The main goal of the game is to manage your aquarium and harvest various fishes in it which can be sold on the market for money. You can also decorate your aquarium and interact with your neighbours by sharing gifts and tasks. Although it may sound very simple, it does consume a lot of time if you do not know some few shortcuts and tips. At the beginning of the game, you are supplied with two or three fishes to begin your aquarium.
As in real life business, in order to get more fishes you need to sell off your current ones. By selling the fishes you receive coins which then can be used in the Store to buy different varieties of fish eggs. Each variety has a different cost. Then drop the eggs in your tank and then later they hatch and grow into full fledged fishes. The larger the size of the fish, the more is its market value.
Food is a requisite for your fishes to grow in a healthy manner that can raise your profits. If you are not careful with their diet, then they may even die leaving you with a big loss to deal with. Use the feed tool to feed the fishes. The fishes respond and grow faster if you make them feel special. Click on the " Give Fish Love" tool in order to make your fishes happy. This will impact your profits in a positive manner bringing in more coins.

After having accumulated plenty of coins, you can set about decorating your tank by buying accessories of your taste. You can also buy more tanks to expand your fishery which will then bring in even more coins.
