* GenreDeconstruction: Of the RealityShow and its contemporary tropes. Because Fishtank is streamed 24/7, there is absolutely no room for ManipulativeEditing, resulting in unprecedented authenticity. Furthermore, rather than casting snobby, attractive upper middle class people from one city, the bulk of the contestants are somewhat shy, nerdy middle to lower class people from both in and outside the US.

It will not appear while any of the fish are awake.

Fishtank.live is a competitive 24/7 livestream hosted by Internet personality Sam Hyde (also known as "Jason Goldstriker"). Locked together in a house for six weeks, eight strangers compete to see who can outlast the others and win a grand prize of $10,000.
The stream is directly inspired by ''Series/BigBrother'': the participants are isolated in the house with no other entertainment, while Hyde and his producers occasionally enter to interact and issue challenges. Every room is constantly under broadcast, with livestream viewers able to switch between camera and audio feeds. Viewers can also pay money to mess with contestants or otherwise make the contest more interesting.
The livestream is currently hosted [[https://www.fishtank.live/ here]].

!!Fishtank.live provides examples of these tropes:
* [[AnyoneCanDie Anyone Can Be Evicted]]: All of the contestants are at danger of elimination throughout the six-week runtime -- if they don't decide to drop out first. Elimination is stated to be based on a mixture of contest performance and audience participation.
* AudienceParticipation: Along with having a live chat for subscribers, viewers can spend money on "tokens", which they can spend to vote on polls, or send text-to-speech messages to various rooms in the house. They can also cash in their tokens on "fishtoys", with various effects such as sending goodies to contestants, switching on/off camera feeds, or turning up or down the temperature in the house.
