The loop
Four things. One living bowl.
Each action changes what comes next. Hatch begins a life; care shapes it; breeding carries it forward; trade lets its history travel.
Trade carries value and history back into the continuing bowl.
A persistent aquarium
Life continues when you leave.
Your bowl is designed not to pause when the tab closes. Eggs take real time. Fish grow through the conditions you create. Care, neglect and recovery become part of their history.
The water is free to enter.
A life takes shape
The bowl remembers the conditions you create.
- Care
Feed, clean and observe.
- Time
The bowl continues.
- Growth
Conditions shape development.
- Consequence
Care leaves a trace.
Come back to a fish whose story continued while you were away.
The centerpiece
The Founding Fish.
Five tiers. 3,333 Founding Fish: 2,000 Common, 800 Rare, 350 Epic, 180 Legendary and 3 Mythical. Tap a portrait to see its price and story.
The collection is the artifact. This record documents what changed — and why.

It didn’t start like this.
Drag, tap, or use the arrow keys to follow the journey — including the changes that shaped it.
Beyond the glass
The world around your bowl.
Your aquarium is the centre. Care becomes play, trade carries fish beyond one bowl, and the community helps shape what the world becomes.
Your Aquarium
A world you return to.
When First Water opens, your Aquarium will be where your own FishBowl life is held. Today it is an honest pre-launch view: the water is waiting, Passes are not open, and the count remains 0 of 3,333.

FishBowl · Built in publicLiam’s Letter
“My name is Liam. I built FishBowl because every crypto game I played eventually broke my trust. I wanted to build one that couldn’t.”
I’m not a corporation. I’m one person who genuinely wants to build something people care about — a community that lives and breathes what the community wants. A thriving ecosystem, not just a product. Every mechanic in FishBowl was designed with that in mind. The game’s rules, economics and risks are published in plain language, and I’ll keep explaining the decisions behind them.
I want the record of this build to be the decisions, progress and setbacks shared honestly as they happen. That’s the kind of founder I want to be.

Practical questions
Before you go deeper.
The essentials, in plain language.
Yes. The full browser game opens free, with no wallet and no purchase required.
No. The game begins like any other browser game. Crypto systems arrive later and are explained in plain language.
A Founders Pass is a final purchase, not refundable at will; statutory consumer rights apply where the law provides them. It converts one-to-one into a Founding Fish NFT when the crypto layer goes live. It cannot breed with in-game fish or buy gameplay power.
