# Tools at a glance
|
|
|
|
_What each button in the dock does, and the Map in the corner._
|
|
|
|
## The tool dock
|
|
|
|
Almost everything you do in your aquarium starts from the dock of tools at the edge of the screen. Pick a tool, then click or tap the water, a fish or the floor.
|
|
|
|
Feed, Net and Clean sit on one side of it, Shop, Pantry and My Fish on the other.
|
|
|
|
- Look: what you hold when no other tool is picked (key 1). Tap a fish to see what it needs, how old it is and what it's worth.
|
|
- Feed: drop food into the water and watch your fish chase it.
|
|
- Net: tap a grown fish to sell it, or collect a fish that was lost.
|
|
- Clean: scrub algae off the glass with the sponge.
|
|
- Shop: everything you buy lives here: fish, plants and decorations. Its Owned button shows what you own but haven't placed yet, with Arrange at the top, where your fish step back so you can move decorations. Its Aquarium Studio button opens the Studio.
|
|
- Reef Journal: the notebook in the corner beside Aquariums and the Map. Every species, decoration and way of the game, looked up in a moment.
|
|
- Pantry: your fish food, every jar and the worm bin, one press away (key 8).
|
|
- My Fish: every fish you own in every aquarium, with its stats and value. To keep the dock open all the time, turn on Keep the tool bar open in Settings › Interface.

|
## The Map
|
|
|
|
The big sea chart in the bottom corner is the Map. It opens straight onto the painted ocean map: swim out to Open Water, or pick the Coral Neighbourhood to visit other keepers' homes. Your friends are in the Keeper OS.
|
|
|
|
Out in Open Water the Map stands in the same corner: pick another place to swim on to it, or Home to swim back. On someone else's aquarium the ocean map waits until you're home, but the Coral Neighbourhood still takes you on to the next keeper's aquarium.
|

|
|
## The right-click menu
|
|
|
|
Right-click (a long press on touch) with no tool picked opens a menu for what is under your finger. On a fish: open its card ([Your fish's card](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/fish-card)), feed it while it is growing, sell it (or every adult of its species), collect it, or add its species to your favourites. On a decoration: move it or sell it. On the water: feed here, drop an egg of a favourite fish (see [Shop & cart](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/shop)), clean the glass, or decorate. At the bottom, Menu lists the game's apps, the ones you use most first; each opens on its own over your aquarium, without the Keeper OS around it. The water's menu also opens the Shop and the Pantry directly.
|

|
|
## Keys
|
|
|
|
On a keyboard, every action below has a key. Change any of them in the Keeper OS, in Shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
## Handy habits
|
|
|
|
An egg or decoration you pick stays in your hand after you place it, so stocking up is one click per item instead of a trip back to the shop each time. Press Esc when you're done. The tool’s hint sits just above the dock with a Done button that puts the tool down too.
|
|
|
|
Not sure what a fish needs? Tap it with Look. Its card shows its hunger, its growth and its own countdown.
