Draw Your Own Fish Tank

Draw a fish and watch it swim! Put any fish you like in the tank and see it come alive. Tap your fish to make them jump, and feed them when they look hungry.

Your fish goes here!

Draw your fish

How it works

  1. 1

    Draw a fish

    Pick a colour and draw any fish you like, big or small, spotty or stripy. Use the paint bucket to colour it in.

  2. 2

    Put it in the tank

    Give your fish a name if you like, then tap “Put it in the tank”. It drops in with a splash and starts to swim.

  3. 3

    Play with your fish

    Tap a fish to make it jump, feed everyone with fish food, and save a picture of your tank. Your fish are still there next time.

What should I draw?

Anything that lives in the water can join the tank. A blob with a tail and an eye is already a fish, so even the youngest artists can fill it up. Some ideas:

  • a stripy clownfish
  • a round pufferfish
  • a goldfish with a long tail
  • a shark with a big smile
  • a rainbow fish
  • a fish wearing a hat
  • a spotty whale
  • an octopus
  • a jellyfish
  • a seahorse
  • a turtle
  • a fish from your imagination

Questions

Are my child’s drawings uploaded anywhere?
No. The fish tank runs in your browser. Drawings are saved only on this device, so nobody else can see them.
Why did my fish disappear?
The tank keeps your last 24 fish, so the oldest one swims away when a new one arrives. Clearing your browser data also empties the tank.
Does it work on a tablet or phone?
Yes. Draw with a finger or a stylus. A tablet gives the most room to draw.
Which way should the fish face?
Draw it facing right, or tap “Flip” before putting it in the tank. The tank turns it around when it swims the other way.
