone, every fish has a nature, and the desktop app updates in seconds.
#### Your fish
- Every fish now has a nature, shy, curious, playful or greedy, that shows in how it swims, and its card names it.
- The Conditioning Box can be upgraded to hold more fish for shorter stays, and each stay can be Sure or a quicker Fast gamble.
- A new Quality and breeding quest chain opens with your first bred egg and leads all the way to a purple fish.
- Fish swimming toward you show both eyes and a smooth face instead of thin lines.
- Aquariums with a party pumpkin or another prize decoration open again instead of reporting invalid data.
#### Smoother and faster
- The game opens much sooner: only what the first screen needs is downloaded before you enter, and the rest arrives while you play.
- No more stutter while the loading screen plays, and its fish school uses less of the computer.
- Fish bodies now bend on the graphics card, and busy aquariums stay smooth on phones and older computers.
- The shop and other windows run much more smoothly: the aquarium behind them rests while they are open.
- Fixed a crash after leaving the Gallery or Open Water.
#### Phones
- The menu button opens a simple full-screen menu with large buttons and a Back arrow instead of the Keeper OS windows.
- Signing in or saving a guest aquarium is the first button in the menu, and signing in with Google or Apple from a guest aquarium takes you straight to your own aquarium.
- Close buttons stay clear of the screen's rounded corners, and the tool dock and the Map, Aquariums and Journal buttons stay above the home bar.
- The Reef Journal has a close button, fits the screen, and its bookmarks sit on the page edge.
- The Map fits the screen without scrolling, and Notifications are cleaner and easier to read.
- The shop's fish list has far more room to scroll, and the fish card's columns line up neatly.
- The fish card spreads out when the phone is held sideways, and its tips are wide enough to read.
- The game works again on iPhones running iOS 16, and a crash on Android when returning to the game is fixed.
#### Desktop app
- Game updates download only what changed instead of the whole game.
- The Mac App Store version receives the latest game again and opens normally.
- The Gallery's aquarium pictures appear again, and the loading screen no longer lets the aquarium show through along the bottom.
#### Everywhere
- Fishies opens and plays in places where Google's services are blocked, such as mainland China.
- Notifications have quiet hours: reminders wait until morning, except when a fish is about to starve.
- Settings opens with its sections down the side, and shop filters and quest chapters no longer squeeze their words on small screens.
- The forum has two new categories: Off-Topic, and Indie Corner for games by fellow indie developers.
- The privacy page explains the game's self-hosted, cookie-free analytics.
#### Also new since 0.8.3
- Adopt a grown fish to keep it for good. An adopted fish wears a heart badge, is never sold and the net leaves it alone. Up to three live in one aquarium, and if you ever need the place, you can release one to the ocean.
- A new fish card: growth, food and health on top, then three tabs. Overview says what it needs now, Quality shows its tier, how close the next one is and every reason it is rising faster or slower, and Value shows what it sells for and why.
- Every species has a home, reef, rock, sand, seagrass or wreck, and every decoration and plant belongs to one. Two or more pieces of a fish's home in the aquarium help it gain quality a fifth faster.
- Pellets and brine shrimp count for quality for all the time they keep a fish fed, so a better food is never worth less than flake.
- The Reef Journal is a real notebook now, with the Fishies cover on its front: it opens out of its cover, two pages open, a tab for every chapter along its edge, and the page turns as you go.
- Every fish and decoration you find gets a sticker; the rest wait as silhouettes.
