I believe I saw a thread earlier regarding suggested enhancements to the game. I can't find it right now, so I'm starting a new thread.

I heartily agree with all the enhancements mentioned earlier, particularly having an icon that shows you how many fish are in the tank. I hate having to count those little buggers! Here are my suggestions:

1) Slightly change the physical appearance of a pregnant fish. (Make it a little bulgy, or add a small icon near it? Or maybe add a pregnancy "glow" to it?) I had 10 of all the same fish I was breeding, and I'm scurrying around trying to click all of them as they are swimming around quickly, frustrated as to which one is the 10th one I hadn't impregnated yet. If we can see the sick ones without clicking them, why can't we see the pregnant ones?

2) Button to reset suggested selling price of the fish in the isolation tank. I leave some fish priced at the suggested price, and others I raise in price. I once raised one too high, and then could not remember the suggested price.

3) Add new fish which can only be bred through trading. Similar to Pokemon that can only evolve when traded. I think the trading feature is neat in general. i.e. if you give someone a Golden Goldbulb, it becomes a Frosted Angelfish (I'm just making up a name here.)

4) A "pokedex" style feature that lets you see which fish you have/had. You can only view the ones you have had, so it doesn't spoil the surprise as to what you can get in the future.

5) A 4x speed and a 1/4x speed setting (or a variable speed setting if it isn't hard to program.)

6) A chart explaining the customers' thought bubbles.

7) Allow species identification of baby/teen fish. The babies all look pretty much the same, and if one is sick, it would be nice to know which species it is before deciding whether to trash it or keep it. Or sometimes one baby dies and I'd like to know which one it was. I don't always write them all down when their parents are pregnant.

8\) A pause feature so you can grab baby fish more easily. I have trouble grabbing the little ones, or sometimes I try grab a big one but I actually end up with a tiny one that was hiding behind it.

9) Allow different selling prices for same species. Each individual fish can have its own price.

10) Expansion packs (software) that have new ornaments, fish, etc. Take a cue from the Sims here and make a fortune;)

11) Allow manual game saving. Let's say you save a game and then accidentally sell or delete a fish. It would be nice to go back to the saved version.

12) An online version of the game, where people can see each other's tanks. Maybe if that's too difficult a task right now, just have a place where people can easily upload a file or picture with their favorite tanks, etc. I know we kinda do that now, but a feature built right into the game would be easier for the less computer-savvy.

13) A log file (maybe somehow connected with the "pokedex"?) that lets you see, with date/time stamps, the fish you have mated, and the resultant fish (did it die, what level tank did you have, etc.) It's just too time-consuming to write it all down or even to use the databases that some folks have created.

14) An easier way to spot dead fish. Sometimes I miss the small babies because they blend in with the scenery a little too much.

15) An audio signal when a fish gets sick, or dies. Especially an audio signal when they reach a new age or life phase (teen/adult). Since the game runs quite slowly, even on 2x speed, I might have the game minimized or something while I'm doing something else. And I feel like I have to check it every minute!

16) Last, and most definitely [color:"purple"]NOT LEAST... [/color] Allow the game speed Options to work independently for each user. My son played for hours on his user, and I ended up with a bunch of dead fish on one of my users. I know one solution would be to copy the folders as Barbara(?) mentioned before, but I'm sure this is not really what you developers intended, or want to happen. The computer-challenged folks can't easily do this either.

Whew, quite a volume here! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this game, and it really is well-done and nearly _bug_-free. These are just things that I think would make the game a little more user-friendly, and also prolong the interest in the game. Some users seem to get bored after awhile, and something like new goals, or expansion packs is a win/win situation. If this game is not already available on RealArcade, it should be. Big exposure there.

Thanks for listening

Wow, that's quite a list (and I'd like to see many of those things, too)!

One of the things on your list (Number 16) is already in the game. Game speed is set independently for each player's game. The problem that people sometimes see with game speed is caused by the way changing players works. If you go to the menu and change players, then change the game speed before you click Play, the game will update all of your tanks at the new speed setting when you click Play. You must click Play immediately after switching players if you want to preserve the game speed setting that you had previously set for that player. Once you've clicked Play and allowed the game to update your tanks, you can go back to the menu and safely change the game speed for that player.

Hmmmm, that would explain why one of my players had healthy fish, and another one had nearly all dead fish. I just thought I had forgotten to feed those enough.

So as long as I set my time to 1/2 speed, for example, it shouldn't matter whether I'm logged in, or my son is, or no one is. He can play his player at whatever speed he wants, right?

I guess I need to remember to check all 3 of my players' settings every time I go away for awhile. Glad I'm not playing 5!

Yes, every player can set whatever speed they want, independent of any other players that have games running. Everyone just needs to remember not to change the game speed (when changing players) until after they've checked on the fishies, and everything will be fine!

Since we are talking about enhancemants we would like to see I would find it helpful to know how many fish are in each tank. They are very hard to count while they are swimming around. 2) It would also be fun if you could buy more extra tanks.

What my sad little brain needs in the game is an "ARE YOU SURE?" pause for the delete button! One wrong move and POOF ........there go my fish! (Guess who's done that a number of times)

I've noticed my PPC version does have a verification when you delete. At least those fish are safe from my A.A.D.D (otherwise known in our family as the DUHHH syndrome)

I would also like to be able to give each fish a name. Some fish you don't want to sell for various reasons. I think that if you could name some fish you would have an easier time noticing mistakes. I.e "Do you really want to put Bob in the selling tank? Do you really want to erase Bob?" That and I like to name things....:)

Another thing! Please, Please, please change that squishing sound when you trash a fish! It sound like someone is *ahem* stepping on the fish. Even a flushing noise would be better! It would be just as morbid but, at least it would be mildly amusing

I do get a confirmation box when trashing a live fish. Or at least I think its already in there.

