I am a huge fan of fish and plant tycoon so if you have not tried the first game you will not notice the changes. Though the graphics are so much better and the amount of different colored fish is incredible...

I am a huge fan of fish and plant tycoon so if you have not tried the first game you will not notice the changes. Though the graphics are so much better and the amount of different colored fish is incredible... I feel that they took away so many of the good and much needed things like the very important growth chart, so without paper and pen you must have a good memory to remember who breed with who. I miss in the store where you could at least clink on useful info to stop the boring time it takes to sell the fish, it would of been great if you could get a coin for every balloon popped and I do love the mascot and change of people though I do miss the kids. I love the music and the sound of the water, it is so calming and relaxing. All in all, This is a wonderful game, one that will give you many hours of intertainment. Now if we can just get them to do a "Bird Tycoon"... imagine the different kinds of birds, colored feathers and eggs living in different nests, they could do a lot with that and it could go a long way. Well I can still hope. I am thankful for games like this, ones that are not "fear" based and grim. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game is a little tricky at first to figure out, but once you do, it's kind of fun! It reminds me of Doodle God, the game where you combine two elements to come up with an entirely different element. That's exactly what you do in Fish Tycoon, only with fish, as you drag two fish into the breeding tank, and see what their offspring is. Then you sell them to make money, which allows you to buy ...Show more

This game is a little tricky at first to figure out, but once you do, it's kind of fun! It reminds me of Doodle God, the game where you combine two elements to come up with an entirely different element. That's exactly what you do in Fish Tycoon, only with fish, as you drag two fish into the breeding tank, and see what their offspring is. Then you sell them to make money, which allows you to buy supplies and decorations.

It's a pretty simple game in reality, but the tutorial is horrible at explaining the basics, at least in my experience. It took me a while to figure out that I had to remain in the "shop" to sell fish, I thought selling the fish would take place while I was tending to my fish, but that wasn't the case. You just need to select 2 fish (they don't need to be the same species) from the aquarium, and place them into the breeding tank. After a few seconds, the magic takes place as indicated by the red hearts. You can click on any adult fish in the tank, to pull up the Species Information, which tells you the name of the species, if it's pregnant, it's health status, how well fed it is, and whether it's a common or uncommon species. Some fish play a vital role, such as keeping fish from becoming ill, so you will want to hang onto the important ones.

Everything takes time, laying eggs, hatching eggs, and growing to adulthood, but lucky for us, there's products to purchase to speed up these processes. Insta-birth, insta-hatch and even insta-growth formulas can be purchased with money you earn selling fish, or completing various goals. You can also buy aquarium decorations, equipment upgrades, or items in the shop that will bring in more revenue. There are daily rewards as well, that are available every 24 hours.

There are 7 Rare fish to discover, and a total of 21 different species. Rare fish require Research, which of course cost money, the higher the research required, the higher the cost. Within the research category are sub-categories for Advertising, Food research, and Environment research. You can have several different aquariums too, located at the top, next to the sell tank. Hopefully Felix can forgive us :) enjoy!

I was very glad to see that a Tycoon game was available again. I bought it right away. Its not a tm game but I found it just as enjoyable. It is a good strategy game that takes a while to play.

I was very glad to see that a Tycoon game was available again. I bought it right away. Its not a tm game but I found it just as enjoyable. It is a good strategy game that takes a while to play. I hope they come out with more. I did not find it hard to figure out but it took some time to get use to the options again. The only thing I found negative is that it takes way too long between the hatching and the fish to become an adult. Maybe just a little less time would be great... Show less

Great throwback to the old classic. I love Fish Tycoon 1 and must say, I'm loving Fish Tycoon 2 just as much if not more! The developers did a great job with this sequel, so much nostalgia!

The game's mechanics are very simple, breed fish to make money and unlock rarer breeds!

Happy Fishing!

I recommend this game!

This edition does not have the time changing ability so I have to learn the wait times for eggs to hatch and mature but I can tell I am going to love this one as much as the first.

Please come up with more games like this one... Show less

It is a good and relaxing game, and it is up yo you to decide how fast it should go.
To use growth potion are cheaper than in the first edition, so you can really be going in a few hours if you do it right.

Breeding and selling fish is what the game is about. If you have played the first one then there are some changes from the first, one you can't use it like you would as a screen saver to relax (a big one that last day of work did that I loved) second you have to press the esc button or not have it in full screen mode to shut the game down don't care much for that either. The fish are similar. For the good changes I will leave that alone and not be a spoiler alert. I bought it right after I downloaded it didn't even need my hour trial. And Now I played it a few hours I am glad I did, I really enjoy this game. Show less

I love fish tycoon and plant tycoon. I also love the diner dash games and artists colony which doens't seem to be up anymore. I really can't stand hidden object games and wish there were more of these types around. I love breeding them and seeing the tiny baby fish. Some eat their young like in real life though so you have to be careful. So many combinations you'll take hours and hours to find all ...Show more

I love this game! I bought it because I liked the first version Fish Tycoon. But this one is so much better! You can revive dead fish and the graffics are better. Comparatively the first one is disappointing compared to this one.

I recommend this game!
