What an AI aquarium app actually does
Generic care sheets don't know your tank. An AI aquarium app does — it reads photos, factors in your water tests, and gives advice tuned to your water type, livestock, and setup. Here's what TankMate does:
AI photo diagnosis
Something looks off? Photograph your tank and get a plain-English read on the likely problem — algae, disease signs, coral or plant stress, water-quality symptoms — cross-referenced with your logged tests, so it catches the real cause. See the fish disease identifier for the common ones.
In-store compatibility scanner
At the store, snap a fish before you buy. TankMate checks it against your tank — size, water type, temperament, and existing livestock — and tells you if it fits or will cause problems. No more wrong-fish regret. (More in our fish compatibility checker.)
AI species ID
Don't know what you're looking at? Photograph a fish, coral, or plant and TankMate identifies it, then adds it to your inventory with its care needs.
Water logging & a Tank Health Score
Log parameters — auto-tailored per tank type — and get a single 0–100 Tank Health Score with trends over time, so you catch drift before it becomes a crash. See the ideal reef parameters or fix a freshwater ammonia spike.
Every tank, one app
TankMate tailors what it tracks, the species it knows, and the compatibility rules it enforces to your exact setup — reef, saltwater fish-only, freshwater, African cichlid, planted, shrimp & nano, or axolotl.
