Facebook Games:Fish World New Players Guide - Learn about Fish World
Game Basics - Buying and Feeding
The first thing you’re going to want to do as a new player in Fish World is to buy some fish for your new tank. You can get fish from the game store icon located at the bottom of your screen. You should pick the starter fish since these are less expensive and you won’t have many coins at the beginning. Your fish need to be fed periodically so be sure to log on and feed them. You can select any fish and view the hunger bar with each fish displaying a “hunger bubble” when they need food. If you wait too long when they are hungry the fish will die and you won’t get any coins from them. When you buy fish they start as a baby and then grow into adults so give each fish time to fully grow before selling them because you will get more coins. You can see how long each fish will take to reach adulthood by clicking on them and viewing the status bar.
Cleaning Your Tank
Another part of Fish World is the cleaning of your tank. As you play your tank will slowly accumulate algae which you will need to remove with the sponge located in the game interface. When you use the sponge you will clean the tank, help to keep your fish happy and even earn some experience and coins doing so. If you click on a fish you will see a happiness bar which can be maintained in the green with cleaning and adding items to your tank such as plants.
Game Interface
Now that we know the basics of Fish World let’s take a look at the interface so you know where everything is. At the top left you have your money coins and any money you have purchased in the game. Fish World unfortunately doesn’t give you any free money you need to purchase it. At the far left you will find your experience bar to which indicated the points you have and your current level in the game. If you mouse over the bar it will tell you how many points you need to the next level. Each level will also give you a title such as “Fish Enthusiast.” Now we will look at the icons at the bottom right of your screen.
