◘INFORMATION AND EXAMPLES◘
Here is what your Aquarium might look like. This is an example, so it won't be the same, all fish tanks are different. In your Aquarium, you start out with two eggs. One male (♂) and one female (♀). It will take the eggs a few days to hatch, so you must be patient. Once your eggs hatch, you can name them, and they will look like Fish3, the smallest fish in the tank. It will take them about a week to grow again, and once they do grow again, they will look like Fish2, the second to smallest fish in the tank. It will take about two more weeks for them to grow again, and when they fully mature they will look like Fish1, the largest fish in the tank. Once both are fully-grown and mature, they will have the option to breed, although this cannot be decided by you, they decide for themselves when to breed.
Now that you know how fish grow and work, lets go over the steps of understanding the box itself.
Name Tag
The name tag is in the upper left-hand corner, and this indicates who's Aquarium this belongs to. This is an example Aquarium, so it will not have a name, just "Example", but yours will.
Fish and their Status
In the upper right-hand corner, you will find a small box with the names of all your fish you currently own and their mood. These moods are referred to as a "status". The little face indicates how the fish are feeling. The green face indicates "Well", the yellow face indicates "Moderate", and the blue face indicates "Poor". Fish can sometimes be upset by certain changes or just be fighting a sickness. Either way, you can check in the news box for any updates on why your fish may be feeling moderate or poorly.
Aquarium Screen
Located in the middle of everything, the aquarium screen shows you a actual picture of your little fish. Next to the fish is a small gender symbol. A blue ♂ indicates that it is a male, and a pink ♀ indicates that it is a female. Sometimes special events can happen that show on the screen. Be on the look out for presents (:o), strangers (?), and exclamation points (!).
News Box
Right under the aquarium screen is the news box. This box alerts you when there are special updates, events, or surprises. It lets you know everything that went on or is currently going on in your tank. It usually exists of a message and a date. On the example aquarium, you can see that Fish1 just gave birth to a male egg on March 18, 2010. News boxes are usually updated every 42 hours or so.
Inventory Box
In the box in the bottom left-hand corner is your inventory. Here, anything you purchase and don't use gets stored here. If you have already used the item, it will not appear in the inventory box. Right next to the item is the quantity and the item's name.
Coin Count
Right next to the inventory box is the coin count box. This shows you how many coins you currently have. Please note that this number is subject to change every time you purchase something from the General Store or exchange currency at the Bank.
◘F.A.Q.◘
Q: Can my fish die?
A: Yes, at some point in your fishes' small life they will die, unless you feed them the Star of Eternal Health, which can be purchased at the General Store.
Q: Can my fish become ill?
A: Yes, your fish may become sick, but most sicknesses can be treated with a First Aid Kit which can be purchased at the General Store. Some sicknesses, however, can not be cured and will result with the death of your fish. Your fish will never become ill if you feed them the Star of Eternal Health, which can be purchased at the General Store as well.
Q: It's been more than a week and my fish haven't done anything new! What do I do?
A: Contact peachykeen as soon as you encounter the problem and she will do her best to fix it.
Q: I've purchased something at the General Store but it's not showing up in my inventory!
A: Cool your jets. It takes the picture 2-30 minutes to refresh. If it's longer than 2 days, contact peachykeen.
Q: All my fish are dead! What do I do now?
A: You can return your box back to the shop and get a new one by filling out the form, paying and waiting like you did when you first got the box.
Q: Oh no! There is a strange fish in my tank and it won't leave! What do I do!?!
A: Don't worry, most strangers are harmless and won't hurt your fish. He'll go away in a few days.
◘GUIDELINES◘
Guidelines are basically rules, but because I'm not a strict person I prefer to call them guidelines instead. Follow all of these and you won't be in any trouble.
1. Please be patient. These will take a while.
2. I'm not your slave, do not treat me as such.
3. Do not steal/edit/copy these in any way.
4. Taking these off of CS is fine, as long as you keep the link and credit me, peachykeen.
5. Don't think because you're my friend your gonna get any "whitelist" or "special treatment". I always see others getting favorited, when really the ones who actually work hard are treated like scum. Everyone is treated equally.
6. I can not guarantee a full refund, so purchase at your own risk.
7. Whiners aren't allowed.
8. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
