Game overview

About the game

Pop bubble fish into matching tanks and clear the aquarium.

Fish Sort Puzzle is an underwater sorting game. Tap a fish trapped in a floating bubble and send it to a tank that already holds the same kind of fish. Match three fish in one tank to clear it and make room for the next batch. The catch is the holding tray: any fish without a matching tank has to wait there, and the tray is small. Keep it from filling up, and use boosters when the board jams.

How to play

How to play Fish Sort Puzzle

    Drop it into a tank that already holds the same kind of fish. Three matching fish clear the tank.

    When the board jams, use a booster to clear a fish or make room.

  5. 5

    Clearing tanks unlocks new aquarium scenes and adds fish to your collection.
