Fish Life is a simulation of a fish tank witih an added touch screen, allowing users to interact with virtual fish. Users can call the fishes (fishes will react to users voice causing a number of reactions on the fishes like happiness, anger, sadness) , feed the fishes and watch them grow, draw in the screen (users can draw a fish and watch it being followed by the other fishes while moving it), when users touch a fish his name and species will appear and its even possible to make music with a virtual piano. While designed to be placed in an arcade environment, it is not an arcade game, instead being designed as "interior decor" or "healing art"[2]. Fish Life is free to play but has no goals and never "ends", instead acting more of a distraction. It does not accept currency and loops endlessly to relieve boredom.
Two models where launched by SEGA, Model HKS-0200 (Basic Edition, no sound recognition capabilities) and Model HKS-0100 (Playful Edition, with sound recognition capabilities).
