Aquarium Live Wallpaper

Bring the ocean to your screen with Aquarium Live Wallpaper — a fully animated, real-time saltwater aquarium that runs as your live wallpaper or in full-screen preview mode.

No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. No recurring fees. Aquarium Live Wallpaper is a one-time purchase that gives you every feature, every fish, every background, and every setting — all unlocked from the moment you install.

50 Hand-Crafted Fish Species
Each fish is individually illustrated with its own distinct shape, color, and personality. From angelfish and tangs to seahorses and puffers, every species swims with realistic, velocity-based AI — critically-damped movement, natural speed variation, smooth directional changes, and a subtle vertical bob that makes each fish feel alive. Fish face their direction of travel and wrap seamlessly across screen edges.

5 Built-In Underwater Backgrounds
Choose from a curated set of ocean scenes ranging from coral reefs and rocky seabeds to open blue water. Each background scrolls subtly with your wallpaper offset for a parallax effect.

Custom Background Import
Import your own photos from your gallery to use as aquarium backgrounds. The app resizes them automatically. Add as many as you like, and delete the ones you don't want — all from the settings screen.

Real-Time Lighting & Effects
A caustic light overlay projects animated underwater light patterns across the entire scene at a configurable speed, creating the feel of sunlight filtering through water. Rising bubble particles add depth and ambiance.

Full Control Over Everything
— Fish Count: 1 to 50 fish
— Fish Size: Adjust from 12% to 30% of screen width
— Swim Speed: 10-level speed multiplier
— Bubble Particles: Toggle on/off
— Auto-Rotate: Automatically cycle through fish species at a timed interval (15 seconds to 5 minutes)

Works Two Ways
— Live Wallpaper Mode: Set it as your home screen wallpaper on standard Android devices
— Full Screen Preview: Run it as an immersive, full-screen experience on any device

Built for Performance
Hardware-accelerated OpenGL ES 2.0 rendering with a dedicated render thread capped at 60fps. Battery-friendly and smooth on a wide range of devices.

Who Made This
Aquarium Live Wallpaper is a product of Jocala Software — independent developers who believe apps should be simple, beautiful, and honest. No data collection. No upsells. Just a fish tank in your pocket.
