Waiting is hard for kids, and a restless child makes the whole room tense. Fishy gives every child something to make and something to watch: they color a paper fish, a parent scans it with a phone, and seconds later their fish swims in a shared aquarium on your TV.
How it works in 3 steps
- Color. Hand out a printable page from the fish coloring pages with a few crayons.
- Scan. A parent photographs the finished page with any phone.
- Swim. The fish appears in the aquarium on your waiting-room TV or computer, alongside every other child's fish.
Why venues choose Fishy
- Calmer rooms. Coloring is a quiet, focused activity, and the aquarium gives the room one shared thing to watch.
- No hardware to buy. Use the TV you already have. Families use their own phones.
- Hygienic. Paper pages, not shared tablets or toys.
- Memorable. Kids remember the place where their fish swam on the big screen, and parents share it.
- Five-minute setup. Print, open the aquarium link, done.
Use cases by venue
Pediatric clinics
Hand a page over with the check-in clipboard. The fish is on the TV before the child is called in. More for pediatric clinics.
Dentists and orthodontists
A familiar, creative task eases anxiety before a check-up, and watching their own fish swim is a reward kids look forward to on the next visit.
Family restaurants
Replace the kids menu crayons with a fish page. Kids stay seated and busy between ordering and the food arriving. More for restaurants.
Hotels and resorts
Run Fishy in the kids club or lobby. Each young guest adds a fish to the hotel aquarium during their stay. More for hotels.
Pricing
The enterprise plan is $1,080 per aquarium per year (about $90 per month), with up to 30 fish per aquarium for commercial use. Pay by credit card, Google Pay or PayPal. Monthly billing is also available on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
What equipment does a venue need?
A TV or computer screen with a browser, printed fish coloring pages, and crayons. Parents scan finished pages with their own phones, so you do not need tablets.
How much does Fishy cost for a business?
The enterprise plan is $1,080 per aquarium per year, about $90 per month. A monthly enterprise option is also available on the pricing page.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes: print pages, open the shared aquarium on your TV from app.swimfishy.com, and leave crayons where families sit.
Is it hygienic?
Yes. Each child gets their own paper page, so there are no shared tablets or toys to sanitize between families.
Can we use the free or personal plan in our business?
No. Free and personal plans are for home use. Commercial venues such as clinics, dental offices, restaurants and hotels use the enterprise plan.
How many fish can swim in one aquarium?
The enterprise plan allows 30 fish per aquarium, and you can remove fish to make room for new ones.
