Draw an aquarium Patch Notes & Launch Timeline

The Updates Hub is the timeline and watchlist for Draw an aquarium. The Roblox Simulation / Tycoon experience by SanderManderen was created on 27 October 2026 (universe 10773262148, place Draw an aquarium). By mid-November 2026 the place sat near ~1.09M visits and ~92K favorites, with servers still capped at 7 players. Early patches touch decorations, luck, promo codes, UI, economy pacing—and, as of 8–10 November, a new tank themes monetization layer. This page tells you what to verify after every update so money-per-second plans, rarity goals, and star checklists stay accurate.

Cross-check live rewards on the Codes Hub, progression on the Guides Hub and Getting Started, Robux products on Game Passes and Tank Themes, rarity on the Tier List Hub, and official URLs on the Links Hub.

Launch and November timeline

Date / phase	What landed	Player takeaway
27 Oct 2026	Experience created / public launch	Core loop live: draw fish, stars, rarity + mutation, money/sec, tank & luck, prop decor.
Launch week	Soft balance and onboarding polish	Re-read Getting Started if shop or tutorial labels shift.
~6 Nov 2026	Halloween Bundle off-sale	Do not chase expired limiteds on third-party sites.
8–10 Nov 2026	Tank themes wave (Midnight Bloom, Ember Foundry, Mermaid Garden listing)	Themes ≠ prop decorations; paid themes advertise +10% money. See Tank Themes.
~10 Nov 2026	Mermaid Garden listed, not for sale	Watch this hub—do not buy “early unlock” scams.
11 Nov 2026	Place update window; visits ~1.09M	Recheck passes, theme sale flags, luck text, and Codes.

Because the game is young, patch cadence can be fast. Treat every login as a quick audit: shop prices, luck upgrade text, prop catalogue, theme storefront, and any on-screen code redeem entry.

November themes wave (read this if you still think “decor = everything”)

Themes are a new storefront layer distinct from placeable props:

• Midnight Bloom (~299 Robux) — theme + +10% money
• Ember Foundry (~399 Robux) — theme + +10% money (premium look, same advertised money tag)
• Mermaid Garden — listed ~10 Nov, not for sale at research time

Prop decorations remain the in-game cash / placement layer. Buy capacity and money props before Robux themes. Stacking with VIP (+20% money) and x2 Money is covered on Tank Themes and Game Passes.

Core systems that patches usually touch

1. Drawing quality and star ratings

Star ratings drive how strong your fish feel before the rarity roll. If a patch mentions drawing, scoring, or “quality,” re-run size, colours, detail, eyes, and neatness via 5-Star Fish and Tools. A scoring tweak can make yesterday’s masterpiece average—or make cleaner line work pay more.

2. Rarity and mutation tables

Live rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, SECRET. Mutations: Gold, Diamond, Rainbow. Patches may change weights or showcase odds. Refresh the Tier List Hub after rarity notes. Badge goals—Legendary Catch, Secret Fish (extremely rare award counts), Rainbow Fish (uncommon)—are tracked on Badges.

3. Luck upgrades

Luck is the long-term lever on roll quality. Free luck versus paid x2 Luck / lucky templates is explained on Luck Upgrades. Updates that reprice luck change whether you buy luck before tank expansions.

4. Tank capacity and money per second

Economy patches retune passive income, upgrade costs, or capacity. If money/sec shifts overnight, avoid panic-selling keepers—rebuild spend order with Make Money Fast and note any new VIP / theme / x2 Money interactions.

5. Prop decorations vs themes

New props change placement catalogues and often list money boosts. New themes change whole-tank visuals and may add +10% money. After either drop, scout a full 7-player server on the Players Hub route and re-read Decorations plus Tank Themes.

6. Codes and limited gifts

Still no confirmed promo codes at research time, even past 1M+ visits—but milestone patches often ship strings later. Verify only on Codes. Halloween going off-sale is a reminder that limiteds expire; themes and bundles will too.

7. Game passes storefront

Pass prices (More Templates, Colour Wheel, Starter Pack, Mona Lisa, Sea Creatures, VIP, x2 Luck, x2 Money, themes) can change. Use Game Passes as the wiki mirror, then confirm on Roblox before spending.

What to watch in each patch notes pass

1. Themes / bundles — sale status, +% money text, Mermaid Garden availability.
2. Prop decorations — names, costs, money boosts.
3. Luck changes — free track prices; x2 Luck wording.
4. Codes — new strings after visit milestones.
5. Rarity / mutation odds — any explicit chance language.
6. Economy — money/sec, VIP/theme stacking notes.
7. QoL — drawing tools, redeem panel, template UI.
8. Badges — new criteria beyond the five on Badges.

How to react without derailing progress

• If luck is buffed, pivot spare cash into luck before cosmetic shopping.
• If themes headline and odds are unchanged, buy showpieces only after capacity and props are healthy.
• If codes drop, redeem first, then spend.
• If rarity changes, re-rank keepers with the Tier List.
• If star rules change, pause heavy rolls until one practice fish clears the checklist.

Optional tooling under Scripts may break when UI patches land. Account safety beats automation speed.

Suggested logging habit

After each patch note:

• Date and place version if visible
• Themes/passes owned or skipped
• Codes redeemed
• Luck level before / after spending
• One rarity or mutation highlight
• Props placed

That log makes the next visit to this Updates Hub faster and keeps Wiki reading paired with real save progress.
