Fish Stages Overview
Eggs – You gain a small amount of xp when you first buy eggs. Eggs are the very first things you buy when raising your fish. You can not sell eggs as they merely take 1 second to hatch a baby fish.
Baby – When your eggs first hatch, baby fish will spawn and you will need to immediately feed them before they die.
Junior – This stage, fish will become larger and has a couple levels (4) with each taking the same time as it took to get to Junior. Each level in the junior stage increases displayed size, coins earned on selling, experience (xp) earned upon selling, and how long a fish can go without food.
Adult – From last junior level to this stage is same interval as before. Additionally, time that fish can go without food gets increased by a day. Ie. Sardines can go hours without food.
Note: Level 4 is the highest growth stage but apparently your meter still fills after level 4 and some people have witnessed level 5 stages. *Update Level 5+ fish do not gain any extra XP or Coins noted at this time see post “
Feeding
Fish need to be fed at least twice while in the baby stage and at least once every level beyond. Once a fish hits level fourth, each level takes a day, regardless of initial growth rate. Time from full to starving is twice the growth rate. As the fish gets hungry, it will get a yellow food icon, red food icon, then the red food icon will blink, and finally the fish will die if not fed. Dead fish can be removed with +1 to your experience. At this time, dead fish cannot be revived.
For more information, check out the Fish Feeding Guide
Fish
The selling points/levels are listed as junior 1-3 and adult 4 to match both the expressed level and level title when a fish can be sold for that amount of coins and experience (xp). A fish at the second selling level, will be at Junior 2 and a fish at the fourth selling level will be Adult 4

Hi, thanks for posting this info. Nicely put together. However I have noticed that you have the selling XP stats incorrrect for the Blue Hippo Tang … mine are on level 3 and the XP is 702, not 78.
But great work otherwise and hats off to you for taking the time to put it together for the rest of us
