Ah, virtual fish raising. Who knew that such a seemingly simple, innocuous task would be so dang interesting. I sure as heck didn’t. I actually ignored the first few of these games that hit the market too. I didn’t try out Happy Aquarium or Fish World because I thought it was silly to play a game of something that was frankly boring in real life.
Luckily, a friend of mine got caught up in the FishVille craze a few days ago and dragged me in with her, making it so I had no choice but to try the game out. It turns out that these fish games are actually pretty fun – now I’m wholly addicted to it and have been seeking out whatever paths to success I can find. It turns out though, that when a new game like this hits the market, it’s really hard to find tips of any use.
I had been looking just about everywhere for someone who could tell me which fish to raise and how to raise them and no one seemed to have the right answers. But, then I ran across FishVille Secrets – the guide from Tony Sanders that everyone was talking about on the forums.
It was a fantastic looking guide that allowed me to get knee deep into just about anything in the game, digging around for all the right details and the necessary routes to mega success that would let me excel. It turns out that I was doing just about everything wrong. Which is no surprise because I wasn’t really trying that hard.
But, when I put the tips in FishVille Secrets to work, everything flipped on its head and I was getting things out f the game that I never could have expected. More coins, more XP, faster income, less play time and more neighbors – all as simple as that. It was a blast and something that I didn’t expect in the least. Check out FishVille Secrets – you’ll thank me later.

A Quick Review of FishVille Secrets
Every now and then, I like to step back and take a look at a new game guide on the market that is catching a lot of attention. This time around, it’s called FishVille Secrets and it’s becoming one of the biggest and best new ways to reach the top levels of FishVille – Zynga’s mega-successful fish raising game that has been turning so many heads in recent weeks.
The game, which has been a mega hit from day one, revolves around growing fish in your aquarium and reselling them for a profit. You can deck out your tanks to look cool, get neighbors to drop by and leave notes or help with chores and try to get to the top Level of 50 where new and interesting things are unlocked.
The basics of the game are simple enough, but where it starts to get interesting is when you start trying to streamline your play to the point that you can play less and make more coins – effectively boosting your productivity in ways that you wouldn’t normally think to do in a video game.
That’s where FishVille Secrets comes in. For a beginner, the guide has a lot of good tips for how to get started and how to set up your account, but for everyone else, the real value lies in how the guide shows you what to do with your account to make it as efficient and productive as possible. By showing you how to build your tanks up, which fish to raise, how to raise them and how to integrate all of these strategies into a single day without spending hours online, FishVille Secrets is a sort of blueprint for anyone trying to get better at the little things.
If you’re one of those people, you owe it to yourself to check out this guide. It’s really amazing what it can do and for thousands of players already, it’s been a life saver when it comes to not being online 5 hours a day for no good reason.

With FishVille, it’s the Easy Road or the Hard Way
Ah, FishVille – the newest and some say most complex – addition to the world of Aquarium based Facebook gaming. I’ve been playing this game for a few days now and have been relatively impressed with it thus far. It seems like every time we get a new game from Zynga, they find a way to add another layer of depth to it without making it too hard or confusing. That’s a big plus in a genre that needs to keep people entertained without giving them headaches.
But, it’s also a big plus for me because I don’t have time to sift through strategies all day just to turn a game on. That said, I am finding that FishVille has quite a bit of little features that are not necessarily self explanatory. They work just fine if you don’t know what you’re doing, but they work oh so much better if you have a bit of extra info in your back pocket to bring to the table.
What am I talking about in particular? It’s this whole fish growth, feeding, and timing scale thing. It’s pretty hard to figure out a good schedule to max out your income – even if you do know what you’re supposed to be raising.
So, against most of the fibers of my normally sane Facebook gaming mind, I picked up a guide to help me out. It’s called FishVille Secrets and it’s become the big name guide on the market for the game. It’s by Tony Sanders (you may have heard of him – if not, he’s a big time writer of Facebook game guides), and it contains pretty much all those extra, high level strategies and tips that you would want for a game that can get a lot more complex if you let it.
In short, the guide is exactly what you’d want. It’s a good introduction to the game and it provides the detailed strategies that you need if you’re aiming to go above and beyond the basic, entry level style of play. If you’re serious about FishVille, you need to check this out.

