Players have the option to train, mate, or sell their tropical fish each day. Training a fish brings up a challenging underwater game. The selected fish will be dropped into a dangerous environment with traps scattered throughout the course. Owners must guide their fish safely pass the obstacles by avoiding them or clicking them out of harms way. Bonus gold coins and food will fall from above. If the fish successfully makes it to the finish line any bonus coins or food will be added as a prize along with XP. Each training session is an opportunity for the fish to learn a new trick. There are six tricks consisting of the zig zag, loop, dive, figure 8, spiral, and follow that the fish earns after completing a training session.

If players have a male and female of the same fish species they can mate. Mating fish cost a fraction of the amount a user would pay to purchase a baby fish. Fish are only allowed to mate once a day. Selling tropical fish is another method to earn more coins. At anytime players can visit their friend’s fish tank or take a picture of their own fish retreat to share. In comparison with other fish tank games Happy Aquarium’s gameplay is quite entertaining.
