Are you selling your fish? That's the only way to make money in Fish Tycoon

There are probably as many different strategies as there are people playing the game, but the most important thing is to make sure that you always have at least several common fish in your tanks (or a batch of common eggs) until you have better Fish Environment, and to care for them so that they stay healthy. Otherwise, you could find yourself with nothing but a bunch of fragile hybrids that won't survive and no money to buy anything with. Look for breeds that do well in the starting tank environment and sell for a reasonable price (at least $20) and keep breeding those fish to make money.

Here is one step by step guide to get started successfully in Fish Tycoon:

Drop the starter eggs into Tank 1. Go to the supplies area and buy some common eggs for $160. Drop them into Tank 1 and wait for them to hatch. If you want them to grow up quickly, you can set the game speed to fast, but you'll have to check your fish often to make sure that they are fed. They will grow up in less than 2 hours.

Once they are adults, try to find two fish EXACTLY the same. You can breed them successfully. Their babies will not lose health and die. If you can't find two fish exactly alike, choose two fish that are very similar (the same type of fish - for example Spotanus or Beta). If you breed these, even though their fins might be different, they will probably live to be adults. If you don't get any fish similar enough to breed successfully, you can always start a new game and try again. It's important not to cross breed species early in the game, because they will die and you won't have any money to buy more eggs.

If any of your fish get sick early in the game, you should probably not spend money on medicine until you have extra money. Once your new fish are grown up, you should move them to the selling tank (Tank $), and click the Sell Fish button. You will see the store screen. When a customer buys one of your fish the species, picture and price of that fish will be displayed in the information area below the store.

Keep breeding fish as described above until you have enough money to buy a second tank. Tank 2 will give you more room to breed fish and you will make money faster. Drag some of your fish to Tank 2 and keep breeding the same fish to make enough money to research tank improvements.

Remember to keep making money by breeding fish and selling them. Once you have made enough money to research Fish Environment, you will be able to breed more expensive species of fish.

Try to stick to breeding ones that can live in your tank. There should be some magic fish that can live in level 2. If you can find them try to breed those to make more money. Otherwise breed the most expensive fish that lives in your tank.Then research level 3 as fast as possible. Hope this helps. Good luck. wink
