Two questions about TapFish

[Mindbenda84]

New Tank: Dog Fight (Aerial view)

US Air force v. Pirates.

Using eagle rays as jets, and blue and yellow schools as clouds and the tank itself as the water it gives the illusion of planes in combat. Layered timing, purposely dropping schools after regular (pirate) rays gives the ability to either duck into cloud cover stealthily, be shot down or make two look like one. Upkeep is that I have to keep making piranha rays to keep one baby and one adult to show further depth. Enjoy.

I assume I'm not the only one who can buy Half Black Angel Fish, but can't breed with them yet?

 

[Mindbenda84]

Yeah, they can't breed yet. Had mine since this morning.

I'm trying to earn fishbucks by taking the Parallel Kingdom tutorial but don't know what they consider the tutorial. They have videos and a guide and I sort of went through both but didn't get the bucks. Anyone been able to do this?

 

[kayakalp]

Nice post.

Hi folks.

 

[anna_p]

I wonder if Canada has a new citizen yet?

At 2:47 on Tuesday Canada was up one new person
Everything went well and baby is doing great, its a girl! we didnt find out before so it was a nice surprise. We're both completely in love with her, its an amazing feeling

I'm having some problems with tapfish, it wont let me on
it may be my phone though since its been acting up. This sucks

 

[raynoldsk]

Congratulations Anna! Enjoy your precious bundle

Did you reboot your phone?

I can't remember if an update came out this week ( I get confused switching between games) but it has happened to me when there was an update. Clear the cache and restart the game--that usually does it for me.

 

[droidros]

Congratulations, Anna - I'm so glad everything went well!

Maybe your fish are acting up because they got jealous since they're no longer the center of attention !

Yes, there was an update recently.

 

[Akwatic]

Congrats Anna!

I have all the Half Black Angel Fish breeds in my tanks 70 and 71 (or maybe 71 and 72, cant remember)

Some look nice, but most take at least 3 or 4 days to grow into adults, so we'll see how they turn out

 

[Mindbenda84]

I like the half black angel fish more than most breeds.

Clown Trigger, flashlight, and scribbled being the best lol leaf dragon and six Gill being worst. 71 tanks? I have 45...but I don't even need that many. Maybe when they add a ridiculously expensive high level that you sell for bucks...

 

[droidros]

Treetank...you've done a great job on all 80s tanks! I can't afford all the big bucks fish so don't recognize some things. What do you have in # 72 and in RedOctbr?

I have 32 tanks right now and find them a little hard too keep up with already. Of course it's Mainly because I don't have foodbricks and algae eaters. Wish the food bricks weren't so ugly! - TapRos

 

[droidros]

Has anybody noticed the difference in graphics quality between fish? Most of them are high quality...they are smoothly rendered and don't have any ragged outlines. But some, such as the snappers, are very rough. Compare them to other starter fish such as the banner fish, for example. However the worst are not starters: the purple seahorse and the highest level fish-the great white!--TapRos

 

[Mindbenda84]

The worst is by far the marine life shark. It still has the white outline lol

What fish are you using for money? If you are high enough level start running electric eels (high level) 75k a pop that sell for 125k adult without happiness bonus.

That's a good profit but I'm afraid I'm not there yet. Currently at level 49 so I'm using swords for my coins.

 

[droidros]

Nah...the worst is still the purple seahorse. He still has a little untrimmed area in the curl of his tail. I've sold him off.

The electric eels are also a bit rough but at least most of the breedables and hybrids are well drawn. Some of the best drawn fish have the most complex outlines....the leafy dragon and puffer for instance. However the sharks are pretty simple so I don't see why they aren't drawn well.

 

[Mindbenda84]

Like I have every fish so the game is pretty boring now. At 40 mil coins. Probably shouldn't have manipulated the database lol

 

[Mindbenda84]

I couldn't spend all of those coins if I wanted to. Full great white tanks would only make a shitton more money. Have you tried the barracuda?

 

[droidros]

Well, I guess when you have all the tanks and all the fish you can have there's nothing much left to do except wait for new fish. Have you completed all the breeds? There is a downside to getting everything you want!

