I think that I'm noticing a trend here but, I figured I'd ask the Fish Tycoon guru's before I really obsessed about it. Whenever I have a tank with 15+ fish in it I get very few if any babies. My question is: Will to many fish in the tank cause my fish fertility fiasco?

It's not really a fertility issue, but rather a space issue. In the Windows version you can have a maximum of 21 fish (or 20 fish and the seahorse) in each tank. If babies are born into a crowded tank, any babies that are born after the limit is reached will be 'eaten' by the other fishies! So, if you have, say 15 fish and the seahorse in your tank and make all 15 fish pregnant, 5 babies will be born and survive, and 10 babies will be 'eaten' by the other fish.

At least we don't have to SEE it happen, as in the case of a real aquarium!

Yanno, I found it a little easier to delete the sick fish I didnt want to spend $$ on after that! All I had to do was picture them eating poor baby fish!!

lol... I sometimes felt that way with REAL fish too! I'd get so mad at them for going to all that trouble to find just the right spot to lay eggs, tend the eggs so carefully, for what seemed like forever... then, when they would hatch, it was like... "mmmm, look! Cheetos!"

Wow, Thanks for the mental picture of your "psycho" themed fish tank ;o)

I will NEVER look at a fish the same way again! lol

Fortunately, I never saw any blood. Baby fish are more like "popcorn shrimp" to the adult fish. No mess, just one gulp and they're gone. (yuck!)