A fish count for the tank would be great. Its kinda hard to count while they're all moving around, and some always seem to be behind the rock formations.

Put my vote in - Fish Count!

Another request? Have the name of the active player show in the top bar of the window, or somewhere on the screen.

I could not resist branching out, and now have three players going. As I go, I have to keep switching back to the "change players" screen to see who I am.

Adds or for FT 2? - Harder fish to keep alive, another level or two of fish and food research.

I have been thinking about this...Okay here is my official "Please, I promise I'll be good" Christmas wish.


1) ability to buy more tanks
2) fish counter
3) more magic fish
4) The ability to choose either a male or female shop keeper. ( I'm sorry but that guy looks like my old boss whom I don't care for)
5) a more interactive fish store. This maybe my demise since the only time I get up is when the fishies are getting sold!
6) The ability to trade fish amongst the tanks on your computer
7) CHANGE THE MUSIC IN THE FISH STORE!


I also would like most of the things listed in the above posts

I think that when breeding MULTIPLE fish one should be able to put the "father" in the isolation chamber and just grab and rub countless "mothers" instead of changing fish all the time....make sense??

Hello all. What a great game this is and how great the community is!
So many awsome ideas already posted it's hard to think of more but.... hehe.

My thoughts on add ons is a connection between the windows program and your palm program. Maybe with Sync? Simmilar to the transporter that's already in the palm version.
Just a thought
Could call it FishSync? hehe.

Again, either more fish per tank or more tanks, too hard to keep up with all the combinations with so few at once. The ability to tell faster what a fish will be or a shorter "Childhood" get sick of waiting 20 "years" for a fish that I've already found and worth 6 bucks. Its mean not to let us have both medicines at the same time, I go a long time without any sick fish then bam, one of each pops up. Better help that tells things like what the thought bubbles mean or what things do before you use them, wasted the growth potion that you get at the begining when i didn't have any babies. Fish counter would be incredibly helpful for those baby rascals.

1) for the pc version I would like to see more broad support of higher end monitors, I am stuck running at 1680x1050x32 and the program barely fills up a fourth of my screen.
2) 3 tanks are definitely not enough, im running a fish store, i would like to have as many tanks as my store and my customers could stand.
3) how about also adding multiple isolation tanks. I know my betta's personally cannot stand to be in a tank with another fish.
4) salt water and freshwater fish, assorted other marine life, snails, frogs, rays, eels and live plants
5) order and sell aquariums and fish supplies to would-be customers as well (add-on sales are pure profit)
6) again more tanks, more fish in each tank. (more please!)
7) maybe start off as a small store, and branch out into a larger business space and perhaps even maybe a marine zoo.
8) anything i have missed, please add it as well, and more of it... must have more please! (bad case of FT Addiction)

I would also like to see a fish counter for each tank and more tanks or higher number of fishes in a given tank.

The idea for giving some sort of visual indicator for a pregnant fish is also rather good.

I would also like to see in Fish Tycoon 2, more plants and more species of fish. Also more Magic Fish. Let's see here, what else?

Oh, I read somewhere else that someone mentioned something about being able to customize the tank in terms of plants.

How about allowing the players to build their tanks from the ground up? I.E., when starting a new game, players go into a "tank building" mode, and start building their tanks. Choices could be... white sand, black sand, river gravel, for the substrate. Various plants for the decor. Maybe a few big rocks to make caves out of. Have a selection of either marine decor or freshwater decor for us to choose from... personally, I prefer freshwater. You get the idea?

Oh! Environment and food levels... regarding those issues, I would like some more complexity. Perhaps... after level three environment, level four could allow more fish per tank? and level five could allow, say, faster growth? Food... in real life, fish eat more than just flakes. In fact, I feed my own rainbowfish (now you see the reason for my username! ) and cherry barbs flakes, crisps, shrimp wafers, shrimp pellets, frozen brine shrimp, and frozen bloodworms. Not all at one time, of course. So maybe a variety of food options? Say... a can of flakes, a can of pellets, and a package of brine shrimp? And make it so that feeding only one thing would make the fish tend to get sick, but feeding all three in some sort of pattern (flakes one turn, pellets the next, brine shrimp the next turn, etc.) makes them healthier and produce healthier babies.

Maybe even do a couple of events. A blackout for one! How well your fish is fed and your tank is set up determines how many fish survive. For instance, a level three tank with level three food and a battery backup airpump (this would also have to be added to the supplies inventory), would survive with no fish deaths, but a level one with level one food and no battery backup results in, ah, half the tank stock dying?

I've been through real blackouts (read my location in my profile. Lesser Tornado Alley.) with my fishtanks, and believe me, my fish would be dead if not for my battery-operated airdriven aerators!

Another event would be maybe a heater failure. I've had that happen to me in real life too.

Hmm. I can't think of anything else. I love the game, and I would love to see it get upgraded.

I've seen that a lot of people want baby fish to be easier to see.

It would make things easier, yes, but also more unrealistic. Having bred and raised dwarf neon rainbowfish fry (baby fish) myself, I can tell you that dwarf neon rainbowfish babies are much harder to see at first than even the Tycoon babies! They're no bigger than a speck of dust in the water, and see-through! These things don't get big enough to actually feed normal baby foods until around two or three weeks old.

So, I just wanted to point out that hard-to-find, hard-to-see babies is actually something that is rather realistic. Good work, LDW.

And if you want to know what an adult male Melanotaenia praecox (dwarf neon rainbowfish) in full breeding splendor looks like, look at my avatar. That's Nova Bright showing off to one of my girl rainbows.

