+**Pre-alpha (6–13 September 2026)**
+
+Fishies went live on 6 September 2026 as a small aquarium you could fill with reef fish. The week that followed turned it from a tank into a place to share.
+
+_The aquarium_
+
+The tank got a fresh look, clearer tools and smoother play on phones. Every new keeper now started with a gifted egg, and its first hatch was a small celebration. Four more reef fish joined the shop, and many fish were redrawn.
+
+_Keepers together_
+
+You could visit a friend's aquarium, and soon join it as one of your own fish. Gifts arrived, so an egg or a decoration could travel from one tank to another, and the shop got a cart. Open Water opened: a shared sea where keepers swim and meet.
+
+_Easier to start_
+
+You could play as a guest first and save your aquarium to an account later. In-game notices gathered behind a bell, the Field Guide was refreshed, and Fishies got its first Discussions page and new music.
+
+That was pre-alpha. Everything since is in the daily patch notes, starting on 14 September.