So, I Found This Guide the Other Day
I’m not normally one to go around crowing about a strategy guide – especially for a game like FishVille – but I found this guide the other day for FishVille called FishVille Secrets and it’s been making my game play go oh so much better than I originally expected, so instead of sitting around playing and using these strategies for myself, I thought I’d give a quick review and let all my readers know what they can expect if they check out the guide too.
The FishVille Secrets Basics
To start with, the guide gives you a nice general overview of the game. It delves into a series of interesting asides and basic information that any new player would need. It shows you how to get involved with your neighbors, how to manage your coins and get Sand Dollars. It even offers some very sound tips on how to manage those Sand Dollars and get them with surveys (when Zynga brings those surveys back into the game that is).
So, it’s a pretty sweet introduction that can be super helpful when getting into a new game like this. But, it’s the info after that that really caught my eyes – the in-depth details that allowed me to see a lot more about what was happening.
The Good Stuff
When you get into the heavier content, you’ll notice that Tony digs way into this game and starts to show you how to do things that you may not have thought of otherwise. Ever wonder how to choose the right fish, time frame, and selling points for your tanks? Well, that’s covered in depth. Ever wonder how to expand and choose the right actions with a limited schedule? It’s all here.
This is a game that anyone can get involved in, but it takes a truly dedicated player to master it. That’s where FishVille Secrets is really going to shine – when you try to master the content. So, if you’re even remotely serious about playing this game like a pro, don’t mess around. Check out FishVille Secrets – it’s going to change everything.

How Many FishVille Guides Do You Think There Are?
I have been playing FishVille for the last few weeks now since it came out, and I was wondering yesterday how many guides there were out there for it. I don’t normally go for game guides – I like to think of myself as someone who can handle themselves in the depth of a game like this. But, the truth is that I haven’t been doing so well. I’m making like 400 coins a day at the most and my fish keep dying.
As a result, I’m getting rather frustrated. So, I went searching for a guide. It turns out there were not as many as I expected. But, I did find one guide, written by someone I vaguely remember hearing about before as the guy behind the super big FarmVille guide out there (which is awesome by the way), so I checked it out.
The guide is called FishVille Secrets and it’s written by Tony Sanders. The content itself is among the most concise and best written information I’ve seen yet for any game on Facebook (save Tony’s other guides which are all pretty good too), and it’s been able to help me in a half dozen ways that I didn’t even realize I needed help.
Let’s put it this way. I read FishVille Secrets yesterday morning and today I made 750 coins. That’s almost double what I was making before and I didn’t spend any extra time on the game or any extra energy doing anything. I just made a few key changes to how I was playing, moved some fish around, changed the times and sold them a little later. Voila, I was making some bigger cash.
It’s not necessarily going to happen like that for everyone, but I can bet that if you read this guide, you will find at least one thing you can do better – and it will show you how to fix it.

Mastering the Art of Feeding Your Fish in FishVille
Feeding Your Fish in FishVille
It certainly sounds like a simple task – feed your fish so they don't die. But as anyone who's ventured into this virtual aquatic world knows, feeding your fish in FishVille can often be a difficult thing to coordinate. There are several reasons for this, but the main thing you have to realize is that each type of fish grows at a different rate, and so has different needs when it comes to food. This dynamic is further complicated when you're trying to raise several different types of fish at once.
Recognize the Problem
Really, the most important thing you can do to address the difficulties surrounding proper feeding of your fish in FishVille is to recognize how complicated the process can be. Once you're aware of the potential difficulties, you'll be in a much better position to address them and can likely escape some of the major pitfalls.
Plan Ahead
If you're going to be able to keep your fish alive until they're ready to be sold for the greatest possible profit, you've got to stop and evaluate your options before you just go and buy one kind or the other. When examining the growth cycles of the fish you're thinking of purchasing too, it's important to be realistic about what you'll actually be able to do.
You already know that feeding your fish in FishVille is necessary if you want to be able to sell them once they're grown. But depending on how quickly each type of fish grows, it will need to be fed more or less often. For example, a fish that completes one growth stage in 4 hours will have to be fed within 8 hours or it will die. And if that happens, you'll get nothing for your investment except the single experience point you get for scooping a dead fish out of your tank.
Spread it Around
Getting back to your tank in time isn't the only thing you have to worry about though. Feeding your fish in FishVille properly also means that you need to make sure all of the fish who need the food get the food. This is especially important when you're raising several different types of fish in the same tank. Any time you sprinkle food into the tank, all of your fish will eat, so simply shaking in enough food for all your hungry fish won't cut it.
To be safe, it's best to dump in at least as many food flakes as you have fish in your tank. And even then, you need to go back and look at all of your fish again to make sure they've each been able to satisfy their hunger with each feeding.

