Little fish.
A little help.
Support for Tiny Tides: My Fishbowl, an offline fish-care and learning game for iPhone and iPad.
Let’s help your fish thrive

Email supportWelcome to your fishbowl
Choose a habitat and adopt up to five fish. Give each baby a name, then watch its size, markings and fins change as it grows. Tiny Tides works offline on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later.
Dinner, right here
Choose Feed, then tap the water to drop food. Each fish has its own fullness. Hungry fish chase flakes; satisfied fish leave them alone. Leftovers sink and dissolve.
A happy, clean home
Choose Clean and swipe algae and waste away. Tap the filter to replace its cartridge. Keep an eye on the water-quality number. Tap a fish to pet it, or pet it a few times for a special reaction.
Growing older
Open the fish details to see age, stage, health and fullness. Fish grow through baby, juvenile, adult and elderly stages. They can pass away from old age, hunger or poor water. Choose Net and tap a fish that has died to remove it.
Earn, decorate, play
Earn coins by caring for the aquarium and completing learning rounds. Spend them on special food, decorations and swim-through toys. All coins are earned in the game; there are no real-money purchases. After buying a decoration, drag it along the sand. Choose Move later to rearrange it.
Reef School for your learner
Open Learn. A grown-up completes the parent check, creates a four-digit PIN and chooses a learning level from ages 3–12. Math and English can be switched on separately. Younger learners can trace; ages 6 and up get puzzles, vocabulary and sentences. Tap the speaker to hear a question and follow the highlighted choices.
Parent settings and rewards
Parent settings require the PIN. If you forget it, use the grown-up math check to reset it. Parents can turn coin rewards off. With rewards enabled, a completed five-question round earns 10 coins, up to five rewarded rounds each day; practice remains available afterward.
Saving and returning
Aquarium and learning progress save on this device. Time passes when you are away, so return to feed and clean. There is no cloud sync. Deleting the app removes its aquarium save. Normal updates preserve progress; device backups depend on your Apple settings.
Sound and reading voices
The sound button controls aquarium sounds. Read-aloud uses voices installed on your device. Enhanced voices can improve speech quality when available in device settings. Tiny Tides does not record your voice or use a cloud speech service.
