TankWiseKnow before you buyGet TankWise freeTankWise is a family-run app, built by a family team of freshwater fishkeepers. Our aquariums, experience levels, and day-to-day observations help shape both TankWise and the practical tools made by Simply Submerged Aquatics.
Four perspectives, from a first betta tank to four decades of freshwater experience. Tank photos shown here are the team's own.

The product is shaped around aquariums the team actually keeps, from a planted betta setup to a 220-gallon community tank.
New and long-time fishkeepers test whether the language, steps, and results make sense without assuming expert knowledge.
Aquarium guides link their references and state what TankWise can and cannot determine from the information a user provides.
When a guide records human review, it identifies the reviewer, review date, and the specific checks that were completed.
