- Each fish has its own decorative trophy.
- Includes two functional aquarium models — perfect for decorating your base with lively marine life.

HOW IT WORKS (click to expand)
- Fish are naturally generated in coral reefs and ocean islands that spawn on the map.
- Catch fish and use them to create trophies, add them to your Aquarium, or convert them into Raw Fish.
- Interact with the aquarium to feed the fish and watch their realistic swimming and feeding behavior.
THE AQUARIUM SYSTEM (click to expand)
- Captured fish can be added to the Aquariums;
- Coral Fish (Medium Aquarium) Ocean Fish (Large Aquarium);
- Use the default interaction key (E) to feed the fish.
- They will swim toward the feeding point and orbit around the food for a while.
- Fish do not feel hunger or die; feeding is purely a visual effect.
- Includes visual effects and feeding particles for immersion.
- Attention: When destroying an Aquarium, fish will not be returned.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
