Two questions about TapFish

Hi all... Im new to this forum and I read it often for advice, thank u all for ur knowledge and intelligence with this game.

So that being said I was wondering if anyone has a good understanding of what the most profitable breed mix there is, Im interested in coin or bucks fish. I know lots of people have posted some but there is also some that say that the devs change the profits regularly...

Thanks for anyones reply...
 
DroidGamers - TapFish is an aquarium game. You buy and sell fish, feed them, decorate their tanks, and breed them to make interesting hybrids. You can find it on the Android Market.

TriMak9800 - welcome to the forum. In terms of breeds, as far as I know, the Eagle Damsel (Eagle Ray + Yellowbelly Damsel) is the most profitable. It sells for 143115 coins plus 20% happiness points. There have been a lot of new breedables recently and I haven't been keeping up, so if anybody knows of a higher-priced hybrid, let us know.

You can see the Eagle Damsel in my BlueYell tank, which is about 7th from the end. It's the Eagle Ray with blue and yellow striped wings.

No, it's that it adds data to YOUR phone when you visit my tanks. So no one will visit each others tanks any more, because it will add more mbs to their game. That's why I'm upset.

I don't know if you read what jammyluke wrote in the other forum, but basically what happened was he looked at his data before visiting my tanks and after. Before, it was at Xmbs, and after 40mbs were added to the data!!!!!! He tried again, and with others, and the same thing happened. So that's why everyone's data was getting so high and we couldn't figure out why... Cause we visited each others tanks! :(

Now there's no incentive for people to visit each others tanks, which was one of the reasons why I liked to play- to display my decorations, designs, and fish.

I understand that you are saying it adds data to your tank if you visit a neighbor. That's bad for us and is poor design -- but I don't think they do that on purpose! (Unlike the way they've designed the pricing.) What "other forum" were you referring to?

The Tapfishers forum.. that's where jammyluke explained it to me. No, I don't think they meant for that to happen, but it just sucks and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. But hey- that's just me.

It's cute; it flaps its front paws back and forth to swim!
 
Thanks Obee. I went there this morning and saw him....tank name hadn't been updated but I was taken straight was there. He is a cute thing.
Don't worry...I'll keep visiting and so will others!
 
MAN DOWN!!! Well fish down, dang food cube expired and now I have 3 dead fish in tank Bred 14. Would someone please visit and give my fishies mouth to mouth :) Thank you soooooo much!!!!
 
Thanks Obee! I was trying to make a pumpkin and ran out of time. I need to give it another shot when I get some time :)
 
Ok, I'm only level 26 without the "editing" :) I enjoy the game, and I've completed the Green Snapper tropies, and will have the Sammy Fishies trophies all completed today. That being said, I'm the unofficial spreadsheet queen, and love making them. I'm making one for tapfish, but I need to get my hands on the fish images. Anyone know where I can get them?
 
Welcome, wifeduck.

One of our friends in this forum maintains a blog called tapfish 101. It's based on the iPhone version which has all the fish we have and many more. He has pics of everything!
 
That is the problem, everything I have found is based on the iphone/ipod version and has items that we don't have on the droid version......I am trying to get this as accurate as I can as to what is available to us (or more over, me), if someone else wants a copy they are welcome to it. Right now it is a crude spreadsheet.
 
Hello! Obee - I'll never stop visiting you! I love your tanks...Please don't leave tap fish!!
Did you guys see that the devs are promising a big surprise tomorrow? I'm so anxious, that tonight I had a dream about Tap Fish...lol! I will have to go to a Tap fish rehab very soon!! Even when I'm working I think about my tanks!:p
Thank you all for the compliments about my tanks...I really put so much effort in order to create them...lol
Also I found in the internet some pictures that show from where the devs get their ideas. See below

I'll look for more and post the results here...Its funny because they simply copy real pictures of fish and coral...
 
Wifeduck,
You know what is available on Android by looking at the trophies. You asked for pictures... the pictures of all those breeds are available on Tapfish 101.

What sort of spreadsheet are you creating? I have also been putting together a spreadsheet with all the breedables on the x and y axes, with the values for the hybrids on the intersections (like a mileage chart). I got about half done, then had a computer breakdown. I've gotten my file back and planning to start back.
 
Hello I'm new here and I tried to read through most of the posts so sorry if this is a repetitive question : p I was wondering for the special events like the hermit crab one we just had and the seahorse one we have now, how do you make different babies? Like for the seahorse one I only caught 1 pink female seahorse and a male seahorse with a cowboy hat and every single baby I make perrywinkle seahorse. Is there a way to catch some more male seahorses for different ones? I don't see any options in the event menu besides the list showing what rewards I can get for breeding. I don't know how to get different babies like I see in other peoples tanks and I don't want to keep wasting breeding tanks making the same babies.

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew what to breed to get the green beta fish. I saw it in someone's tank and it looks like a regular beta fish but greenish and with a floppy tail.

Thanks for your help! :)
 
Welcome, Calypso!

It's the same male and female that breed all the varieties. It's a matter of chance which one you get, but when you get a duplicate, just cancel it and try again. You might have to keep trying, but eventually you should get different ones. I managed to get all ten of the hermit crabs without too much difficulty.

The green fish you are asking about is probably the Siamese Snapper, which is a Green Snapper bred with Siamese Tiger fish. The Betta Snapper is not that pretty. The tail is like a fan and not floppy.

Yay thanks TapRos!

If only I had known this before lol. I would have done much better during the Hermit Crab event! I read your message yesterday but didn't get a chance to respond 'till now. Although I tried what you said and it worked perfectly, I've got all my baby seahorses growing in the breeding lab now. Ugh, this game is horribly addicting :P

And thanks for the info on the Siamese Snapper. I've been searching forever for that thing and always assumed it was a beta breed. I found the pictures on that TapFish 101 site mentioned here and that is the right one. I'm excited to breed him...as soon as all the seahorses are done!

I just bread a Trigger Angler, he's pretty basic but I think he looks pretty cool, he's become one of my new favorites :D

And in response to what Tamagoshi said about the game using real fish and coral etc. for inspiration, I've noticed it since I started watching a show called Tanked where they make custom fish tanks. And when they go to pick out the fish I'm thinking Oh I know that one's name, and that one, and look there's that one! well at least I learned something from playing :P
