Features of Aquaria
Two separate displays of fish compatability for your saltwater aquarium. Choose one species of fish and the software will display other fish that are compatible or can be added to your aquarium but with caution – fish not displayed are deemed incompatible. An alternative check for compatibility allows you to pick two species and with the click of a button you will know if the species are compatible, incompatible, or can co exist with caution.
Water test results can be logged within the software. Simply insert and save your data for history tracking of your water parameters. The following water parameters can be stored:
- Test Name – unique name for your test
- Date/Time – this is not an editable field, it is populated with the current date/time when you save the test
- Salinity
- Temperature
- Alkalinity
- Ammonia
- Nitrite
- Nitrate
- Nitrogen
- pH
- Phosphate
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Iodine
- Strontium
Congrats Morgan!
This Application looks GREAT! I could really use one for Freshwater fish. Do you have any plans to make an Application for FreshWater?
Hi Frank, Thanks for your input! Believe it or not I am in the works of creating an app for owners of freshwater aquariums much like this one. I am hoping to push it to app store sometime in the near future. I’ll post the updates on this site as well.
Thanks again, Morgan
That’s great because today I just bought an aquarium (will be delivered next week) and I would love a program like this to manage my tank. (I bought Aquaria to get a feel for the program. It is put together nicely. I would love to see charting for the water values.) The application as a whole is very valuable for an aquarium keeper and I look forward to the freshwater version.
Thank you, -F
I just got this app and tried to sync it to my ipod touch. Unfortunately it won’t go on! Please help.
Hi Brandy,
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing some issues. Here is some more documentation about syncing applications with iTunes (Please note that Aquaria is only compatible with OS 3.0):

Thanks, let me know if this is not the issue and I will be happy to help sort things out!

On the Aquaria app on iTunes it is saying that Aquaria is compatible with the ipod thouch. Did something change?
Hi Brandy, Yes Aquaria is compatible with the iPod Touch. You do need to make sure that the iPod Touch’s operating system is version 3.0:
