• Use the Escape key to toggle the pause menu to restart, quit, etc.
  • Tap the food button to feed your fish.  They'll only eat if they're at least 10% hungry
  • Tap the Medicine button to try to cure any sickness in the fish (sickness bar at the right)
  • Tap the "Clean" button to clean your fishtank.  You can only do this once per minute, and it does stress the fish, causing them to get sick easier.

Instructions

  • Clicking the "Add Food" button feeds the fish.  You feed them 10 pellets at a time, and your total amount is 100 so be sparing with them.  Fish will only eat if they are at least 10% hungry.
  • Clicking the "Add Medicine" button medicates the tank.  Each fish will at minimum have 45% of their sickness healed, and each also has a chance to get most of their sickness healed.
  • Clicking the "Clean Tank" button cleans the tank, and removes any poop and food from the tank.  This stresses your fish, but if you feed them, it will help reduce that stress.  Cleaning the tank can only be done once every 60 seconds, and helps to prevent your fish from getting sick.
  • You can see stats for the tank, and each fish on the right hand side of the screen
    • The fish tank gets dirtier as food and poop decay.  Checking the dirtiness combined with the poop and food counts give you a good idea of when you should clean your tank.
    • Each fish has a hunger meter.  If this gets to 100%, the fish will starve to death.
    • Each fish has a sick meter.  If this gets to 100%, the fish will die of illness.
    • Each fish has a stress meter.  More stress causes you fish to get sick more often, and faster.  It's a good idea to try to keep this as low as possible.
