Accounts, guests and saving progress
How guest play, sign-in and account deletion work, and what happens to your aquarium in each.
Playing without an account
Anyone can open Fishies and start playing as a guest at once, with no account needed. See Signing in & saving progress for what a guest aquarium can and cannot do, and how to save it before it is lost.
On the desktop app a guest saves with Save in your browser, which links the sign-in onto the same aquarium; see Signing in & saving progress.
Linking a sign-in
Once you decide to keep your aquarium, you link one of these to it from the account centre:
- X
- Apple
- Discord
- Steam (sign-in only works once an aquarium is already linked to it)
- a phone number
- Game Center on the iPhone, iPad and Mac App Store apps, or Google Play Games on the Android app (both sign you in on their own)
The account centre
The account centre holds your username and aquarium name, the sign-ins you have linked, your language, and the ways Fishies can reach you outside the game: reminders in Telegram, and an Email updates switch for big news that you opt in to. For reminders see Reminders. On the website, open it from your name at the top: it opens right over the page you are on.
Devices lists where your aquarium is signed in and has Sign out everywhere for a lost phone; the card Playing on another device says how to open your aquarium elsewhere. See Lost your phone or can't sign in?.
What is stored, and where
Your aquarium, its fish, coins, level and decorations, lives on Fishies' own servers, on the same clock for every player. A sign-in only proves which aquarium is yours; it never creates a separate Fishies password.
Deleting your account
The account centre's Delete account option removes your sign-in and its linked data for good. There is no way to undo it, so save anything you want to keep, a screenshot of your aquarium, for instance, before you do.
If deleting takes longer than usual, the account centre says it is still finishing and completes it on its own. An account banned for abuse leaves a one-way hash of its sign-in methods for a year, so the same sign-in cannot start a new aquarium during that time.
