I have been playing this game for over a thousand hours and have one fish to find - number one of course. Somehow I missed it. Does anyone have any suggestions - did I miss the fish on the way up or can I find it by breeding the more expensive fish. Not too sure which way to go.

From everything I've read, I am told that you get it from hatching common fish eggs. I've tried two or three batches so far, and have not come up with it yet, but that's what I have read to do.

*nods in agreement*

I've hatched 5 common fish eggs so far, but nothing. I'm still trying ...

You can breed Magic Fish number one, but only from a handful of combinations (unlike most of the other fish, which can be produced from dozens and dozens of combinations). Finding those combinations will usually require more than just a random approach to breeding. Most people find it easier just to hatch it from eggs.

I was able to breed it, but only because I KNEW what it looked like. It still took a while because I had to get the combo just right, but I had a good idea based on what the end result was.

If you want to know what it looks like...do a google search. I think that is how I found it.

But like you, it was the last one I got, too.

The body is impossible to breed from two different fish. The only way to get this fish is to breed two fish with the same bodies and the prerequisite fins. Or hatch it.

Which does rather make this common fish, really very uncommon. If you see what I mean.

Exactly. That is what I did. I had the 2 bodies but it was basically luck.

keep beading different types of spotanus..that is the only kind of fish that makes it

I actually had pretty good luck quickly finding magic fish #1. Just keeping buying common eggs....

I've bred it, and quite easily.

its the greenfin spotanus blue with the spined

this is the only one i'm missing. i've discovered 249 species and haven't discovered any new ones in a few days. I keep buying fish eggs. Who are the parents?

cool!! I've also been looking for Fish #1 for a few weeks (7100 hours, 2710 fish sold, 249 species discovered - is this addictive or what!) I thought it was a spotanus, but good to get it confirmed. I guess i'll just keep hatching common eggs and mating spotani (?) I have $51,000 - should buy me a lot of batches...
