Two questions about TapFish

I believe its 12 fishbucks to speed up breeding

If you speed up breeding, regardless of how much time is left, your fish will be finished breeding and ready to add to a tank

So if you are going to speed up breeding, you might as well do it on a fish with 3 days left instead of wasting the same amount of fishbucks on a fish with 3 hours left
 
I think I'm just going to have to continue to be patient! I only have 3 breeding tanks. They are fairly well staggered but it still is a long wait between each one.
 
Has anyone at level 38 or below upgraded to the new version of TapFish 1.04?

It says with the new version you get a free fishbuck at every level, but since I'm above level 40 where I get a fishbuck anytime I advance anyway, I was wondering if anyone has gotten a free fishbuck for leveling up after upgrading to the new version of the app?

I didn't get 40 free bucks for my previous level ups or anything, but it would be nice for the lower level people to get some free fishbucks as they level up!
 
I just missed a free fishbuck because I didn't know about it before and upgraded moments after leveling up, so I'm looking forward to reaching the next level!

Sorry you missed out on the first 40 or so fishbucks, Akwatik!

For anybody who is curious about what all the bred fish look like, one neighbor seems to have all, or most, of them. His/her fish name is ensitankado.
 
I'm having an issue today - this is the first time something hasn't worked properly for me in Tapfish. I bought my Tank 8 and added some fish to it. Then I bought a number of decorations, including the Fairy Tale Castle which is supposed to add 5 happiness points, and two coral reefs that add 3 each. I also moved some 1-point items from other tanks. When it reached 89% happiness, it wouldn't go any further, regardless of what I added. There were no hungry fish and I had expressed my love. I then tried moving things out one at a time and adding them to another tank. The other tanks would register the additional points, but Tank 8 seemed stuck at 89%. Then I moved everything out and it went down to 80%. I slowly added things back in and finally got it to 91%. I didn't use the Fairy Tale Castle because that didn't seem to allow the points to get beyond 89! It is now stuck at 91% and nothing I add registers. But at least it's past 90.

Anyone come across a glitch like this? :confused:

I leveled up from 11 to 12 and received the fishbuck. That was nice and I was able to add it to the bucks I earned through downloading apps to buy the yellow longnose that I had somehow lost.

Not sure man...I know when I've decorated various tanks, there seems to be a limit of what certain plants or decorations can accrue...for example, if you add 20 Green Elestos, you aren't going to get +20 happiness...I usually mix it up to get above 90%...but for whatever reason some decorations don't compound
 
Treetank: Your tanks are nice..I also added you as a neighbor..For some reason i dont get my fish bucks after i download the apps. Ive downloaded several..Unforntally i had to buy some..Its now my 3rd time buying them..Watch its addictive..First i just got like 20.. then i got 4.99 worh.. And yesturday i got 9.99. I still more.. I took the advice on the green snappers.. i only got 2 tanks with them so far... I did wonder when i first started why alot of people just had a bunc of green snappers and the banded buttterflys in all there tanks..All of fyour alls post have been usefull.. I wish id fount this from the begining. Ive been playing it for a month now...I should be alot further than what I am..If you all want you can take a look...midnight25601

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, on this particular tank I had very few duplicate decorations. But I had bought two (different) coral reefs and one castle and, while I'm not sure, it seemed to be the addition of these multi-point decorations that wouldn't let the points accumulate. When I moved the castle and one reef to another tank, I was able to get this one past 91% when I added one-pointers.

So far, I haven't had any trouble receiving fishbucks after downloading apps (knock on wood) and have earned more than 20 free bucks this way. I have the Droid X. I haven't downloaded any app I wanted to keep though!

I knew I wouldn't get what I wanted and would get sucked into spending more and more if I started out with just a few bucks, so I put down $20 for 240 bucks. I spent the first 40 bucks for the 3rd breeding tank then used the rest on the breedable fish with the highest offspring values. The $20 was worth it because while I don't have all the fish I would like, I have plenty of breedable combinations. However, while the developers deserve to make money from this app, I think that they charge much too much. I'm not sure what the minimum one would have to spend in order to get all the fish one wanted but the highest package of bucks costs $100 - which is way more than most people would want to spend on a phone app! The ads are very annoying too but again it costs too many bucks to turn them off.

This is a very well designed and addictive game though. I've been playing for 2-3 weeks and am now up to level 12, 9 tanks, and 3 breeding tanks. I wish I could buy some more breeding tanks, but at 40 bucks each, that's not possible. I also enjoy the ability to visit neighbors' tanks and see what fish people have bred and how they've decorated their tanks.

