Did the Swissguard just change from 1 hour to 3 days?
I typed up a sheet for myself, before I found your nice one, and had them listed as one day and see if there on other sheets. In fact I quickly bought some and was surprised that they were three day not 1 hour.

Also, I read that you get sand dollars for leveling up. Is this true? Not happening for me.
Thanks

I noticed today that zynga changed the rules: all of a sudden, a tank can only hold a maximum of 40 fish, instead of 50. Needless to say that I am pissed off.

We need new fish ! tbh, something we can buy with coins and not sand dollars – specially for higher levels.. (40+ )

> Where can you see on which level you tank
> numer 3,4.5 etc. holds more than 30 fish.

In the top right corner of your tank is a picture of a tank with a number on it (1, 2, 3, etc) that is your tank number. If you hover your mouse over that icon, you’ll see a ratio, something like “10 / 50″. That means your tank currently has 10 fish and can hold 50 fish.

Here’s a fish that isn’t in your table:

Blue Mandarin (only available to Facebook fans of the game)
Egg experience: +30
Egg cost: -75
Time to grow to level 1: 1 day
Exp gained when sold at level 1: 100
Gold gained when sold at level 1: 200

There seem to be a lot of new fish added since December 1.

There’s a fan fish in Fishville called Blue Mandarin. Can you give us an information if this fish gains more XP compared to the gobies.

Thanks for this wonderful post. It has helped a lot of Fishville fanatics.

So.. is it better spamming Mini darts or Sardines all day long?

Adam, I’m still eagerly awaiting the promised follow-up with these figures updated to reflect sell time. If you could point me in the right direction, I’ll try to do it myself! Thanks

I have a level 27 sardine, but after level 4 the xp and sell for price doesn’t change.

Can you update this with the new fish that have been added? A level 3 version if you will…

By: Frederik

Any one knowes who currently are on the highest level ? Is there an official Highscore list ? Where can you see on which level you tank numer 3,4.5 etc. holds more than 30 fish. Zynga has just updated the game with more fish, tanks etc. highest level appear to be Level 70 – Many thanks Fred

Has anyone let any fish grow really old to see if they ever turn into anything above an adult fish? I have a level 16 mini dart goby that still doesn’t offer more than 24 exp. Anyone have anything going beyond that?

By: Joseph

Joseph — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:06:52 +0000

I agree. I currently have 130 of them in my tanks at age 1. I will post soon with the xp for age 2.

I knew from an economic standpoint the gobies are about the best in terms of efficiency before coming across this site. That being said, I like to have a couple of swissguard basslets swimming around because I think they’re pretty, and they’re inconvenient for me to tend to as junior fish, so I keep a few adults. Maybe some people would just really like the looks of the blue hippo tang.

it does not take longer to get to level 4.
this is a tricky part but you start out at level 0
lets take the goby:
after 5 mins he goes to level 1, when you scoll over it it looks like you need 5 more minutes to get to level 1(what is at the end of the meter). but in fact you are on level one. when the meter fills up the star will change to level 2.

when you get to level 4 (when 4 shows in the star) you are at the max. 6exp for every 5 minutes. level 4 x 6 exp = 24 exp. there is no more than that.

it takes 20 mins to get to max after that it takes a longer time to get to the next level which will NOT give you more money or Exp.

you had it right the first time.

great article. thanks.

My mistake, you do have info on the Blue Spot Grouper (Level 1 XP = 405) on the “Full Table” tab, but it isn’t included in any of the other tables or graphs. Was that on purpose or just a minor oversight or what?

By: Darrin W. Cullop

Darrin W. Cullop — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:46:24 +0000

I noticed that your data is missing the fish “Blue Spot Grouper”. I’ve collected as much as I can, but I’m missing the selling XP for a level 1 sale. I’ll post that as soon as I have it (but I have to wait 2 days because that’s the grow time). Here’s the rest of the info:

Blue Spot Grouper
—
Available At: Level 24
Grows In: 2880 Minutes (2 Days)
Sells For: 365
Costs: 112
XP Buy: 45
XP Level 1: ???

Hope that helps, and thanks again for compiling this info.

Thanx for all this info. I want to get more experience so I can get more tanks, and therefore more profit lately, and your tables have been very helpful.
I thought I was wasting my time with my virtual farm and my virtual aquarium, but now that I see your tables, and all the amount of time you must have put into it, I don’t feel so bad anymore : )

Darrin W. Cullop — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:47:07 +0000

Thank you for this! I was in the process of compiling this information myself, so I’m really glad to see that it is already done. I must admit that I was forgetting to add the XP for the eggs as well, so my numbers would have been off! Great job!

My question is… Does anyone have any ideas as to why is the Blue Hippo Tang so disappointing? As one of the last fish to be earned, you would think it would have better stats as a reward for working your way up to getting them, however it is dead last as far as XP / Minute, and the profitability isn’t much better.

Thanks again for your effort.

fish size also plays a very real role in determining the time it takes to sell all your fish. a bigger fish results in much less downtime.

i haven’t checked in the game, but why did your Shy Hamlet change:
in the part 1:
Fish XP / One Level Min / Four Levels XP / Minute
Shy Hamlet 75.00 240.00 0.31

and in part 2:
Fish XP / Egg XP / L1 Minutes / L1 XP / Minute
Shy Hamlet 18 78 240 0.33

From 75 to 78

Great analysis everyone…I knew it wouldn’t be long before I found such a site….I wish someone would do an update like this for farmville.
