FROM A PHOTO TO A CLEARER PICTURE
Less guessing. More getting to know your tank.
What is Aqua AI?
Aqua AI is an aquarium app for iPhone and Android. Its photo scan brings editable tank profiles, suggested fish and plant identification, and water-test records into one workflow.
- Aquarium profiles
- Editable details for a tank, its livestock, plants and equipment.
- Individual scans
- Suggested identification and editable observations for fish, plants and other aquatic life. Visible health concerns are hypotheses, not diagnoses.
- Water-test preview
- Experimental readings from prepared strips or reagent tests with the matching legible reference chart in the same photo. Results can be corrected and linked to an aquarium; real-world reading accuracy has not been validated across kits.
- Saved records
- Editable aquarium profiles and linked water-test history help keep observations together. Review suggested details before relying on them.
- Public availability
- Available on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. This website does not offer web scanning.
Product information updated September 23, 2026.
Point, snap, recognize.
Photograph a fish, aquatic plant, coral, or prepared water test. Aqua AI identifies species candidates and digitizes chemistry color pads within seconds.
Context that matters.
Detect visible health symptoms, calculate un-ionized toxic free ammonia (NH3), and evaluate species-specific water parameter tolerances before issues escalate.
Your tank memory, unified.
Keep multi-tank timelines, livestock logs, parameter history, and maintenance routines locally on your device with complete privacy.
Universal photo scans for aquarium profiles, fish and plant identification, and water-test records. Always follow test kit instructions for water safety.

Before you dive in
How does photo scanning work?
Take a clear, well-lit photo of your aquarium, a fish, an aquatic plant, or a prepared test kit (strips or liquid tubes next to their color card). Aqua AI uses Gemini AI vision models to detect candidates, evaluate visible health signals, or digitize chemistry readings.
What do I get in the free plan?
Aqua AI is free to download on iOS and Android. You get 5 free lifetime AI scans, unlimited aquarium profiles, complete livestock and plant tracking, unlimited water parameter logs, and access to all species care guides.
What test kit brands are supported?
Aqua AI supports API Master Test Kits, API 5-in-1 Test Strips, Tetra EasyStrips, Salifert test kits, Red Sea, and Seachem kits. Ensure the printed reference color chart is visible in the frame for accurate review.
Can I download Aqua AI today?
Yes, Aqua AI is available on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
Can a photo tell me if my water is safe?
No. A photo of your aquarium cannot measure ammonia, nitrite or other dissolved water parameters. Use an appropriate test kit and follow its instructions.
Is this a fish disease identifier?
A scan may flag a possible visible issue, but it cannot diagnose a disease. Combine observations with measured water parameters and seek qualified help when a fish appears unwell.
Does Aqua AI keep an aquarium log?
Yes. You can edit aquarium profiles and keep dated water-test records. Review suggested details and keep your own backup of important measurements.
