One day, with just an inkling of what he was about to launch, Fruity Snacks typed a message into Fishcord saying, “You know what… If one was so inclined, they could use a house to have private rooms for all types of aquariums.”Ģ8 days later, the Eorzean Aquarium officially opened for business.

So he began researching what this venue could possibly look like, and the idea of a hangout space eventually snowballed into a full-blown concept for an aquarium. There is the Fishcord, a Discord group where fishers flock to in order to get advice, master fishing, and just chat - but, well, it wasn’t the same as hanging out in Eorzea.

There’s even a gift store, cafe, and a newly added Touch Tank room. Created by one fisher with a dream, Fruity Snacks, and over 20 volunteers, the Eorzean Aquarium is a community-driven initiative with more than 90 aquarium tanks housing every displayable in-game fish. The Eorzean Aquarium is a sprawling exhibit of FFXIV‘s marine life.
