Sharing your aquarium
The link, the snapshot, the preview picture, the embed, the README card and the stream overlay.
The link
Use Copy aquarium link (C by default) to copy your aquarium’s address. What visitors find there is in Visiting aquariums.
A snapshot
Use Take snapshot (P by default) to download a picture of your aquarium as it is right now.
The preview picture
Paste your address into a chat or a post and it unfolds into a preview card of your aquarium, in a wide and a square shape.
Embedding it
Any web page can show your aquarium as living scenery at fishies.lol/embed/yourname. It is read-only, with no HUD and nothing to click.
Add ?wallpaper=1 to use it as a wallpaper: the sound goes off and the frame rate is capped at 30 a second, or any number from 10 to 60 with &fps=.
Embed & cards
Open My aquarium and press Embed & cards. It gathers everything on this page in one place, with your handle already filled in: copy a link, a snippet or a line of Markdown and paste it where you want your aquarium to show.
A picture for your README
fishies.lol/card/yourname.png is a picture of your aquarium that stays current: its name, your level, how many fish are grown and your best fish. It redraws itself within a few minutes of a change, so it suits a GitHub, Forgejo or Notion page.
Choose a light or a dark rim and a small, medium or large size: add ?theme=light for light pages, and ?size=s or ?size=l for a smaller or larger picture. A private or missing aquarium shows a still that says so, so your page never breaks.
A stream overlay
fishies.lol/overlay/yourname shows your aquarium as a browser source for OBS Studio, Streamlabs and other streaming tools: no menus, no sound and no loading screen over your scene, at a light frame rate beside your encoder. Add ?bg=transparent and only the fish and decorations are drawn, swimming over your own scene.
- In OBS or Streamlabs, add a Browser source, paste your overlay address into URL and set Width and Height to the size you want it to cover, for example 1920 and 1080.
- Leave Custom CSS as it is: the page already has a transparent background.
- If it ever stops, right-click the source and choose Refresh. It also reconnects by itself when your network drops.
- Options go in the address: fps= (10 to 60), fish= (draw at most this many fish), size= (25 to 200 percent), plate=1 (a small plate with the aquarium's name and your level) and aquarium= (your second or third aquarium).
- The overlay shows public aquariums only and cannot change anything.
