What's your high score in challenge mode? Mine is 91000.

The key is to get as many upgrades early as you possibly can. Meaning, get the better food, more food upgrades early as well as multiple carnivores/star catchers. As the games goes on you won't be able to afford these so it is best to get them early and benefit from them later.

What I do is beef up my food (not better food, just more) and weapons. Then when enemy's attack, I pay more attention to keeping them away from my big, blue fish or carivores.

I had a high score of 95000 in challenge tank 1, but that seems to have been a fluke! I can't get anywhere close to that now.

I hate that in the end the fishes' propensity for food and the how fast they die (after they realize they're hungry) gets so bad it seems impossible to keep them alive. When my fish seem to start dying spontaneously I know it's "end of game".

I hated the food alien too, but I took to 'guiding' him by dropping all the food (get x5 or so, so you can drop lots of it) on the side I wanted him to go.

Great game!

I purchased the egg in both tanks and have finished the quest. I also have the top score in both of the time trial tanks and have completed the quest.

I have the process for unlocking the elephant, but we have a contest on the site so I can't give it away.

I will tell you that you must first complete the entire quest. Then you have to go through a very difficult process...

I have the "big B" now ... but he seems to be a bit of a letdown.

As a pet, he appears to only eat food and release random elements (sometimes silver coins, sometimes gold coins, sometimes stars).

My fish "seemed" to turn blue faster with him in the tank, but that may be wishful thinking.

What benefit is Brinkly supposed to have?

Do you guys think the game is worth the buy? Or should I just live with the trial version?

It's one of the most enjoyable games on my PDA. Play it on PopCap's site (http://www.popcap.com) and see if the additional pets make it worth the purchase for you.

It was worth the money for me, but opinions vary.

What do the carnivores do? When I buy them they just die right away.:confused:

They eat the babies.

They eat the babies. My advice is to buy tons of babies and tons of carnavores. (of course when you have a lot of money.) There will be so many diamonds falling you won't know what to do! :)

Quick way to get diamonds ($200) without having to wait for the blue fish.

Regular fish drop silver coins, then gold coins which are worth much less ($35 for a gold).

As soon as you can get carnivores, you can stop worrying about trying to make your other small fish get big because carnivores drop much more than grown big fish ever will

in the challenge mode there is a point when baby fish cost more than the diamonds. So after a while you have to let the carnivores die or you lose money with them.
