Arrgghh!! I finally researched all of the fish environments and got seahorses and plants and stuff so now I can finally breed new fish and have gone a little nuts...

So now I have so many different breeds of fish, and different fin and body types than I'm not enjoying selling any fish, but I have 20 fish in each tank and babies along the way so have to sell some....

If there's 2 same fish, I breed one, and sell the other, so another fishy will be along the way soon, but gives me room for one more fish! I need more tanks!!

And to top it all off, I still only have 2 magic fish... I seem to not be able to get the right combinations.

So I'm going to have to decide which are good fish to keep, and sacrifice others!

I don't want to sel any of my pretty fishies!!!! :P

2manyfish, that is a prob everyone has. Here is what I did when I first started and after I got all my research completed. I kept one of every fin type I had, and bread different combo's keeping a log of each combo and what it produced. This way you will know what fin types need to be bread together to get a certain result. When I was done with fin types, I then kept one kind of each breed, and did the same thing. I was able to luck into all but two magic fish this way. And by doing so I could keep almost all of my breeders in tank one, and a few in tank two and put the prego's in the sale tank. Never ran out of room that way. There are other ways to play, but this is how I did it.

I've actually got 4 magic fish now, and have been using the Clever Arts software to work out how to get a particular type of fish and what I get if I cross 2 fish together.

To tell you the truth, rather than just trying to get all the magic fish, I'd love to just be able to get lots more tanks, then makes heaps of new breeds, and run it as a fish store type thing, and have the aim to get as many breeds as possible and make as much money as possible (and be able to upgrade the store itself and that kinda stuff).

Sometimes I think having more tanks would be a great option, BUT... half the fun is figuring out how to do what you want within the limits. (hmmm, does that say something about my personality?) Anyway. In one of my tanks I've found all the magic fish, in the rest I'm experimenting with different combos and keeping track. celebane? I think? has created a program for keeping track easily. THANK YOU!! My hubby thinks I spend WAY too much time on this game, hehe. I also have found a chart, I think it was on another site, about how to figure out what you will get with what. I'll post it, but I'm not entirely sure of the results since I'm still testing it myself, so far it seems to be working.