The Facts About Sand Dollars in FishVille
Sand Dollars in FishVille
When you're first setting up your tank, you'll notice that you have the ability to accumulate both coins and Sand Dollars in FishVille. However, once you really start to play the game – buying and selling your fish and decking out your tank – you're really only dealing in coins. And that's a good thing too, because Sand Dollars are much harder to come by in the FishVille world than coins are. Because these Sand Dollars are so difficult to accumulate, it's important that you save them and spend them only when you have no other choice. But how do you know when that is?
Beware Frivolous Spending
There are a couple of ways you can spend your hard earned Sand Dollars in FishVille. One way is to purchase certain specialty decorations and plants from the store. While these decorations may be tempting, and will certainly award you a lot of experience points, they're not worth spending your Sand Dollars on unless you've managed to build up a substantial stash.
Expansion
The other main way to spend your Sand Dollars is to purchase additional tanks (when you don't have enough neighbors to do this with coins alone). While you could certainly save that valuable currency by simply sending out a few extra neighbor invitations, if you have the Sand Dollars to spend in a situation like this, it's not a bad deal.
Not Fast Enough
Unfortunately, unless you're willing to supplement your income of Sand Dollars in FishVille, you won't be able to rack them up fast enough to make them a truly viable option for sustained expansion. The most you can realistically hope for if you're trying to expand by relying on Sand Dollars alone is one extra tank. That's because you'll only be awarded one Sand Dollar in FishVille each time you move up a level (and not even at every level).
A Bit of Both
Really, the best strategy for using Sand Dollars to your greatest advantage in FishVille is to save them up until you have enough to buy an extra tank before you unlock it by leveling up. This won't be your first extra tank – you should still make sure you have enough neighbors to make your initial expansion move at level 10. But by saving up your Sand Dollars, you'll be able to get that third tank well before you unlock it with neighbors at level 20. By making use of both Sand Dollars and neighbors, then, you can maximize your ability to increase your FishVille business and advance quickly in the game.

Why Your FishVille Decorations Are Important
FishVille Decorations
When you first start playing FishVille, there are a lot of things to keep track of. You need to decide which fish to buy, make sure you'll be able to get back to feed them before they die, and recruit some neighbors. You also have to make sure you're visiting all your neighbors, managing your gifts, and generally keeping track of all of the elements of your little aquatic world.
When you're trying to get a handle on all of this, FishVille decorations can seem like the least important of the many aspects of life in FishVille. Sure, it might be fun to play around with some of these decorations sometime, but you've got more important things to worry about, right? If you really want to succeed in this game and get the most out of the experience that you can, you'd be wise to pay closer attention to your FishVille decorations. They'll wind up playing a much larger role in your overall success than you think.
Buying Experience
The main reason these decorative items are so important is that they actually give you experience points every time you buy one and place it in your tank. Since this was something you were going to do anyway, it's basically and experience bump for nothing. It's important to realize, though, that you only get this experience if you buy the item yourself. Relying on the gifts you receive from your friends for all of your FishVille decorations will save you some cash, but it won't allow you to rack up these bonus experience points.
Plan Ahead
Of course, you can't just go throwing money around either. The last thing you want to do is go out and spend all of your coins on decorations only to realize that you have none left to buy new fish with. That's why you should take a few moments when you first start playing the game to look through all of the FishVille decorations that are available in the store.
Having done this, you'll be in a much better position to determine which items are worth it to you to spend coins on and which ones you can do without. Keep in mind, too, that the higher the price of the item, the more experience points you'll get when you buy it. Saving up your coins until you reach a high enough level to unlock a really big ticket item will be well worth it in the end.