I'm not sure if this is the answer you are looking for but, I hope it helps anyway! Fish Tycoon comes in various degrees of difficulty (You can change that via the options menu for each player.) Aside from that- In each game that you are playing you can purchase two additional levels of food, environment and advertising research to improve upon the basic levels you start out with. You can also buy many other items to add to your tank for various reasons. All of which will alter your game on one "level" or another

I like all those ideas, yeah lets get some new fish, new ornaments, maybe MORE tanks that we can decorate ourselves, NOT ones already decorated. You know? And maybe make new magic fish with breeding existing magic fish but you don't get them every time, maybe trade with someone or something. Yeah all these ideas are great!! I also don't like counting my fish and can't keep track of the pregnant ones its a pain....PLEASE!!

Since we are talking about enhancemants we would like to see I would find it helpful to know how many fish are in each tank. They are very hard to count while they are swimming around. 2) It would also be fun if you could buy more extra tanks.




this is exactly what i was gonna add....this would be a great feature...

a fourth tank would be great too!!!! 3 is just not enough!

oops, another idea or 2

make tank one and the selling tank as beautiful as tank two!!!! the colors, coral, gravel and lighting in tank two are AMAZING!!



also, it would be nice to be able to move the plants you purchase to where you'd like them...all four plants in a row (pictured above) is boring, especially in tank 2..

it'd be nice to be able to move the aeration system too!!

or perhaps combine the aeration system into the scuba man!! our real tank at home has a scuba man with a hole in the bottom so you can attach the aeration tube and make the bubbles come up out of him! (after all, he is breathing underwater)!!

I dunno - I actually like tank one and the sale tank over tank two. I'm not much for coral. I prefer freshwater tanks.

Anyhow, not everyone likes the same thing. That's why I suggested earlier in this thread that the next version allow us to design our own tanks, including choice of substrate, plants, etc.

lets hope thats what happens, it would be great to design your own tank...the plants definitely need some upgrading, they are so scraggly looking!!

hi all just poking around the net , and stumbled across the site , i have written an email to LDW about the suggestions i had for the game , and or add ons, and most of them were listed here.. funny how people think alike.... they responded that they would be sending those suggestions up the the manager for consideration.. so there is a little hope for us fish people now hooked (pun intended)on a addictive game....

LDW has said that they have plans to do a sequel to Fish Tycoon, but have made no announcements about when that might be. LDW's home page shows Fish Tycoon for Mac, Village Sim for Windows and Mac, as well as Plant Tycoon for Windows and Mac in their "Coming Soon" section. You can click on the Coming Soon link to see the progress of Village Sim for Windows (which is their next project), but we'll all just have to wait for them to tell us more about any other games!

Dont know if this has been suggested or not but have like a price list of each fish. When you click on the poster in the store have a price list, of each fish. The min. and the max. amount the fish could sell for. I think it would be an excellent idea to improve the game.

Hi all - new addict here. I have a suggestion for FT2 that would make it more interesting (for me, at least):
Have it more like a real pet store with multiple tanks, and have the breeds have personality. For instance, when you click on a certain fish, it brings up traits like "shy, non-aggressive" or "Aggressive, only put with fish the same size", etc. That way you have to be smarter about what you put together!This would require having a lot of tanks though, like 10.

For me, the best thing to have on a sequel to the game would be to change the music in the selling tank. Oh yeah. That's all I need to make my life complete. I actually mute my pc when I'm selling fish because the music gets on my nerves that badly. Other than that, I think its perfect the way it is. Having an entirely new quest would be great, though!

Maybe rather then more fish, what if we had a frozen cryogenics lab? Here you are able to place cryogenically frozen fish for later use? Each fish Ice Cube would have a pic, or at the very least the fish name on it. That would take care of several issues, don’t ya think?

I agree with most:
1. Counter - could show # in tank/# adults/# pregnant etc in a status bar for each tank
2. Faster speed option
3. More tanks
to name a few but also:
1. Ability to remove plants once purchased. The Plant of Fertility is great to have at first when mass breading the more expensive fish to get money, but once you have enough built up and want to concentrate on breading - it causes an extra baby that just takes up space.
2. That also leads into being able to purchase them again. Once you discard a plant and need it again you should be able to by it again. (Seahorse also - mine got so sick and i couldn't cure it so I had to dispose of it, now I can't get another one.)
3. Some type of clock showing the lapse of time in respect to the fish 'year'.
4. The ability to stop time from the main screen - not just the options menu.
5. Ability to tag a fish as 'Do Not Sell' so it won't get sold if in the sell tank. (Of course more tanks would keep you from having to use the sell tank for other then it was intended.)
6. When buying more tanks - you could buy different sizes. 10 fish/20 fish/40 fish etc. (I do realize that more tanks & more fish per tank increases game overhead which may be the reason for the current limits.)
7. Why can customers only buy 1 fish. Why can't they buy 2 or 3?
8. When you go to sell fish, have the store open another window - so you can still get to your tanks without having to close the store. Maybe even have each tank as a seperate window. (Again - I realize the overhead issues may not allow this.)
9. A button when on the store screen to reduce prices of only current fish for sale buy a certain percentage, like 10%.
Just ideas I had while playing this wonderfully addictive game.

I've started grouping my sick fish in one tank and then start dosing. A lot of times, one dose will clean all the sick fish with that illness.

I meant to quote someone and respond, but I couldn't find it again.

I also wanted to add a request for sticky notes on my tanks. I can't always remember what I am trying to do in any particular tank. My notes get lost and I just end up doing something different and losing my original intention, like breeding a particular fish or seeing the results of a particular egg purchase.

I've been a bit of a lurker here on the message boards, but this game definitely has me hooked!!!

Enhancements I would like to see:

1) Ability to buy more tanks! I've found 301 species and am on the watch for the rest...is the final count 400??? Would be nice to have a 3rd and 4th tank for breeding purposes, especially since I have all 7 magic fish.

2) I'd also like to see a count on each tank...just in the bottom corner.