I have some barracuda and they look pretty good. Still waiting for them to grow up.

 

[raynoldsk]

I think that is why Tapfish2 has "events" to keep you interested. The event fish don't make money, but you get little tank decorations for breeding them. I never did the frog one, but I am doing one with seahorses just to see what it is.

And Ros, I think the purple seahorse is supposed to glow. Not positive, but that is what the "fuzz" looks like to me.

 

[Mindbenda84]

Bred every fish already. And I topped out at 45 tanks. 15 money (electric eels) 5 money (great white shark) most of'em are showcase tanks lol

 

[TAZ427]

Howdy all. I just started tap fishing 2 days ago. Currently at lvl 8 w/ 3 tanks, and 2 breading tanks. First baby due due tomorrow afternoon - 'Yellow Fishie', Second baby due in 3 days - 'Eagle Damsel'. I got a bunch of Fish $ for 'Real - SuperPass 14 Day trial' I think it was 157 F$, not sure, I've done a few things for F$ and bought the Eagle Ray and Yellow Damsel to get the $141K offspring.

Doing Green Snappers during the day and Orange Snappers overnight currently and selling one at a time (it's already a PIA at 3 tanks so I'm not sure how much longer I'm keeping this up.)

Quick questions before my first baby comes (fish baby - I've got a real one already) do I need to have room in my tank? If I don't does it just drop into Inventory?

Before I spend 40 F$ on a third breeder, can a fish that's already breading be used in another breeder? Ok, I've answered my own question on this one. I bought another tank and I've got a 2nd Eagle Damsel on the way. I'm guessing that the ~$280K I net off of this (in about 5 days) will be enough seed money to get me going w/ more tanks and higher priced fish.

 

[TAZ427]

Another thought came up. Is anyone here besides myself playing on a tablet? I'm using the Motorola Xoom.

I've compared my Xoom vs my Droid phone (T-mobile G2 / HTC Desire-Z), the fish images are about 10% larger on the xoom, but the screen is about 2.5x as wide and as 2.5x as tall. The icon's are still in the corners and maybe 10% larger and same w/ the box up top and pop-up boxes as well.

The biggest difference is a lot more room for the fish to swim.

I also looked at TapRos on both Xoom and Phone at the same time, and it doesn't stay Sync'd at all. I didn't expect Sync Swimming, but I did expect sync to the cleaning and feeding. I'd clean on one, and the other wouldn't updated. I'd even leave the page, and come back and it still wouldn't show cleaned. Maybe the Sync is periodic.

Only a couple complaints on the Tablet version. One, hitting the 'Pointer/Fish Egg/Feed/...' button can be hit or miss because you're trying to avoid hitting the status button on the bottom of the Xoom and you can accidentally buy another fish (not good with F$ - I've got 2 Yellow Longnose fish by accident - was very careful buying the Eagle Ray and Yellowbelly Damsel when switching back to the list view.)

Another thing is the backgrounds are very blocky as it's streched, I think the fish keep their same pixel sizing.

A third issue is the info bar, there's room to display about 9 or 10 tanks in the list, but it stays w/ the 3 tanks - checked this looking at other players tanks) and you drag scroll this limited area. I'm assuming the same is for Inventory part but I haven't checked it.

The final issue is the 'Do this for F$ & coins'. Some of these go straight to an 'inside the box - browser' instead of allowing a launch of the browser or app store. In which case if it's to the App Store on browser (and inside the box) I'm not signed in, and if I click the sign in, it closes the window. Or if I have to enter info and I need to correct something it closes the window. Major PIA to get some F$.

FWIW, it could be easier to do the individual sells on the phone since the fish density is higher (and less tapping around the screen to gather them up)

One final thing I'd ask for is the ability to link the account to more than one Android device. I'd like to play the same account on my Phone and my Xoom.

EDIT: I also tossed up a couple quick pic's First one is one of TapRos' tanks and the second one is one of my Tanks (TAZ427 if you want to look me up on TapFish) sorry for the blurry pictures.
