Cozy Aquarium Residents - June 23, 2026

The themes in rooms 30 and 33 haven't changed, and neither have the residents in room 30, but we have a new resident in room 33! Please welcome Purse of Riches. (I caught it again today.)

While Purse is sharing a Tier 4 tank with other fish in room 30, in room 33, it gets its own little tank:

Junkmonger, meanwhile, has gone into storage with the other Tier 4 Aquarium.

As always, visitors are welcome at the Cozy Aquarium!

Cozy Aquarium Residents - October 1, 2025

There are some new residents at the aquarium! I've started fishing in Shadowbringers zones again, so some of our guests hail from the First.

Left top: Ondobane; Left bottom: Sirensong Mullet, Bubble Angler, Swordfish, Bonefish.

Rear: Ukiki. (I just think this looks hilarious)

Right: This is still Warden of the Seven Hues. For now, I can't imagine evicting him!

These pics also feature the minion I just fished up in Shaaloani, the Sunray Ray.

Come visit the aquarium at the Cozy beach house! Aether > Midgardsormr > Mist > Ward 25, Plot 5, room 30.

Cozy has moved to Mist!

We are now located in Aether > Midgardsormr > Mist > Ward 25, Plot 5! Our home has a beautiful view of the ocean.

The move jostled the aquarium in room 30 a bit, and rather than try to fix the summer theme, I just threw together another quasi-space theme 😂

Room 33 will have a theme someday, I promise.

Our room 30 residents are still:

Left top: Copper Shark

Left bottom: Hydro Louvar

Middle: Liopleurodon

Right: Warden of the Seven Hues

And our room 33 residents are still:

Top left: Helmsman’s Hand

Top right: Junkmonger

Bottom left: Megalodon

Bottom right: Funnel Shark

My glam is the Seneschal Prince's Headset, undyed; the Star Captain Coat in Rhotano Blue and Gobbiebag Brown; the Star Crew Gloves, undyed; the Star Crew Trousers in Soot Black; and the Summertide Formal Dress Shoes in Rhotano Blue. I'm also wearing Weathered Earrings.

Aquarium 2: Electric Boogaloo

There's now a second aquarium! No theme yet, but we have four fishy friends:

Current Residents

Top left: Helmsman's Hand

Top right: Junkmonger

Bottom left: Megalodon

Bottom right: Funnel Shark

Come visit them at Aether, Midgardsormr, The Goblet Ward 2 Plot 43, Room 33!

Be sure to also check out the original aquarium in Room 30.

Cozy Aquarium Closed for Renovation

It will reopen soon with a new theme!

[ronacaldera]

I got some shiny new toys today

[runekept]

I truly don't get why the common stereotype of tank/healer MMO couples is surly toughguy tank and anxious people-pleaser healer because every time I queue in as a healer I can feel myself physically turning into the devil

[osterby]

The actual healer archeytpes are Bones McCoy, underpaid pre-school teacher, and sadistic dom.

The actual tank archetypes are meathead himbo, parent trying to drive the car while the kids fight in the back, and masochistic sub

Cozy Aquarium Residents and Theme - May 2025

Not only am I a crafter/gatherer main, but I adore Endwalker, and I've been an outer space nut my entire life. After Cosmic Exploration came out, I knew I had to update the aquarium in tribute.

Here's my take on the bridge of an Eorzean spacecraft, where magic and science come together—or are perhaps indistinguishable from each other.

Me in the captain's chair. My glam is the Star Crew Jacket in Metallic Pink and Pearl White, False Nails, the Craftsman's Leather Trousers in Pearl White, Frontier Pumps in Metallic Pink, the White Paperflower Earring, and the Eternity Ring.

View from the door, and view of the door.

The guestbook—would love it if you stopped by!—and mannequins modeling the Cosmosuit in Metallic Pink and the Star Crew attire in Metallic Cobalt Green.

Current Residents

Larboard Fore: Hannibal, Discus, and Dravanian Squeaker.

Starboard Fore: Yanxian Barramundi, Flowerhorn, Variatus, and Ka Puyhu.

Larboard Aft: Pipira Pira, Judgment Staff, and Bonytongue.

Starboard Aft: Euphotic Pirarucu.

Engage!

If you'd like to visit the Cozy Aquarium, head to Aether > Midgardsormr > The Goblet, Ward 2, Plot 43.
