Early Fish Breeding Tip

Breed fish that look alike.

This way, you won’t waste your time breeding fish that die.

Breeding some combinations of fish results in babies that don’t thrive.

Starting with a pair that’s exactly the same ensures initial breeding success.

Watch out for Tank Limits

Tanks can hold a maximum of 20 fish.

If a pregnant fish has a baby in a tank already at its limit, the baby disappears.

Make the Best First Purchase

Supplies are difficult to obtain starting out.

It gets easier after you find a breed that earns you $40 or more for each sale.

The first thing you should work on buying is the Fish Environment.

It allows you to create more valuable fish, and without it, many baby fish die.

You also want to purchase your second tank when you’re able to.

This gives you more room to breed more fish and increase your output, thus increasing your income.

Keeping track of these combinations makes it easier to discover the magic fish.