Maximizing Your Profits In FishVille
Profits In FishVille
When you're playing FishVille, there are a lot of ways to enjoy yourself. Even just watching the colorful fish you've raised and nurtured swim around can be a great reward for all the hard work you put into assembling your tank. You may not be in it for the money, and you might not even aspire to any form of aquatic domination. But even so, you'd be wise to pay attention to your profits in FishVille. Any time you sell a fish, you make more than you sold it for, but the size of that profit will vary considerably depending on the kinds of fish you wind up raising and when you decide to sell them.
Return On Investment
One way to make sure you're maximizing your profits in FishVille is to choose the fish you raise based on how much of a return you get on your initial investment when you sell them. This isn't always immediately obvious because, even though you may get a big chunk of change when you sell a particular fish, it may not actually be that much more than you paid for it to begin with.
In general, the higher the level that you need to achieve to unlock the fish, the greater the profits you'll get by selling it. This is not always the case, however, so it's important to evaluate the profitability of each fish as you unlock it and not simply assume that a new option is better than some of the others you've been using.
Earnings Per Hour
Another factor that you need to take into account when you're trying to increase your profits in FishVille is how much each fish will actually make you per hour that it spends in your tank. Again, it's important not to be fooled by fish that give you big chunks of coins when you finally sell them. If you're raising a type of fish that takes a long time to grow, you may actually be able to make more coins in the same amount of time by raising a fish that sells for less but that has a much quicker turn around time.
Time to Sell
But really, the most important way to make sure that you're maximizing your profits in FishVille is to wait until your fish are completely mature before you sell them. It can often be tempting to sell fish as soon as you can so that you can start raising new ones and because you want the coins now. But by waiting until your fish have reached their maximum value, you really cut down on the amount of profit you're able to collect from each one.

How to Know Which Fish to Raise in FishVille
Which Fish to Raise in FishVille
There are so many different options to consider when you're trying to decide which fish to raise in FishVille. And as you move up to new levels and unlock more and more different kinds of fish, those options only become more plentiful. Each fish has its own particular characteristics, and so you'll have to make different purchasing decisions based on a number of different factors as you progress through the game.
Lots of Coins
Of course, since your fish are your primary source of income in FishVille, you'll want to raise the ones that will sell for the highest number of coins. This analysis isn't quite as straightforward as it may seem to be initially, however. This is because a large ultimate sale cost doesn't necessarily mean that the particular type of fish is actually the most profitable. Your ultimate decision about which fish to raise in FishVille will have more to do with how many coins per hour each type of fish will bring in and how much of an actual return you're getting on your initial investment.
All About Experience
Money isn't everything, though. You also earn experience points for each fish that you sell, and that's another important thing to keep in mind when you're trying to decide which fish to raise in FishVille. In the same way that you can analyze the relative profitability of each fish in terms of coins per hour, you can also see how they measure up to each other when it comes to experience points granted per hour. This is a particularly important measure because it's the experience points, not the coins, that allow you to advance to new levels in FishVille and unlock new items, tanks, and fish.
Your Schedule
As important as all of these other measures and methods of analysis are, you ultimately will have to base your decision about which fish to raise in FishVille on how well each of their growth cycles fit into your own schedule. None of that careful planning and educated decision making will help you if you can't get back to feed your fish in time and they die. And since the amount of time your fish can go without food is directly related to the time it takes for that fish to complete each of its multiple growth cycles, you need to be sure and take this into account when you're making your fish selections.
Fishville
There are so many different options to consider when you're trying to decide which fish to raise in FishVille. And as you move up to new levels and unlock more and more different kinds of fish, those options only become more plentiful. Each fish has its own particular characteristics, and so you'll have to make different purchasing decisions based on a number of different factors as you progress through the game.
Lots of Coins
Of course, since your fish are your primary source of income in FishVille, you'll want to raise the ones that will sell for the highest number of coins. This analysis isn't quite as straightforward as it may seem to be initially, however. This is because a large ultimate sale cost doesn't necessarily mean that the particular type of fish is actually the most profitable.

