Scape a tank,
then sit with it.

Aquascaper Studio is a calm low-poly 3D aquarium builder in your browser. Pour and sculpt the bed, place hardscape, add plants and fish, choose a light, and leave the tank running while you work.

Scaping means arranging substrate, stone, wood, plants and water into an aquarium layout. Aquascaper Studio brings that creative process into your browser, so you can place things, step back and see how the tank feels.

One person, Nyein Chan Soe. I started aquascaping in 2019 and worked it out alone on a low budget, and this is the tank I wish I could have played with back then.

The aquarium is free to open and use, with no account and no download. Open it in a browser and start scaping.

Not in the usual sense. Today it is an interactive browser aquarium built around the feeling of scaping, with no scores or levels. You shape a tank, then sit with it. Playful touches may arrive later, but the calm stays the point.

Not yet. Saving, sharing and public tanks are planned for a later stage, so the current builder is a place to scape and leave open rather than a place to keep a permanent tank.

Yes. Pour aquasoil or sand, then use the brush to build slopes, valleys and islands. Aquasoil comes in dark brown, black-brown, cocoa and earthy charcoal, and sand in pale beige, warm tan, golden and cool light. The bed holds one aquasoil colour and one sand colour together, so a soil bed can carry a sand path.

Dragon stone, lava rock, river stone, river pebbles, spiderwood, tree root and fallen log. Each one comes in several forms, from three shapes of fallen log to ten of spiderwood, so a repeated piece rarely looks copied.

Cryptocoryne wendtii, Java fern, dwarf hairgrass, Monte Carlo, Cryptocoryne parva, Java moss, Christmas moss and moss balls. Dwarf hairgrass, Monte Carlo and Cryptocoryne parva also plant as carpet colonies that settle into the substrate.

The freshwater catalogue has neon tetra, bronze corydoras, honey gourami, kuhli loach, Siamese fighting fish, bala shark, fancy goldfish and Amano shrimp in several colour forms.

Yes. Fish swim, turn, breathe and rest, with behaviour shaped by the species. Neon tetras school, corydoras work the bed, and a betta can rest near the surface and build a bubble nest.

Not yet. The current builder catalogue is freshwater, while the public site has separate guides about real saltwater and reef tanks.

Only loosely. You can explore a layout and get a feel for it, but the builder does not check fish compatibility, produce shopping lists or confirm that a piece will fit a real aquarium. Use the guides and trusted husbandry sources when planning and stocking an actual tank.

A modern browser with JavaScript and WebGL, on a desktop or laptop. On an Apple M1, the live view measured about 42 frames a second in a large scene. Very large scapes, high-resolution displays and older integrated graphics may feel slower, and phones are not the intended screen yet.

The low-poly style is deliberate. It gives the stone, wood, plants and fish clear silhouettes, warm planes and a calm visual world without pretending to be a photograph.
