Red Carp and Green Carp and Fish Is Out, Raise 70 Fish on Your Desktop for 20 Yuan

Red Carp, Green Carp, and Fish launched on Steam today, and its launch discount is 20.80 RMB. The moment I saw that title, I laughed—it sounds just like a childhood tongue twister, and that instantly made it feel familiar.

What makes the game so appealing is its gentle core idea: it turns the bottom of your computer screen into a small aquarium where you can raise fish right on your desktop. You get more than 70 kinds of fry to choose from, and they keep swimming whether you’re working or spacing out. Developer Spartan also composed the soundtrack personally, built around wooden instruments. The tone is quiet and calming, never distracting, but every glance at those little fish swaying below the screen feels genuinely soothing.

Its freedom stands out too, and it’s backed by concrete options: there are more than a dozen aquarium styles, plus decorations like plants, rocks, and sandcastles that you can mix and match however you like. The fish can also breed, and you can collect rare varieties, which gives the whole experience a satisfying pet-raising loop.

For me, the best part is that it never demands constant attention. It just stays there quietly—you can watch when you want, ignore it when you don’t, and it still feels like pleasant company. Unlike games that push daily check-ins and task-like routines, this one feels relaxed. At 20.80 RMB, that kind of low-pressure daily comfort feels well worth it. If you also like unobtrusive companionship, it’s worth trying.