3) I generally keep my preggo fish in one tank, but it would be cute/neat to see them "grow" for each 'stage' of pregnancy lol Hey, we have to watch ourselves/sig. others...why not fish too? lol

4) It would also be nice if you were told (without going to the Trophy Case) how many breeds of fish you have found...and how many are left.

Just a couple of cents from a hooked newbie.

There are 441 different species. 21 different bodies and 21 differnt fin types. 21 x 21 is 441.

I am putting in my vote for the "pokedex" feature! I thought I kept an accurate count of all the fish I have bred, however when I thought I had found them all...I had actually only found 439! Ooops, I must have put some check marks in the wrong boxes. Now I get to go thru again.

I would love some faster speed options also. I play tribal trouble sometimes and one of its speeds is called something like :"ludacrous" in which time flys. It has to be one of the easier programming additions.
At one point can we hope for some of these "suggestions" to be initiated?

Lurker here!

I was only thinking yesterday that I would really LOVE to be able to grab the "For sale" sign and 'plonk' it in another tank, instead of trying to move fishies I want to sell around ....

other wise there isnt too much I'd like to change, a counter would be great however.

Edit: I have also thought in the past that it would be better if the dead fish floated to the top of the tank, so that I didnt have to search around for them. I know someone else has mentioned it would be good if they were not so hard to see

Here's my wish list....all of which have already been mentioned.

1. Name of current player at top of fish tank
2. More fish tanks
3. More fish per tank
4. Ability to have both meds at the same time
5. Fish counter/per tank
6. MORE FISH TANKS
7. A more stable "stop time" for each game
8. MoRe FisH TanKs lol

I have tried every which way to stop both games when I log out, but the second game always continues. When I go on vacation, I come home to dead fish. It's very sad!!!

I would like those swapping stuff but I bet no one would swap any canary firearrow unless they have alot of them and want to swap for a last magic fish.
ps my last magic fish is the speckled leaffish.

or maybe sell fish to real people instead of buying eggs. (because buying eggs you might not know exactly what type of fish you would get. for the speckled leaffish i kept buying common eggs but i never see the twinfin spotanus then i finnally combine stickfish instead.

The Unknown Chemical is a chemical that you have to use it to find out what it does. It is the red one in the fat bottle. If you want to know,
[spoiler] it changes either fin type or body in a small portion of some fish [/spoiler]

I'd love a way to keep track of the fish I've found, so when I get to the end and find I've only got 440 instead of 441, I can easily find the one I need to breed.

The tanks to hold 25 fish instead of 21.

An "instant" birth potion where you can get all the fish you'd like in a tank pregnant, then add it and have babies.

b) buying fish from other players
c) fish counter
d) more unknown chemicals
e) more eggs
f) more magic fish
g) more species

I'd like that too! I am just sick of buying eggs and not seeing the fish I've expected. One of my friends playing in my computer has a flagged beta which I need to make my last magic fish so I will jolly well exchange a canary firearrow with it. my friend will definitely agree bcause she's only found a greenfin spotanus. And figuring out what the unknown chemical does is really exciting!

This game rocks! These are a few ipts that might make it even better?

1. A way to manage your fish quicker per tank. Like maybe an extra nice looking and user friendly menu showing the total number of fish, categories by types, age, hunger, PREGNANCY etc... per tank so you can sort out quicker

2. a few predatory fish that would trigger or not depending on difficulty level (that way people would have a choice)

3. a made up symbol for the currency of the Island! it would add to the immersive dimmension and so wuld different background music to choose from. I really like the little tune that comes up, I wish it was there more often

I would love to be able to buy additional tanks and actually GET all 441 fish swimming around at once! Having 20/21 limit per tank and only three tanks means you have to start selling off fish you might need to breed in a later generation. Maybe only three tanks until you get all seven magic fish, then you can buy more?

I would also like a fish tracker, but I printed out my own and just use a pencil to mark them as I get them. I know I've missed some, but it's sortof fun to see how many different fish I can get.

I thinka fish counter would be the best thing that would happen to this game. One problem...
When i bought the game I thought,"wow, I'm never gona have to buy this..ever!" I guess i was wrong. If youre gona add future enhancement then you will have the re-buy the game so you have the enhancemnts! I think that is absurd! So, maybe one of the computer technitions donw where they make the game could find a way to somehow get into your computer and chnage the game! (but keep the original settings) Then you wouldnt have to but it again for the new enhancments

When LDW releases updates to games (for example going from v1.0 to v1.1 of a game), your registration code works with the updated version. Generally, you only need to download the demo of the new version from the site where you purchased the game and (if asked) re-enter your registration code.

When LDW releases updates to games (for example going from v1.0 to v1.1 of a game), your registration code works with the updated version. Generally, you only need to download the demo of the new version from the site where you purchased the game and (if asked) re-enter your registration code.




Can you update the game when you buy the CD?

You could do it the way that I described, by downloading the new version. If you wanted a new product CD, however, you would have to purchase it. The games are primarily distributed via download, and CDs are offered at additional charge to accommodate customers who desire them.

what exactly would be the commercial benefit of owning a CD then? (from a customer's point of view of course )

Some people like the security of a CD, and (for various reasons) don't wish to make it themselves. I don't think it has anything to do with commercial benefit.

I am in desperate need for more tanks...a 4th tank would be awesome

and i like to decorate things )
why not let us buy a empty tank( no fish, no background, no rocks etc) and that we can decorate it the way we want?
let us buy pieces of coral etc to create our own blackgrounds?

Here is my two cents on the enhancements



  • Slightly change the physical appearance of a
    pregnant fish, or even a little tiny p on its
    tail fin</SPAN></FONT>
  • A chart explaining the customers' thought bubbles.

