How do I create a fish?
In the aquarium, tap the + button («Создать новую рыбку», Create a new fish) and choose a mode:
- «Рыбка» (Fish) — pick a fish outline and colour it with fills, crayons and stamps;
- «Свой рисунок» (My own drawing) — draw any creature on a blank sheet;
- «С бумаги» (From paper) — photograph a drawing made on paper or choose a photo of it.
Tap «Оживить» (Bring to life): the fish is born in the aquarium, and the child can give it a name.
Tips for photographing a paper drawing
- Put the sheet on a flat, plain surface and fit the whole sheet in the frame.
- Use even light and avoid the phone’s own shadow falling on the drawing.
- Bold, closed outlines and bright colours work best. Any drawing will do — a cat, a car, a dragon.
- Drawings made on the app’s printable colouring pages are recognised as a specific fish automatically.
- If the shape is detected incorrectly, adjust it on the next screen or tap «Ещё раз» (Try again).
If the camera button is not available, allow camera access in iOS Settings → Apps → Живой Аквариум.
Printable colouring pages
On the «С бумаги» (From paper) screen, tap «Раскраски для печати (для взрослых)» (Printable colouring pages, for adults). After the parental gate, a PDF colouring book opens in the iOS share sheet: print it with AirPrint, save it to Files or send it to yourself.
How do I delete a fish?
Open «Мои рыбки» (My fish), select the fish and tap «Отпустить рыбку» (Release fish). An adult then holds the button for two seconds. A fish released by mistake can be returned right away. To delete all fish and drawings at once, delete the app from the device.
Parental gate
Subscription purchases, links out of the app, sharing an aquarium snapshot and the printable colouring pages are protected by a short arithmetic question that a young child is unlikely to answer. If the answer is wrong, a new question appears.
Privacy

The first fish is free; the optional Live Aquarium Plus subscription (unlimited fish) is sold by Apple — restore it in Settings → Plus subscription → Restore purchases, manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings.
