I played the game with the seahorse and without the seahorse. using the same method of getting the 7 magical fish. and what I discovered was that the seahorse causes..... more sick fish. so far this is the only thing I have found. so DON'T BUY THE SEAHORSE it causes sickness upon your fish. I only had two fish who had diease with the game I played without the seahorse and using the time cheat.. I should have had more sick fish. but I didn't. I have already played and won the game the normal way before using the time cheat method. In the game with the seahorse I had sick fish everytime I used it. I don't know if this will help or if they will pull this thread but we shall see. any comments are well. but try it without the seahorse and tell me if you too notice the difference. Meli