  • Allow different selling prices for same species.
    Each individual fish can have its own price. ** I'd like this especially when
    selling pregnant fish**
  • I would find it helpful to know how many fish are
    in each tank.
  • Have the name of the active player show in the top
    bar of the window, or somewhere on the screen.
  • one should be able to put the "father" in the
    isolation chamber and just grab and rub countless "mothers" instead of
    changing fish all the time --- make it more of a breeding chamber... and how
    about the ability to BUY an isolation tank for the sick or rare
    fih
  • About the difficulty in finding the dead fish ---
    make them float
  • a MSRP type list/guide of each fish price
    somewhere
  • I'd like a net so i can catch multiple fish and
    transfer them to a tank, if my count is over the fish stay in the net (a
    counter would help though so you wouldnt need to code if than else into
    it)
  • Multiple purchase of tank ornaments and being able
    to sell them once purchased as inventory
  • Not just additional tanks make it an actual
    research envoironment where you can only breed new fish, it'd be nice if the
    research environment kept track of the breeding pairs too
  • keep track of the fish I've found
  • how about a supply you can buy thats better than
    the mystery chemical that automatically impregnates all the females in the
    tank with some NEW body/fin type (other than current)
  • ability to toggle remedies i mean i sometimes only
    use one or two of the doses... and then i have to repurchase a whole thing..
    only have to buy new when all the doses are used
  • an automatic feeder to purchase for nighttime care
    etc.
  • Umm a bigger snail? or how about a pleko to buy
    instead.. but you'd have to feed it... addition of the pleko would make the
    snail or just be replaced by the pleko
  • a time trial type upgrade where you have to breed
    certain fish based on a customers order
  • a breeders chart that you can purchase for
    different levels showing the lineage of how to obtain the normal fish... your
    on your own with the magic ones
  • I think you should build some fatal crosses...
    like the genetics of how a manx and a manx cannot beget a manx in the cat
    world.. if i remember my genetics correctly.. etc etc..
  • I think it'd be nice to have a male betta... there
    were suggestions about a territorial type fish eater... why not make the
    bettas have both male and females... males sell for more but you can only have
    one in a tank at a time (you'd also want more than 3 tanks.. you'd be trashing
    alot of male bettas)
  • upgrade pack enhancements would be good to look
    into for the future
  • need to remove sick fish to an isolation tank...
    otherwise more fish will get sick... ick does not attack one fish at a time,
    nor does fungi
  • upgrade pack enhancements would be good to look
    into for the future
  • need to remove sick fish to an isolation tank...
    otherwise more fish will get sick... ick does not attack one fish at a time,
    nor does fungi
  • add in a return policy for another level of
    difficulty... i tend to sell my oldest fish and i get away with it.. even the
    ancient ones
  • i'd like a way to see in the task bar how many
    fish are left in the selling tank since you can sell even if minimized it'd be
    a great enhancement and a little ding when your out'd be good (dont remember
    if the ding is there i got sick of the music and play on mute with my iTunes
    goin
  • ability to "hire"/purchase an assistant so you can
    handle multiple sales transactions at once....
  • the selling tank should have a higher capacity
    than the breeding tanks
  • ability to toggle/exit directly from the store to
    the research/breeding tanks on the shelves
  • ability to toggle between players and immediately
    start game play instead of always having to choose to start or immediately
    start from the toggle position but leave the menu/options toggle as it
    is
  • i like the fry hard to catch, but there needs to
    be a net to collect and transfer
  • for a pregnant fish
    i'd like to be able to put it in what is now the isolation thingie and be able
    to find out who she was bred with
  • make the isolation
    thingie an info tank... then make an isolation tank

I definately agree with all the posts that say fish counter. I also think we should be able to see pregnant fish easier, and to be able to just put the father into the chamber, and just breed lots of fish from him.

I think add-ons sound like a great idea, and it's good to know that if LDW do bring out a newer version, it won't cost you again.

I also think it would be a better idea to start out with more money, maybe $500? My little sister started a game, and just refused to bin fish. So everytime one got ill, she would save it, and ended up with all her money gone. Poor girl.
Thanks, Becky.

Here's My Wish List

Well I love your creation! Very cool and fun ... but here are some enhancements I would like you to consider.

1. Ability to Buy Up to 21 Tanks (One for each species or type)

Half the fun is seeing a whole group of these creations, or to see all your favorites. Plus it would make it less frustrating when you end up having to sell one you end up needing later.

2. Fish Counter!
Trying to count fish ...particularly babies is insane.

3. Ability to trash ornaments

4. Ability to rearrange Magic Plants

5. Ability to see which fish you still need, and ability to download/export results.

You only provide total count of fish found.

Problem is ... even though I laboriously kept track of each fish I bred and their price ... I ended up with 2 missing. UGH! Going back and forth to do the accounting ... became more like a laborious accounting job, rather than a fun game.

6. Ability to trade between games. (ie player one and player two).

7. Give the Sea Horse more pazzazz. Like what does it do anyways ... except get in the way of grabbing fish. Thankfully you can trash it.

Maybe allow it to have a breeding function or something.

8. Show price when grabing a fish. You show Age & Preganacy Status ... but not current price.

Changing price can stay in isolation tank, but would be nice to see the current price when you grab the fish.

Can't tell you how many time I a fish I wanted to keep (which was in selling tank)... got sold because I forgot to raise the price so it wouldn't sell. rats!

9. Visual on Pregnant fish, so you don't have to keep grabbing them to see if they are still pregnant.

Well those are the biggies for me.

Don't know if anyone has suggested this yet or not, but there really isn't much going on with the actual store itself... So how about you can purchase new store locations, start a franchise, or at the very least move to a different area in the mall which could have more room for more tanks, better customer traffic, that sort of thing. After you get a few of the magic fish, the game becomes extrememly boring as you have a retarted amount of money to throw around, so why not atleast soak up some of that extra cash with a new store venue?

Here is what i have been thinking about as adds:

1) set the begining up like rollercoaster tycoon where you can pic what location you want, then you set up the store depending on space available (number of tanks, Etc...)

