A FICIOUS GUIDE
Learn fishkeeping with virtual tanks and verified information
Practice observation, recording and species research in a virtual aquarium. Applying lessons to a real tank requires species-specific information and actual conditions.
Practice in a virtual aquarium
Ficious Care lets you observe illustrated fish, feed them virtually and practice care routines. Artwork and movement are not identification tools, biological measurements or proof of safe cohabitation.
Read passports and sources
Explore classification, tankmate comparisons and related lessons. Check review status, references and missing information. A shared family does not establish compatibility; an absence of warnings does not establish safety.
Record your real aquarium
Start with your stock, observations, photos and actual measurements. A journal helps compare changes over time. App suggestions support organization and learning, and do not replace an expert when fish show unusual symptoms.
Getting started
- Create a virtual aquarium and practice the available care actions.
- Open the species passport and review sources and verification status.
- Read a relevant lesson and record what remains unclear.
- Check each species' requirements before applying ideas to a real tank.
Frequently asked questions
Does virtual feeding control a real feeder?
Virtual feeding is a simulation. Real hardware actions require a separate flow and a connected, compatible device.
Does classification guarantee compatible tankmates?
No. Compare sourced water conditions, size, behaviour, group needs and aquarium space independently.
