FISH EGGS
I am SOOOOOOO obcessed with this so called 'Game'. ........
My fishies are 'real' ... I just KNOW they are!!!
The Tanks of
eggs below were breed to try to set things straight in my own mind... in
response to a question by Intensivewings on the forum about common
eggs. NONE of this helped with the problem, but I find it all very
interesting. The following could SPOIL the game!!! Please do
not read it unless you don't mind finding out things from my studies that
might be more fun finding out for yourself!
And note that I use no aeration or temperature control in my level
one and level two environment tanks. I never buy those till I game
is up and running and I have LOTS of money coming in, and all the breeder
fish that I need. I just get the aerator for the 'bubbles'. :) |
COMMON ONE EGGS
I cross only those with full health. If health is down slightly I
cross it only with an identical fish .. and keep it only till it's health
is have way down. Then I sell it and breed it's off spring if their
health is sufficient.The safest breeding is in not cross
breeding alot! Several Fruitfish and Goldbulbs (Spotanus/Shark
Cross) are very good money makers.

Common Eggs Include these "Perfect Fish"
- Twinfin Spotanus (Magic Fish)
- Silky Shark
- Greenfin Beta
- Orange Fruitfish
- Spined Stickfish
- Pink Fatfish
and fin/body combinations of the above |
UNUSUAL EGGS
|
Unusual Fish Eggs Include these "Perfect Fish"
And fin/body combinations of the above and some fish
and fins from the common eggs |
More Unusual Eggs |
In response to a thread on the forum, I made this tank full of new
Unusual Egg fish sick by over feeding them. It took ALOT of over
feeding to get their health down to yellow. When I quit feeding them
they all quickly recovered |
RARE EGGS
|
I had never bought rare eggs more than a couple times, because I can
breed any fish that I need. Once I saw that there were no 'new' fish
in them, I knew I didn't need them. Doing this tank full,
however, I was surprised to see that there were no new fish other than
those available in the Common and Unusual eggs... Just more crosses of
those. I will breed more tanks to see if this always holds
true. |
More Rare Eggs - four batches
|
And a third tank of rares - four batches of eggs
|
Level two eggs in level one tank
|
I also put some Unusual eggs in a level one tank .. and they all
survived, but with a small degree of low health. They could probably be
breed one or two times if you had two of the same type, and then would
need to be sold The one with the hand on it is a Golden Goldbulb
which is commonly used for breeding in a new tank. |
Unusual and rare eggs in level one tank
|
And I was really surprised to see Rare eggs survive in my level one
tank. A batch of Rare is here added to the tank of Unusual
fish, above |
All my games are thus far run in the easy mode ...
My conclusion so far is that there is no reason to buy any eggs but
common ones. If you only breed your common eggs, you can control
what babies you get, and only breed ones that you know will survive.
Only 11 Perfect Fish were found in eggs .. and combinations of those
fins and bodies. That leaves 10 fish that can only be breed
... OR perhaps found with the Unknown Chemical.
I've run all these tanks in a couple of hours, and my conclusions are
not necessary 'right' or the only ones that can be found. They are
just where I am in the game, with what I have learned so far.
The
arrangement of the eggs, however, does make me wonder if there is not
perhaps a better method for breeding than the one I am currently using.
One that parallels the egg order. ......... I'll be working to
figure that out next! :)