How to Get the Most Neighbors in FishVille
Neighbors in FishVille
Even if you've just started playing FishVille, you're no doubt aware of how important it is to have a lot of neighbors. Your neighbors in FishVille can help you to succeed in quite a few different ways, and so any method that might have the potential to increase your neighbor total should not be overlooked. The more neighbors you have, the more gifts you'll receive, and the more tanks you'll be able to buy. You also shouldn't overlook the importance of visiting your neighbors every day to help them out with their tanks. This is a great way to earn some coins on the side, and the more neighbors in FishVille you have, the more you'll be able to earn this way.
Neighbor Sources
But where do you get all of these neighbors? Well, the best place to start is certainly your friend list. In fact, many of your friends may be playing the game already. To find out who these people might be, simply click on the Neighbors tab a the top of your screen and you'll be able to immediately send a neighbor request to any of your friends who have already set up their own tanks. This may be a lot of people, or it may not. Either way, though, it's a good place to start finding your neighbors in FishVille.
Recruitment
Of course, you probably have a lot of friends who aren't already playing the game. Another easy way to swell the ranks of your neighbors quickly is to invite all of these people to play with you and be your neighbor. And, yes, you should invite everyone – even the people you think may be the least likely to play. You'll often be surprised who the most enthusiastic players turn out to be, but you'll never know if you don't ask.
Forums
Once you've exhausted your friend list options for neighbors in FishVille, you don't have to give up the search. There are actually a ton of forums and fan pages you can visit to hook up with other players looking for more neighbors to help them expand their aquatic empire. You can find these forums and fan pages by clicking on the Forums link at the bottom of your FishVille screen, or by simply searching for FishVille withing whatever social networking site you're using to play the game. No matter how you find them though, these pages are a great resource to keep in mind – not only when you're looking for neighbors, but whenever you have a question or concern about any aspect of game play.

Why Your FishVille Neighbors Are the Key to Your Success
FishVille Neighbors
Since you're playing FishVille on a social networking site like Facebook, it seems only natural to have neighbors. You may even have wound up playing the game to begin with as the result of an invitation from one of your friends. And it can be a lot of fun to have this new way to interact with your friends and acquaintances in your own virtual aquatic world. But FishVille neighbors are not just a fun addition to the game. They can contribute greatly to your success, and the more you have, the more options for game play will be open to you. And as more updates are made to the game, the benefits that neighbors provide are only likely to increase.
Gifts
For one thing, more FishVille neighbors means more FishVille gifts – both to be given and received. There are quite a few items that you can only get if you're given them as gifts, so give them to your friends and ask your friends to send them back to you. Most of these gifts are free, so there's really no reason not to send as many as you can. Just remember though, that the more neighbors you have, the more gifts you'll be likely to get.
Side Jobs
Another reason having more FishVille neighbors will help you to succeed in the game is that when you visit your neighbors, you're able to earn some extra coins for helping them out with their tanks. You can only do this once a day, though, so the more neighbors you have, the more you can earn this way. You'll also get coins for cleaning the green goo off of the sides of their tanks, so make sure you don't pass up this opportunity to earn extra coins every day.
Affordable Expansion
And perhaps the most important reason it's helpful to have a lot of FishVille neighbors is that the number of neighbors you have will determine how many additional tanks you can buy with coins. If you don't have enough neighbors, you'll only be able to buy extra tanks and expand your aquatic empire if you have enough sand dollars to do so. Sand dollars are so much harder to come by than coins, though, that it'll be much easier for you to accomplish all of these things if you just bulk up the ranks of your neighbors a little. It'll wind up saving you a lot in the end.

The Best Ways to Earn FishVille Experience Points Quickly
FishVille Experience Points
When you're playing FishVille, you of course are trying to increase your coin stores quickly. But in order to unlock new options for game play and new items to buy, you have to rack up some serious FishVille experience points too. You will, of course, naturally do this as you go about your business in the game. But there are a few things you can do that will help you to build up these experience points more quickly when you're trying to focus on that.
Experienced Fish
Any time that you raise and sell a fish, it will give you some benefit in the form of FishVille experience points. The timing of your sale will have an impact on how many you get, though, so you should take this into account before you decide it's time to sell. Your fish will all go through several stages of growth, and as they reach each milestone, their value in terms of both coins and experience will increase. Simply waiting until your fish have fully matured will make it possible for you to get the most experience points possible for each sale.
Experience Over Time
When you're trying to max out your total FishVille experience points, it's also a good idea to take a look at the ratio for each particular fish in terms of experience points earned per hour. It's easy to be fooled when you see some of the big experience point totals you can get by selling a particular fish, but these fish with the big lump payouts are often not the best bets if you're trying to earn experience points quickly.
This is because they are often the fish that take the longest to grow as well. If that's the case, you can often get a lot more FishVille experience points in the same amount of time it would take you to raise one of these big-point fish by raising a bunch of shorter-cycle fish instead. These types of fish often don't pay out the big chunks of experience points at once, but since you can rotate them through your tanks so quickly, you wind up making more experience points more quickly than you would if you had just raised one set of the fish with the longer growth cycle.
Experience points might not seem as exciting or important as coins when you're first setting up your tanks in FishVille. After all, you can't buy anything interesting with them. They do, however, make it possible for you to explore a lot more options in the game, so it's a good idea to maximize your earnings potential for them whenever you can.

