Oh yeah! I've been tracking mine on Excel but it's not helping much. Go for it!

BTW, My husband and I met over a Pink Floyd concert.

Is it Mac compatible? I've used it a bunch and tried to put it on my mac, it told me it cant be opened BUT its possible I just need to figure out a program to open it with. But first I should just ask if it is even usable with a mac.

Most of the utilities that have been contributed by fans are for Windows only, including Fish Tracker. The only utility that I'm aware of that's available in a Mac version is the Tribe Selector for Virtual Villagers.

I'd absolutely love it. Have been trying to keep track through screensnaps of the fish's heritage, but that's also too cumbersome.

Hi Celebane, i was wondering if u can create a program like "virtual seed tray" ...

It will help a lot in the game...

I'm sure you've all worked this out already, but you need just 2 tables (excel, word or handwritten) to track your fish:

1. One for the fish fins i.e hornet, pink, speckled etc. There are 21 different types of fish fins.
2. One for the fish bodies. i.e. goldbulb, spotanus, arrowfish. There are 21 different types of fish bodies.

The fish bodies and fish fins are 100% interchangeable.

There are lots of different matches that result in the same fish. For example, to obtain the Speckled Leaffish (one of the magic fishes) you can breed the following 2 fishes to produce the same results:

1. Greenfin Spotanus x Spined Fruitfish
2. Greenfin Fruitfish x Spined Spotanus
3. Finless Goldbulb x Golden Bananafish
4. Golden Goldbulb x Finless Bananafish
5. Flagged Goldbulb x Golden Bananafish

There are many, many more combinations for the Speckled Leaffish. Although a lot of them may be 'out of reach' at the start of the game because fish environment needs to be researched.

Some fish cannot be soley bred from other fish species. These are the fish bodies Shark and Spotanus and fish fins Silky and Twin-Fin. So you will need to purchase eggs (you only need to buy the common eggs) to obtain these. Obviously, once you have these fish you can breed them with others from the same species or sometimes with a different species of fish. i.e shark x catfish = shark, silky x tiger = silky. Spotanus and Twin-Fin cannot be cross bred with any other species.

If you lose your Greenfin Spotanus (first magic fish), you will get another, eventually, from a batch of common eggs but it may take many purchases of these eggs before you get one.

I hope this helps. :-)
