i have played fish tycoon numerous times......3 times where i found all 7 magic fish. i mostly turn my time onto 1/2 time and leave the game from about 1AM till 6PM the next day. my fish are hungry everytime when i go back and rarely have ick or fungi....

i also turn my time off and and never had any hungry or sick fish when i returned. we have player's games going on the same computer at the same time.

naturally, before all the research is finished you would expect to have more sick fish. but persistance pervails!