3 Quick FishVille Leveling Tips
FishVille Leveling Tips
Once you start playing FishVille by Zynga, you can see why there are so many reasons to want to level up quickly. The advanced opportunities for game play that you can unlock by reaching higher levels are quite exciting. But of course, as with any good thing, it gets harder to advance in the game the higher up you get. That's because the number of experience points you need to move up to the next level increases as you advance in the game. So, if you want to get to the next levels quickly, you'll have to employ some of these FishVille leveling tips in order to maximize your ability to earn experience points.
Experience Per Hour
One of the first FishVille leveling tips you should try and put to use is focusing on the amount of experience points each type of fish earns you per hour. The fish that are best for this are not always the same ones that make you the most coins per hour, so you may not have been making much use of them. Raising these fish may not get you the huge coins bonuses right away, but they will get you enough coins to keep your account growing. And they'll deliver the big chunks of experience you need to be able to move up in the game.
Purchasing Power
Another of these helpful FishVille leveling tips is to spend the extra cash you don't need for more eggs on decorations for your aquariums. Each decoration you purchase gives you an experience bonus as well as the benefit of just looking pretty. The size of the bonus is relative to the cost of the item, meaning that the higher priced items are worth more experience points as well. Of course, you should never buy decorations at the expense of buying fish. But if you have the extra cash, go ahead and put it to good use.
Expand Early
The last of our quick FishVille leveling tips involves the timing of your moves to expand your fish empire and buy new tanks. This should be done as soon as possible, simply because the more fish you're able to raise, the more experience points you'll be able to earn. Even if you can't afford to keep all of your tanks stocked with the best experience per hour fish, more total fish will wind up giving you a better bonus in the end.

The Best Cash Fish in FishVille
Fish in FishVille
There are so many options when you're trying to decide which fish to raise in your tanks in FishVille that it can be hard to even begin to figure out what the differences are and how they might be important. Of course, the level you're at will have a significant impact on the types of fish in FishVille that you'll be able to choose from, but there are a few factors you'll have to take into account when you're making your decision no matter what your options actually are. When the process is initially outlined, it can seem rather complicated. But once you understand why you're looking for what you're looking for, you'll begin to see that most of the time, your decisions will actually be pretty straight forward.
Investment Return
One of the easiest things to see about a fish in FishVille when you're trying to decide whether or not to buy it is what kind of a return on your investment it will give you. This can vary significantly from one type of fish to another in the game, but mostly it increases with the fish you unlock as you reach higher and higher levels of game play. There are exceptions to this rule, though, so don't get sucked into thinking that a new fish you've unlocked is automatically better than any of the other options you had in front of you before. Be sure to check each time so that you can be sure you're getting the biggest possible benefit out of your fish in FishVille.
Earnings Per Hour
While a straight analysis of the return you're getting on your investment is helpful, it's not the only way to evaluate the benefits of your options when you're trying to determine which one or another of the types of fish in FishVille you should be raising at any given point in time. It's also very helpful to look at the differences in the fish's rates of earnings per hour to see how quickly you'll be able to increase your coins and experience point totals.
Of course, going hand in hand with this type of analysis is the fact that you're going to have to get back to feed your fish before they die. That means that you can't pick a fish with a growth cycle that doesn't fit your schedule. All of these factors need to be taken into account, and it can get frustrating. But once you get the hang of it, you'll be making great fish decisions in no time.