The banded butterflys are profitable but are such ugly fish! They look like a tankful of bugs so I never fill a tank with them but mix them up with other more attractive fish.

lol..well dont pay any attention to how mine is decorated...I once did have it looking pretty good.. I have a tank thats my 3 year olds..So from time to time when im not paying attention he grabs my phone and goes to town.. Ive lost thousands of coins that way to.. I threatened him the other day whne he did it.. 11 fish bucks and 42 thousand coins gone.. I told him i was saleing his fish..He started crying said mommy i love my fishies.. So I had to tell him i was sorry and not to get my phone and spend my money unless im there.. Im the one being a child over a game... well i will tell you im on level 22.. waiting on leveling up to 23..almost there.. anxiously waiting to see if i get a fish buck.. dont ask me how i moved up so quick..It wasnt nothing i did.. once again i let my lil one play with the fish.. I tought him how to clean others fishtanks and feed em.. Hes a big gamer to be so young.. well i got my phone and looked at it, and i went from like level 8 to level 20 and had 20 thousand more coins that what i shoulda...So he done something..just not so bad that time...oh by the way, i have you as a neighbor to..Tapros..ive had you as one for a while...I think i got it from the site...
 
Wow Akwatic,your tanks are great! i'm so jealous lol I hate only being on level six, its driving me nuts! well... gotta go sell some snappers :(
 
So, Midnight, you mean your 3-year-old managed to raise you from level 8 to level 20 while you weren't looking?? Can I borrow him to manage my tanks?
 
Has anybody figured out what the interval is between being able to receive 25 coins and 2 xp just for visiting one's tank? And does anybody have a sore finger?
 
He sure did...You can borrow him..I will tell ya..He like to buy silly fish..I got it the other day and he had a bunch of lion fish on there. So let me ask.. What do you do exactally when you download the apps?? Im hoping im just doing it wrong...
 
Oh and another thing.. Im wanting the new Droid Charge... I was thinking last night..If I got a new phone are they anyway i can take my game with me..like storing it on my sd card??? Or will i have to start over..

While in Tapfish, I click on the Earn Free Fishbucks and select the app, then choose Market to download the app. Then I open the app and play with it enough for it to recognize that I am running it. I then exit the app and go immediately to Tapfish. If I'm still in Tapfish, I exit it then go back in. Then it tells me I have received my fishbucks. I hope you can figure out what if anything you did wrong and that it's not just a bug. The developers are not very responsive, I know.

I mainly downloaded the apps that only appear for a limited aount of time, including Ninja Jump, Pet Beauty Parlor (or something like that) and some others. I also initially did the Facebook fan thing. I haven't downloaded Skout or Word with Friends.

Yesterday there was an offer for 9 fishbucks if you answer 50 questions. I thought I'd give it a try. I assumed it was for some marketing research. It started asking some innocuous questions such as age range and so on, then told me some questions would be repeated and I wouldn't get credit if I don't answer the same way each time. After answering about 5 questions, it told me I have 50 questions left to answer. Then it asked a really personal question and there was no way to avoid answering it, so I just canceled it.
 
I love Tap Fish, and had it both on my Android and my iPad.

The iPad version had better fish and they were cheaper, too. By "better" I mean they had a breedable manta ray that made the most interesting-looking rays when you bred it. And they had breedable special holiday fish that were ridiculous-looking, but you could sell them for a tremendous amount of coins. And new tanks were only 1000 coins, instead of 4000 on the Android version.

They took it off iTunes (said Apple cracked down on apps that let you download other apps for "currency," although lots of others are still on there.) So I switched to Tap Reef on the iPad. It is more realistic, but I like Tap Fish better. In Tap Reef, if you breed a Clown Fish and a different fish, you get either a clown fish or whatever the other fish was; in Tap Fish, you get something weird and neat.

And another thank you for explaining all those tanks with 50 green snappers! I was starting to wonder about people:D
 
So I've managed to save up 30 fishbucks and want to buy some breedable fish. Which ones do you guys think I should get? I vant decide with such limited funds lol I was thinking yellow longnose and blowfish and then saving up for some others like a guppy... or maybe the rainbow notho and something else... im just indecisive, what do you guys think?
 
Are you looking to breed pretty fish, or fish that are worth lots of coins.

The rainbow notho makes really pretty fish.

The Betta for 24 coins and the Glow Fish for 32 are pretty and breed the highest priced babies for the bucks, unless you want to save up for the Sailfin Tang, which costs 48. To see what all fish and their offspring look like visit enseitankado.
 
I just added enseitankado as a neighbor, wow he/she has a ton of neat fish! Must've either spent lots of cash, or done a little file editing ;)

I have a tank right now called Clownin thats all 22 of the Clownfish Breeds...and yes, I spent some fishbucks to speed up breeding to get them all in a short time

Also whoever CookieMonstr is, they added me and they have over 60 tanks! Many are for breeding green snapper but they have not only some need hybrids and other fish, but some really cool tanks. I like their Cinco de Mayo tank!
