i use my head i memorize all the fishes names then what they make when breeded it workes for people like me

I keep a spreadsheet with three worksheets:
1. Species list (so that I know which fish I have and have not found)
2. Fin combinations
3. Body type combinations

this is to worst game ever i idvise you not to buy it

While you are certainly welcome to your opinion ; most of us, here, find Fish Tycoon quite ejoyable.

I, for one, would encourage many people to pay the registration fee and play the full version of the game.

I started out by buying a second set of eggs. I saved one just in case. I bred a fairly pricey fish until I had a lot of money. I think it was a bananafish. I saved up enough money for the temp. regulator, and the first envirnomen upgarde.

I beat the game without uses charts or memorization. But, it took a lot longer than it took most people who used charts.

I played 2 times..got 4 of 7 first time to help me figure out what works(and what breeds what)...then I just started making $$$ with some $30-$50 fish and started saearching for the magic fish I got the golden guppy first time I played and that is the big money maker. so the only fish I had a hard time searching for was #1.. the reg eggs just wernt giving me one for a long time... to seek out new breeds I used the unknown chemical on preg fish until I would find a new magic fish.(hint make sure your fish is preg when you use the chemical other wise you have no idea how to breed more, if they are preg when they mutate then you will end up with a breeding pair)

I'm too lazy to keep a chart. Instead I use ladycfii's method of stick with one fish, breed an entire tank with that one fish, put an ! next to the pregnant fish's names so as to keep track of which ones would lead me in a circle, and then sell the pregnant fish once they give birth. Once I feel that I've gotten all that I can out of that one breeding fish, I'll replace it and start the process over, adding a @ to the fish's names and will continue like that until I have finished.

If you're wondering about my labeling system, I just follow the order on any QWERTY keyboard:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
You could just use numbers if you'd like, but for some reason I can remember the symbols easier. Go fig.
