There is a config.json located in the "[SMAPI] Stardew Aquarium" folder. The options are:
"EnableDebugCommands": False by default. Setting it to true will give some access to debugging commands not meant for normal play.
"CheckDonationCollection": You can set this to a keybind ( click here for available options ) to bring up the aquarium collection menu at any time. Remember to put the keybind in quotes ( " " )
You can also change the price of the train ticket in the TrainStops.json located in the [TrainStops] Stardew Aquarium folder. Simply change the "Cost": x, to however many G you want the ticket to cost.
How do I get to the Aquarium?
You get there by train, thanks to the Train Station framework mod. Go to the left side of the train station and click the ticket machine. A ticket costs 20 G.
The Aquarium is open from 10 AM to 9 PM except on festival days (then it's closed).
How do I donate fish?
Click the counter in front of the curator NPC while having an un-donated fish in your inventory. You can click the book on the left of the counter to see the collection menu.
What if I have sold/lost a legendary fish?
Aquarium does add a way to recatch legendary fish, by adding in a new "Legendary Bait" that can be attached to fishing rods. It allows the recatch of legendaries if:
1. The player has already caught the legendary previously
2. Are under the same conditions as the initial legendary fish spawn, with location, skill levels, weather, etc
When these conditions are met, equipped Legendary Bait will 100% guarantee you fish up the legendary, though you still need to play the mini-game for it
Can I add this mod to an existing save?
Yes, you can safely add or remove this mod to any save at any point.
Does this work on multiplayer?
Yes.
Does this work on Android?
Yes. The normal donation menu however doesn't work on Android, so it is replaced with a repurposed shop menu. For each fish you can donate, it'll look like you are "Purchasing" that fish for 0 G (See media for example) . This may be improved in the future.
Is this mod compatible with other mods?
Yes, we designed the mod to be compatible with as many mods as possible. [Including SVE]
What about modded fish?
If you have mods that adds more fish to the game, you can donate them to the aquarium. They will also be included in the achievement for donating all the fish.

There is currently a bug with Teh's Fishing Overhaul (the 2.1.5 unofficial update), where you will only catch trash on the new map. There is a way to fix this however. Follow the steps in this post.
Even following the steps in that post it's not possible to catch the secret legendary fish added with this mod installed. There is unfortunately nothing we can do about that on our end. You could temporarily disable the overhaul if you are trying to catch the legendary fish and then enable it again afterwards.
You can post bug reports in the "Bugs" section on this page, please remember to add a SMAPI log to the report.
