In this guide we will go over the beginners guide to getting started in becoming the champion FishVille breeder!
Overview:
FishVille is a game like where you try to become the best Aquarium Business owner by raising fish and selling fish. Each time you level and gain more coin you can customize your fish tank by buying different fish, plants, backgrounds, decorations and tanks.
Getting Started:
1.) Create your tank – By default when first playing the game, the game will automatically create one for you with a great demonstration show.
2.) Buy Eggs & Sell Fish – You need to get fish eggs to start, which can be found in the Store. You will see many types of fish, but what is most important are the fish you can afford to buy and what their growth time is. Growth time is the duration of time it takes for a fish to grow from a baby to an adult. To buy a fish, click Buy in the Store, and the cursor will change to an egg. Every click drops a new fish egg, and charges your account. Each fish needs time to grow into an adult in order to be sold. Roll over a baby fish to see the percentage of their maturation time left to grow before it becomes an adult.
When starting sell your fish you have right away. Click on the sell tool and choose a “junior” one to start off. After you have the coins from selling that fish, you can use them to buy fish eggs that will eventually grow into full-size fish – the larger they grow, the more they’re worth. To buy fish eggs, click on “Store” and select the fish you want. You can then drop them in your tank by clicking inside it.
3.) Feed your fish -
Review Fish Status
Move the mouse around the tank and roll over any fish. You will see them stop so you can get a good look at them. Their status is very important to successfully raising many schools of happy fish!
Feeding Fish
Fish get hungry, and it’s easy to feed them. Simply click on the Fish Fish tool button in the lower right of the screen, and click to drop a flake directly in the tank. Food is especially important for Adult Fish – if they Starve for an entire age cycle, they will die!
Adult Fish
Fish can take anywhere from fifteen minutes to four or more days to grow before they can be sold. Rolling over fish will show you their current growth and hunger. Adult fish will also show the cash value and experience you will get when you sell them. Once fish become adults they will become hungry at the same rate equal to their growth, and then starve for the same rate (example: a one day fish will die of starvation after two days have passed with no food). You need to sell the fish before it dies, or feed it to keep it longer. Remember, baby fish cannot be sold.
Netting Fish To Sell
Click the Sell Fish tool in the lower right of the screen, and move the Net icon over an Adult fish. Click the mouse to scoop up the fish and immediately sell it for coins and experience.
Mature Fish
Patient fish breeders can let their fish age longer so they grow larger and become more valuable. Make sure you come back to feed your fish often or you risk losing your investment! Simply feed your adult fish to keep them from being hungry, but do not sell yet. In their next growth cycle, they will have aged, making them even more valuable (rolling the cursor over a fish will show their age cycle and new value). The longer you keep feeding them, the more valuable they will become! At Age 4, they will grow one last time!
Cleaning the Fish Tank
Algae will grow on the tank, and it’s easy to remove it. Simply roll the mouse over the algae and click on it. It will disappear and you will be rewarded for your efforts!
Level and Experience
Actions like buying fish, selling fish, removing dead fish, cleaning your tank’s algae and helping friends award experience points. As these points accumulate, your level will raise and more items will be unlocked for you to use and send as gifts to your friends.
Fish Store
Click the Store icon to open the menu. From here you can purchase a variety of items:
Fish Eggs
This is where sea life begins. The better investments will require higher levels of experience.
Plants
These underwater plants add beauty to the tank.
Decorations
These items add personality and charm to any fish tank. After placing it, you can click it again to flip it or change its size, or drag it to place it somewhere else in the tank.
More Tanks
You can purchase additional tanks to further expand your personal aquatic world.
Gifting
You can receive gifts from your friends and send gifts to them as well. Send gifts to your friends often, and they’ll be sure to return the favor! Remember, gaining more experience will unlock new gifts.
Also, the only way to receive special creatures is through gifts!
Neighbors
By using the My Neighbors page you can invite any of your friends to be one of your neighbors. They will then show up on your Neighbor Ladder which will allow you to visit them anytime. However, your friend must accept the invitation first.
Visiting and Helping Neighbors
All Neighbors are shown in the Neighbor Ladder at the bottom of the tank. By clicking on a Neighbor, you will visit that Neighbor’s tank! Usually your Neighbor will ask you to perform a job to help them, which will award