2) Deffinitly fish counter, its a must...just too hard to count 'em all.

3)More fish types

4) I was thinking what about orders you have customers come in that place orders and you have to try to breed the fish before the time limit is up.. ( idk i think it would be fun )

Alright, I've got a couple of comments on other peoples' ideas(I have to hope that the more people we get putting their two cents in, the more likely an upgrade will be):

* Be able to speed up time drastically. This is definitely a game I could sit down and play for an evening, instead of playing 50 times a day, for 5 minutes each time.

* I haven't really found yet that more tanks OR more room per tank are terribly necessary, though it WOULD make certain things easier. I think if I had the speed up time option (which would include the fish getting hungry faster, and losing health faster if they got sick) I would have no need or desire for any extra capacity, as I wouldn't have to wait very long to "breed the fish I need to breed the fish I want", etc.

* All of the little things, such as customizing tanks, or fish, would be interesting, but I don't find them a necessity. Look at the graphics of the store scene. The game is NOT great because of it's imagery, but because of it's amazing versatility, and it's options, and it's re-play value.

* The above point being made, I whole-heartedly agree with any and everyone who thinks there should be expansion pack options. More varieties of fish to discover, more items for purchase, that do different things, or do the same things better, more reaserching needed, etc.

* While I'm not wholely against a Fish Tracker being built into the game itself, there IS a great one available for free download that makes me say this option is not necessary either. However, there WOULD be some specific advantages to an in-game species tracker, i.e. don't have to change windows every time I want to log a fish, or figure out how to breed a fish.

* I like the idea of being able to buy and sell fish, but not the idea of being able to just TRADE fish. I think the reason the game is fun is working for everything. I've only discovered some 50-odd species, and I have tried VERY hard to not learn of any breeds I don't already have, as it's really exciting when I come back to the game and there's a new fin/body type swimming around in there. Maybe you have to have had the fish before in order to be able to buy it. This way, I wouldn't have to breed 4 fish just to get the right parents to breed the specific fish I want.

* Instead of an actual store to sell fish, maybe just a radio icon signifying that you are ready to sell any fish that happen to be in your selling tank. While it's clicked, you wouldn't be able to move any NEW fish into the tank, which would avoid accidental selling, and there would be a confirmation box when you did click it. These two things should get rid of 90% of accidental selling, plus, you could work on breeding, and other things while your fish are selling (or maybe have it be an option in the options menu...some people LIKE the store scene.)

* I'm all for the "scenario" concept, or the idea of more magic fish. Something to give it a prolonged plot. Once you've bred the 7 magical ones, and discovered all the species, I don't see much fun in playing the game MANY times...maybe a couple more times through, just to improve or something. However, if you kept the breeding pattern, but made the rarity of any give breed a random value, and made the magical breeds random as well, each time you played the game it would be a new experience to try to discover them. That's just one tiny idea. Heck, maybe have the lineage lines be random for each new game as well. All sorts of things could up the re-play value of this game.

* While I'm a fan of the idea to create more space in the medicine rack, I've never really found this to be a HUGE problem for me. I have fish get sick just like anyone else, but I've always accepted that I must buy a new medicine to cure a new disease. That could just be me though.

* Maybe make things a little less expensive, but you have to buy them more often i.e. the diver only costs $100 but he gets dirty and you have to replace him, or something to this effect.

This is all I can think of now, but I know I've had many other ideas. All in all this is an amazing game, the likes of which I've never played before, and I only have two fears:

1. I'll finish the game, and won't want to play anymore, the fun will be gone, and
2. At some point I'll grow tired of waiting for things to happen, and just kind of stop playing. This would be very sad.

Hopefully someone is listening, and even more hopefully, we (the players and the coders) can use these forums constructively to help Fish Tycoon reach many more people around the world.

Thanks LDW!

Andy

something else i think would be good a part where you choose the fish in the starting batch you have the greenfin spontanace auto clicked but you can only pick from fruitfish,fatfish,spontanus,stickfish and most starting plus you can pick how many magic fish you need to find before you complete the game mabe 10 to 20 magic so you can find more speices of fish plus finding new magic fish.

i've been thinkin for the 3rd time and here my wish list
1. Being able to just release a fish into the wild.
2.a mystery fish like the one i had (Golden Love Beta)
3. superstars come in your store and buy a fish you put a prices of in the 1000's.
4.get to name your fish (e.g. Golden fatfish= Jakson).
5.more stores that you own each in a place with not even 1 fish the same in a nother shop no normal fishes.
6.growth hormone costs a little less.
7. Some Mermaids In a big tank.
8. when you find 4 magic fish being able to open a aquariam (e.g. London aquariam)
9. already said able to customize the hight and look of your tank.
10. A net to catch fish.
and last but not least
11. Being able to see your fish in guest mode whilst in the store.

PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

I would like to have more tanks for the fish. Because I'm out of room for my fish. Each tank holding more fish would be good too, but kind of cluttered. And a way to keep track of every species you created built into the game. Something else I think would be cool is if there was a way to order a specific fish from like a magazine or something (are any of you familiar with the game Animal Crossing and the catalogue that the store keeper has of anything that you ever bought, sold, or whatever?)so then that way if you've already sold a fish but realize you need it to make another fish you can order it instead of having to start the entire proccess from teh begining.

What if there was some kind of magic fish egg plugin/expansion pack that adds a new item to the shop called magic fish eggs that hatch only magic fish, but at the same time making it very expensive so as not to make it seem like a cheat

My wish list:

1 tank where fish never age/sicken or die .. to be used as the screensaver tank. The perfect way to save onto a fish that is either really cute or needed for breeding later.

Being able to buy more decorations/backgrounds/substrates to customize all the tanks..

