Hi All

Love the game. Very addictive.
I do have a few suggestions for future releases though:-

1. Pause function - stop the fishes swimming around to check which ones are pregenant and for cross breeding etc.
2. As an alternative to setting individual prices for fish, how about having a % markup of the start values for all fish on sale. If you want money fast, set it at 50% (stocktake sale!!) or if you want to see some big bucks (after all advertising research is done) set it at 125%.
3. Fish netting - Use click and hold to make a box around all the fish you want to move. This would be great to quickly catch the hatchlings to move from tank to tank.

Cheers

Anyone else remember the Maxis game El-Fish? I did a review of it for Computer Gaming World back in the early 90's. Here's a Wikipedia entry for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El-Fish

I would like to have a genetic tree that you can navigate back more than two generations. A way to track which of the breeds you've discovered ala GBA Pokemon would be nice. This would be a grid that would fill in as you discovered fish. Then you could click on a graphic to read more specifics about that fish. Another thing that is sorely needed is a way to store eggs of specific breeds. This would compensate for the lack of fish tanks. And the topper of all toppers would be the ability to layout your own tanks with purchased or created decorative items. I don't like having to go with a fixed tank design. I love the game, eveyrone in the house is playing right now, just would like to see some of these improvements. I would think the highest on this list is the tracking of breeds somehow.

More suggestions.

A little counter next to each of the tank icons that showed how many fish were in that tank would be a great help.

A nursery tank would be good with nothing but gravel would be good too.

Although I am terribly addicted to this game, I would also like to see a few improvements...recordkeeping abilities being at the top of the list. But it would also be nice if the game could be expanded to have either larger tanks or the ability to purchase more tanks.

I would also like to be able to have more than one medicine at once...I've wasted more money buying one med and it curing a fish with 1 drop then having to turn around and buy the second to cure next disease only to come back later to find that there is another sick fish and I need the med that I had to get rid of before it was gone.

Just some ideas...

Here I am, back with some more suggestions:-

- It would be nice to have a logical journey towards getting the Magic fish. Maybe you can purchase clues about what breed you need, or maybe people will drop in to the store and exchange fish for ideas about what you are looking for.

- Warp time in the store. Click a button and time goes quick and you aren't sitting there waiting for the cashregister to click over.

or maybe a list of fish species would be helpful if someone wanna breed the species. so we wouldn't have to click on every fish. (-_-;)

In the next version I would like to have the ability to have 3 tanks plus the Sales Tank. Right now I use the Sales Tank as my breeding/nursery tank. By the time you're working on Magic Fish 5, 6 or 7 you're running out of room because you don't know what to get rid of because you don't know what exactly produces what except for what you have. I used the spreadsheets the first time and It quickly got boring so I started over without them.

Another suggestion I have is when you are selling the fish, you can see the number of fish you have left to sell but you can't see which ones they are. I think that information should be displayed whether in a list or by clicking on the tanks in the store.

I would like a way to turn of the annoying music in the fish store with out turning off the sound of the cash register.

i thank tere should have more fish like maybe 500 and 10 magic fish and like a mini bass a koi and wer you can chuse out of fresh watter and salt watter fish and there should be a tottle of 4 tanks besides sell tanks and there should be 2 sell tanks and y do you want ideas for a new vershion ps TDOG6675@aol.com
