Thank you Happy Player for the tips.
I apologize to everyone for my attitude yesterday. I'm in the middle of trying to deal with a company I downloaded and purchased a game from because I tried the online version, loved it, purchased it, downloaded it, and it's not running right, and I've been fighting with the company that sold it to me, and as a result, it's put me into a bad mood regarding the purchase of online games in general.
And Arnie, I do blame LDW because the game I purchased that is having issues, is an LDW/Oberon Media game, so my frustrations from the game I purchased leaked into this game.
Anyway, like I said, I'm sorry for my attitude, this has just been very frustrating because the company I'm dealing with, is as stubborn as I am.
I am having slightly better success with the online version of FT last night and today, and the last time I restarted the game, I managed to get two fish of the same species right off the bat, so breeding them has been good, and I've been making a little extra money. I did go ahead and buy medicine to cure my stock of ick and fungas though, because if I didn't, I would have lost my breeding stock, and I really didn't want to have to start over again. I did also use my growth hormone, but since I am able to breed my fish (the two same species ones, and two that aren't the same species but for some reason are compatible), I'm not worried about my cash flow, because I'll hopefully be able to raise more cash soon to either buy more, or look into research for food/environment/etc.. I am trying to figure out why two fish that are essentially the same species of fish are producing additional fish of their species that for some reason are not surviving, even though the original fish are doing fine. It's really confusing why some species that seem the same aren't compatable, and some that you wouldn't think would be compatable right off the bat, are.
I'm also still having trouble with magic fish showing up as magic fish. Is there a specific level you need to reach before they show up as magic?
Anyway, sorry again for my bad mood, and attitude yesterday.
