Background: Fishtank Live is a 24/7 streamed reality competition show where contestants are confined to a smart house for several weeks, often subjected to psychological challenges, pranks, and audience-driven manipulation. Created by comedian Sam Hyde, the show focuses on raw, unscripted social interaction and allows viewers to pay for "fishtoys" to directly influence the contestants' environment. The Fishtank is a streamer house monitored 24/7 and broadcasted live to the world. All bedrooms have cameras, common spaces are monitored via video and audio surveillance. When the lights go out, the IR comes on. The Fishtank house is always on.

Concept: Similar to Big Brother, but with a more intense, "social experiment" focus designed to force contestants to be their "true selves" under surveillance. Interaction: Viewers can pay to send text-to-speech (TTS) messages, sound effects (SFX), and "fishtoys" to annoy or influence the contestants. Format: The show runs for multiple weeks (e.g., 42 days), featuring a rotating cast of contestants who compete for a cash prize. The show confines a group of contestants inside a house for several weeks with only two rules: don't leave and don't smoke weed. Camera feeds for every room of the house are streamed online 24/7 on the website, a mobile app, and part-time on YouTube and Kick. Subscribed viewers can interact with the contestants and conditions in the house in real-time buy purchasing tokens that can be spent on text-to-speech messages, AI generated sound effects, and fishtoys (digital items that trigger real-world events such as stealing the mattress from a contestant or giving out gifts). The competition is unpredictable and humiliating. Players are constantly manipulated by the crew, interacting with the audience, and in mental and physical competition with their fellow contestants. As more fish are eliminated or choose to leave, the pressure is gradually raised until only one is left standing. This person wins the competition and takes home the grand prize.
