Jollyfish is a UK aquarium brand built around connected care. We exist so the routines that already matter in your tank - noticing, understanding, adjusting - stay clearer as the setup grows. Our platform, AquaMaestro, is a smart aquarium controller and app designed to support those routines without taking responsibility away from you.
Aquariums come into people’s lives for different reasons.
For some, it starts with the beauty of a planted tank. For others, it is a technical challenge, a small experiment, a quiet routine, or simply the wish to bring a living world into the home.
Once there is life inside the glass, something changes. You notice when the water looks different. You learn the habits of the fish. You adjust the light, check the temperature, trim the plants, worry when something feels off, and feel settled when the whole aquarium is thriving.
That is CARE!
As the aquarium grows, that care can become scattered - across separate timers, readings, apps, equipment and advice. Jollyfish exists to keep that care connected.
What Jollyfish stands for
We organise everything we build around a simple idea: Aquarium care, better connected.
In practice that means:
Care first: Technology only where it makes daily care clearer
Clarity: Routines you can see and understand, not guess
Connection: Supported equipment and guidance brought into one place where it helps
You remain the keeper: Tools support your judgement; they DO NOT replace it
Our emotional promise is straightforward: Stay close to the little world you care for.
How that shows up in the product
Jollyfish builds AquaMaestro - a smart aquarium controller and app. The idea is not “automate everything on day one.” It is: Start with the routines that matter every day (such as heating and lighting schedules), keep control in your hands, and grow when your tank needs more.

At a Glance: What We Stand For vs. What We Are Not
| Principle | What Jollyfish & AquaMaestro Stand For | What Jollyfish is Not |
|---|---|---|
| Role of Technology | Empowering the keeper through clear visibility, routines, and connected data | Not a promise that technology will run the aquarium for you |
| Daily Routines | Supporting daily care with reliable scheduling (heating, lighting, and monitoring) | Not a claim that any system can guarantee water quality or prevent all problems |
| Keeper Judgment | Assisting human judgement and strengthening the keeper's bond with the tank | Not a push to replace observation, learning, or quiet care habits |
What Jollyfish is not
No full autopilot: Not a promise that technology will run the aquarium for you
No silver bullet: Not a claim that any system can guarantee water quality or prevent all problems
No keeper replacement: Not a push to replace observation, learning, or the quiet habits that make someone a keeper
We believe the best aquarium technology should not make you feel further from the living world you built. It should help you stay closer to it.
