Tanks

You start with a small tank with room for 4 fish. Each size up is bought once and keeps everything in it.

The Medium tank key in the shop

Medium tank

level 2 · 60 shells · room for 8 fish

Moves your fish into a bigger tank. More water means a full tank clouds over no faster than a small one, so the one you saved up for is calmer to keep, not more work.

The Large tank key in the shop

Large tank

level 4 · 180 shells · room for 14 fish

Moves your fish into a bigger tank. More water means a full tank clouds over no faster than a small one, so the one you saved up for is calmer to keep, not more work.

The Grand tank key in the shop

Grand tank

level 7 · 450 shells · room for 22 fish

Moves your fish into a bigger tank. More water means a full tank clouds over no faster than a small one, so the one you saved up for is calmer to keep, not more work.

One tank of each water. The two share a wallet and a level; everything else is their own.

The Saltwater tank key in the shop

Saltwater tank

level 4 · 150 shells · once

A saltwater tank beside your freshwater one, with clownfish, royal grammas, firefish, a blue tang and the lionfish, and a line-up to pick its first fish from. Set a Tank key to Saltwater to open it.

The Freshwater tank key in the shop

Freshwater tank

level 1 · 60 shells · once

Only if your first tank is saltwater (it could be converted before 1.2): a freshwater tank to go beside it.

Lights

The basic hood comes with the tank. A brighter light shows the colours off and grows the plants and coral that need it, but algae grows faster under it too.

The Planted light key in the shop

Reef light

level 5 · 180 shells · algae 30% faster

Food

Everyone starts on flakes. Better food is bought once and used from then on: it fills a fish further, pleases it a little, and leaves less behind to rot.

The Sinking pellets key in the shop

Sinking pellets

level 2 · 45 shells · fills 33% more, 15% less mess, +2% happiness

Pellets sink to the bottom, so the slow fish and the bottom feeders get their share.

A treat they go wild for, and the best for bringing a pair into breeding condition.

Plants and decor

Everything you put in the tank makes the fish a little happier, and some of it keeps the water cleaner. Decor and food together add at most +15% happiness, and however planted a tank is, it still needs cleaning.

The Plastic plant key in the shop

Plastic plant

level 1 · 12 shells · up to 6 · +2% happiness, water dirties 2% slower