Add events such as in VV ..

and all the other great suggestions already made ;-)

In the store it would be nice if the shoppers looked more like the villagers from vv. Maybe with modern clothing and shoes, but the same faces, hair, and body types. Also in the store it would be handy to have an indication of what fish are remaining to be sold, possibly to the right of the "Sold" window

Well, I don't agree with in-game 'Fish Tracker' or drastical time speed-up. Finding the right way SLOWLY was tremendous fun itself in my case. Even waiting was fun. You can always do something else while waiting. I don't know about other people, but I don't play this to be a millionaire in Isola. I don't need some quick money, I don't need another shop. And if you want your fish to grow up quickly, there is always an option. Use Growth Hormone.

We don't play this game because of beautiful graphics or fast-paced gameplay, do we? Lots of suggested addition in the game might reduce the replay value and overall fun in FT.

One inhancement I don't think anyone's mentioned yet that I would like to see is a click spot in the shop where you could see how many decorations you've purchased. There already is a spot to see how many plants you've purchased so I doubt that would be a hard thing to add.
It would be great if once you bought something it showed up on a shelf in the store, so you knew exactly what you've purchased, but that might be a lot of work.
P.S.
I just REALLY want to see an add-on pack or a version 2 of Fish Tycoon SOON, no matter what it has!

Hi, I recently upgraded from the Palm OS version of the game to the Windows version of Fish Tycoon, and the difference is amazing. The fish are so clear, you can actually see the dead fish, and the colours are great.

In particular, I like the fact that there are so many more ornaments to buy, and you can move them around the tanks, and even between the tanks.

I also think that it would extra great if the next version of Fish Tycoon had more decorating flexibility - more ornaments, more things that can be moved around the tank - maybe even different backgrounds? Then I could feel like I was really customizing the game to myself and loving it even more.

I really love the extra animals - the seahorse and snail - is there a way to get in some starfish or merman ornaments for the next version of the game? Maybe even a mini octopus?

I also would like to see some changes in the shelf section of my fish tank. For example, there's only room for 1 medication, either ick or fungal treatment. If I have some leftover ick treatment and need to buy fungal treatment, the ick treatment gets deleted, and that's just a waste of money. Similarly, there's only room for one set of eggs at a time, so if I have a set of eggs on the shelf, and I buy another set, the second set deletes the first set. The 4 spaces on the shelf are misleading, it makes me think that I can buy 4 different things and have them on the shelf, but the reality is that there is room for 1 kind of feed, 1 kind of medication, 1 kind of eggs, and 1 kind of growth/hormone supplement. So I wish the next versin of Fish Tycoon didn't limit the shelf space that way.

Spoiler conained in this post.Read with warning.

Actually put a descripton on the unknown chemical.You know,like something happend and they found out what it does.
Mostly because no one wants to pay the price of a arrow goldbulb for a useless fish.You know,like a twin fin beta that sells for 5 bucks.

Another thing I would like to see is a predectioon for borth from a pregnate fish.Cause,I hate it when I turn my back and a baby has died from hunger.

i haven't read all the suggestions so bear with me if this has been suggested before : "research for different unknown chemicals. There could be 10 different ones or so. then what i think PTforWindows suggested : a description of what that chemical does after the player has succeeded in using it. AND what it does if it fails and there could be different types of failures for one chemical. A money bonus (varying in price depending on the chemical's level) after each success would be nice too!

Yeah, the store music is so bad that I turn the music option to "Off". And the player name notation would help.

That's the biggest one for me - I hate that I have to chose which fish I have to sell - with over 441 species it would be fun to see how many species you can breed...hehehe

Or sometimes you just want to put you're magic fish in one isolated tank.

I know there are different levels of research, food, and advertising. But after you have completed these levels there isn't that much of a challenge - I also realize that the actual challenge is finding the 7 majic fish - but I'd love for it to have more levels. You earn so much money but the point of level three that all you get to do is cure sick fish from time to time. If there was more levels you would have to spend the hard earned money...
Just a thought.

I'm not sure more levels would really alleviate the problem

With more levels built in, the actual effects of getting to he next level would be less, and I think that would frustrate more players than anything else

My vote for additional interest is to be able to decorate the tanks as we like, change the gravel color, etc.
Maybe instead of being forced to put the decor in the tank we could have a "treasure chest" where we store the decor we buy, until we want to use it. It would also be nice if we could buy more than one of the items, so we can use then in more than one tank. I would have loved to have several peices of coral to build a reef in one of my tanks.

There could be backgrounds to purchase, different colored gravel, new decorations (i want a mermaid!)

it would help with some of the boredom that can occur when you get stuck in a breeding rut

the decor could affect how healthy fish are, some fish doing better with specific backgrounds, etc


The main thing I want to see is additional tanks- my idea is thus- allow us to purchase additioanl "personal" tanks for an exorbiant price. Once a fish is in the personal tanks, it cannot be moved back to the breeding/sale tanks, nor can breeding occur in the "personal" tanks - it should however, be able to be moved between personal tanks

that would allow us to collect our favorite fish, without making actual gameplay any easier

You seem to be quite a pokemon/sim fan (I also happen to love those games.The trade feature sounds good, but how would that work???? It sound like it would be a feature that wouldn't work on Mac/PCs becuase you could trade with other people as if they were DSes on those.

I also like the trading idea. You could trade just between users or online. Any word on a sequel? Eh? I have a quick question a bit off topic: in the store there is a poster in the corner that says Your Fish or something similar to this. What is the all violet purple fish on the poster? I can't seem to be able to breed it and it sure is pretty...

