Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Fish Tycoon was created by an independent game studio in San Francisco, California. It has a funny, wishful name - "Last Day of ____"?

Answer: Work

Based in San Francisco, California, "Last Day of Work" was founded in 2004 by Arthur Humphrey together with his wife Carla. They both put a great deal of nurturing into developing and publishing thoughtful games for casual audiences, games that are easy to pick up and play but also provide more in-depth and complex gameplay than the typical casual game.

2. When starting the game, you are provided with a few teen fishes, some common fish eggs and how many Isola bucks (the currency of the game)?

Answer: 300

Your cash is 300 dollars (Isola bucks) when the game starts. That is not much, so you will need to breed and breed and sell many fishes before you can get all the supplies you need for going on with the game.

3. To sell your fishes you need to move them to the "Sale Tank", but they will sell ONLY if they are ___?

Answer: adults

You can sell any common or exotic breed or magic fishes, even if they are not in perfect health, but they have to be adults. You can move baby fishes into the "Sale Tank" but they won't sell.

4. What colour is the bottle with the medicine for fungal treatment?

Answer: purple

The fungal treatment (for when green specks appear on your fishes) is in a purple bottle. The ick treatment (for white specks) is in a yellow one. These are the only medicines available in the game.

5. How many magic plants are available for buying in "Fish Tycoon"?

Answer: four

There are four magic plants you can buy and use - Plant of Nutrition; Plant of Incubation; Plant of Curing; Plant of Fertility. Their names gives you a good clue about what they are useful for.

6. In order for the rarer, more exotic breeds to survive, which research do you need to complete?

Answer: Environment research

The "Environment research" is the one you absolutely need for the rarer and more delicate fishes to survive in your tanks.
It is recommended that you also completely research the other two (Food and Advertising) for playing the game as smoothly as possible, without too many 'obstacles' like diseases or fishes dying of malnutrition.

7. What is the maximum number of fish you can hold in one tank?

Answer: 21

You can have a maximum of 21 fish (adults and babies) in each tank OR 20 fish and the seahorse (which you can buy from the supplies store).
If you have pregnant fish(es) in a full tank, they won't be able to breed as there's no room for new babies.

8. Six of the seven magic fishes have special characteristics which are useful for the other fishes you have in the same tank. Which one is "The Magic Fish of Fertility"?

Answer: Greenfin Spotanus

Greenfin Spotanus is the "The Magic Fish of Fertility". Usually, this is the first magic fish you discover in the game and it comes from the batch of fish eggs you start the game with.
The other magic fishes are: Speckled Leaffish (The Magic Fish of Sustenance); Crimson Comet (The Magic Fish of Curing); Oriental Goldbulb (The Magic Fish of Growth); Orange Snooper (The Magic Fish of Health) Wasp Grouper (The Magic Fish of Mutation); Canary Fire-Arrow (The Golden Guppy - unspecified characteristic).

Answer: The Golden Guppy

"The Golden Guppy" is the nickname of the Canary Fire-Arrow. It is the most expensive breed and if you find it quick you're in for the big bucks at a speedy rate.

Answer: 42 (21+21)

There are 21 fin types and 21 body types available, making it possible to breed 441 species of fish.

Fin types are: Greenfin, Flagged, Oriental, Canary, Wasp, Hornet, Pink, Crimson, Speckled, Stubby, Twinfin, Spined, Orange, Great-Sail, Razorback, Snubbed, Golden, Silky, Fanned, Tiger, Finless.

Body types are: Fatfish, Beta, Shark, Bananafish, Flashfish, Comet, Spotanus, Fruitfish, Stickfish, Arrowfish, Leaffish, Grouper, Fire-Arrow, Goldshark, Carp, Goldbulb, Pigmy, Snout, Quicksilver, Snooper, Catfish.