You can't breed every fish on that poster. Some of them are from the PC/Mac version, some from the PDA version, and some don't exist in either version. \:\)

Here's my wishlist. I think almost everything has been already mentioned, though.
  • Player's name showing on the main screen
  • Ditto for number of fish - perhaps split into babies and adult fish. The adults could also show whether they were pregnant or non-pregnant
  • More tanks - probably achievable only in the late stages of the game
  • Ability to decorate the tanks
  • A warning if you put the only specimen of a magic fish up for sale - I've lost a couple by mistaking them for a near relation
  • Make the customers more like those in VV/PT. They look very wooden and have a limited range of actions in comparison. There are also only a few different types.

How about an option to target all fish in a tank and move them to another, because it gets annoying having to catch one fish at a time to move to different tank.

You know Cinimod, I think that is a great ideal as well. Why not just make a Salt Water FT? I don't know who purchased the license to do the DS FT, but lets hope LDW reserved the right to make a PC version of that game. \:D

Hello I am not only hooked on fish tycoon, but I can now proudly say my grandson is also hooked. He is only 4 years old and does not understand why we cannot keep all of the fish. He is learing numbers, fish breeds,the concept of earning money to buy things and he is learning patience! together we would like to submit some of our ideas ( as we were overwhelmed with imagination here )for a expanded improved ultimate fish tycoon game. here we go:

1. afish counter for each tank
2. more magic fish
3.expand the breeds with tail changes like the fin changes are now
4. ability to purchase more tanks (at least half as many of the count of breeds), but for a 4 year old who wants to keep every fish well there would have to be a tank for every breed and a tank to hold every type in that breed.
5. ability to expand the store as well as improving on signs (neon would be nice)
6. a special larger tank for breeding which shortens the time for babies to appear
7. a chart of fish (and their price) you have found, bred, sold and such (not to give away the ones you have not gotten yet)
8. abillity to choose storekeeper
9. ability to hire an assistant for the store
10. some new breeds could be a puffer, a dog, a sun, or moon, a quilter, a bubble, etc., just your imagination holds you back.
11. along with the same breeds expanding and interchanging the tails such as already developed and used in the game…such as --the split tail like on the fruitfish, shark and carp-- the feathery tail of the goupers, the leaftail of the betas, the spattail of the snoopers, etc. And how about a rainbow tail?
12. if the game could continue from the previous version that would be great.
Maybe one of the villagers could find a deep cave with a secret waterway that connects Isola with the other cities and other rivers with many secrets and fish types.
13. last but not least....the seahorse could also take on breeds and characteristics.
thanks for listening to us.

i almost forgot... a cabinet to hold the vitamins, treatments and chemicals in would really be nice and then if you had some left you would not have to replace it and loose what was left in the container...since there would be more than one slot to keep them in.
thanks again,

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but it'd be great if we could buy the same decoration item more than once. For example, buying more shells to decorate the tank would be awesome; we could design our tanks with more items.
That's my only suggestion for now, I think I'll add more later. \:\)

I just love FT, but would like to see more magic fish, more tanks to breed them in and perhaps larger tanks that hold more fish. "If" there is a FT2.
Every day I look forward to that evening when my hubby and I retire to the drawing room, we each sit at our own computers and I spend hours playing either FT or PT. I'm totally addicted!
Now I'm dreaming of a Bird Tycoon or Aviary Tycoon with colorful birds to breed and sell. Just what I need, another game addiction!

I'd like something I could do while waiting for the fish to grow up - like the bugs you can catch in PT. The extra cash makes a real difference and stops me getting bored when I have nothing else to do.

I am related to this in many ways, I don't know if this has been posted yet but I would like to be able to buy 3 seahorses, 1 for each of my tanks. btw, I am on the iphone version.

in next enhancement of fish tycoon, i would like new type and version of it. i want the fish to be more "reptilians" version more than the live-bearers (gave birth to the young). it is similar to Plant Tycoon, we pollinate the seeds and we harvest the seeds, not a young plant. if we make our fish pregnant, the fish will produce eggs. the eggs are in group and falling down bottom of the tank. if we didn't pick it quickly, it will be ate by other fish. its the reason why i want like this because i am clumsy smile and always accidently cross-pollinate a fish. the hybrid was unusual and died in the tank! suchaloss! if this next ft is in my way, at least we can keep the eggs first before we plan to HATCH IT. a rare hybrid is yellow (egg colour), unusual is purple and common is orange, as usual.

I suggest a lab where you can add traits to your fish such as making them more resistant from hunger and sickness. Also things like next generation mutations to change the fishies babies! One last thing a fish freezer to save your fishies for later or to save their lives! And lastly a chance to bring fish back to life like if they were really old like 5000

I would like the developers to develop a new game that has at least 10 tanks, plus a selling tank. No ick or fungus for the fish. I just want to breed the fish and see what I get and have a place to put them. For example, see who many types of Banana Fish I can get, or how many pink finned fish, etc. It would still be nice to have tank decorations, better food upgrades, but no illness or dead fish. Perhaps have star fish, sea horses, sand dollars, sea urchins from eggs to develop. That type of game would please me, any one else?

The one thing I don't like about this is that you dont get the better food or tanks right after you buy them. In Plant Tycoon you get the better soil right when you buy it. In Fish Tycoon you have to wait hours even days if you have it on slow to get the upgrade. I would like in the next Fish Tycoon (if there will even be one) you get the upgrades right when you buy them.

A fish counter would be a fairly easy addition. But, remember you guys... Last Day of Work is DONE WORKING! They are not going to do ANYTHING to this game! This game is already nearly 10 years old and, the amount of sales is only due to new platforms coming out and, people putting the game on them. (smart phone, I pad etc) As for adding more tanks. Part of the games difficulty is deciding which fish to keep and, which you can discard. It's called strategy. Sure with 5 or 6 tanks you could keep two of everything. But, that would drastically change the dynamics of the game. YOU COULD develop your own fish breeding game with all the things you want. There ya go! What a great ideer! BUT, it would never be as good as FISH TYCOON! Oh, by the way,... I just bred all of the special fish in 1 DAY!
