********* SPOILER ALERT!! DONT READ IF YOU WANT TO FIND ON YOUR OWN!! *************

Here's what I've come up with. I've been keepin track on paper.

Greenfin Carp + Flagged Stickfish = Great Sail Grouper
Speckled Fatfish + Greenfin Carp = Razorback Flashfish
Greenfin Carp + Golden Goldbulb = Stubby Stickfish
Great Sail Grouper + Razorback Fatfish = Greenfin Comet
Greenfin Comet + Razorback Fatfish = Razorback Goldbulb
Greenfin Carp + Greenfin Comet = Greenfin Grouper
Razorback Goldbulb + Greenfin Carp = Razorback Stickfish
Greenfin Grouper + Greenfin Carp = Greenfin Leaffish
Wasp Fatfish + Greenfin Carp = Crimson Flashfish

I bred a "Crimson Fire-Arrow". Sells like Ice Cream on a hot summer day at $70 ea.

Spined Goldshark + Crimson Flashfish = Crimson Fire-Arrow

This is a complete, concise account of all possible breeding combinations in the game. There are 21 possible fins and 21 possible body types. They are:

FINS
1. Twin-fin
2. Finless
3. Flagged
4. Great-Sail
5. Greenfin
6. Razorback
7. Speckled
8. Stubby
9. Spined
10. Crimson
11. Golden
12. Oriental
13. Orange
14. Canary
15. Wasp
16. Snubbed
17. Pink
18. Fanned
19. Hornet
20. Tiger
21. Silky

BODIES
1. Spontanus
2. Quicksilver
3. Bananafish
4. Pigmy
5. Beta
6. Carp
7. Leaffish
8. Grouper
9. Stickfish
10. Comet
11. Goldbulb
12. Flashfish
13. Fruitfish
14. Fire-Arrow
15. Goldshark
16. Snooper
17. Fatfish
18. Snout
19. Arrowfish
20. Catfish
21. Shark

What I've noticed in playing the game (at least on the 'easy' setting) is that there is actually a hierarchy of fins and bodies; the order I've listed them in is not random. The fins and bodies breed independently of each other, and these lists can be used to easily determine the outcome of any breeding. Here's what you do, by way of example:

What do you get when you breed an Oriental Snooper with a Tiger Pigmy?

For the fin, look at the Oriental and the Tiger in the list, and go halfway between them to get a Snubbed. Do the same thing with Snooper and Pigmy to get the body Comet. So Oriental Snooper + Tiger Pigmy = Snubbed Comet.

For the mathematically inclined, this is:
Oriental + Tiger = (12 + 20)/2 = 16 = Snubbed
Snooper + Pygmy = (16 + 4)/2 = 10 = Comet

When this method puts you halfway in-between two fish in the list, round the number up. i.e.
Snooper + Beta = (16 + 5)/2 = 10.5 --> 11 = Goldbulb



Consequences of this setup:

1. There are four fish which cannot be bred from different fish. These are the Twin-fin Spontanus, Silky Spontanus, Twin-fin Shark, and Silky Shark. In order to find all the fish in the game, you will need to get these four fish directly from eggs. Moreover, starting with these four fish it is possible to breed all other fish in the game. Luckily, the game considers these to be "common" fish, and they eventually will be born from the common eggs.

2. As far as breeding combinations go, the #1 rarest fish in the game is the Twin-fin Spontanus, as the only way to breed it is to breed two other Twin-fin Spontanuses. The Twin-fin shark and the Silky Spontanus are the second rarest fish, and the Silky Shark is the third. The most common fish is the Golden Goldbulb (meaning, this is the result of the most breeding combinations).

3. The Quicksilver, Catfish, Finless, and Tiger don't seem to arise from common eggs, so it is arguable that these require the most breeding to achieve (possibly among others).

4. After doing a little math, you can actually calculate how many ways there are to breed a certain fish. For example, the "Ultra-Rare" Canary Fire-Arrow arises from 14 combinations to get Fire-Arrow (not including combinations employing the Fire-Arrow itself--there are two of those), and 14 combinations to get the Canary part (again, not including the 2 combinations which use the Canary itself). So, there are 14*14 = 196 different ways to breed the Canary Fire-Arrow.....not very "Ultra-Rare" if you ask me.

5. The formula for calculating the above is this: if n is the number of the fish (i.e. for Fire-Arrow, n=14), then there are 2n-1 unique combinations for n less than 12, and 44-2n for 12 and up. For all but the Twin-fin and the Spontanus, this number includes two combinations which use the fish itself (for the Twin-fin and the Spontanus, there is only one way to breed, i.e. Twin-fin+Twin-fin=Twin-fin). Using these formulae, we see that there are 21*21= 441 different ways to breed the Golden Goldbulb, the most common fish (as far as breeding goes). There are 53,361 different breeding combinations in the game, so breeding random fish at random will give a Golden Goldbulb about 0.8% of the time.


I haven't played on any setting other than 'easy', so I have no idea if this all still holds.

I hope this helps a lot of people!!

I've just made a "silky catfish"
Hornet Arrowfish + Wasp Shark = Silky Catfish.

They're kind of funny lookin lol.

xAtlas

1- Hornet Goldbulb + Hornet Goldshark = Hornet Fruitfish

2- Hornet Fruitfish + Golden Bananafish = Wasp Grouper (magical fish)

Note: Wasp Grouper is selling real good at $175 ea.

xAtlas

Oriental Goldbulb + Wasp Fatfish = Canary Fire-Arrow ($221 ea)

Note: The $221 is what it's price at by the game. I have not up'd the price. I will and post here what it sells for.

EDIT: Ok. I've got them selling really good at $300 ea.


EDIT2: I was playing on Medium - fyi

xAtlas

Canary Fire-Arrow I've got selling steadly at $475 ea. Anything higher, they dont sell.. To sell them good at that price, you have to sell 21 at a time.

tami4paul

Hey guys, was just wondering if anybody can tell me where to get the crack for fish tycoon, love the game but dont have a credi card.
Thanks

justascot

While you have the store open and you click on the big poster on the back wall, it's mentioned that some fish are worth more than $300.00. Has anyone seen that? I have all of the trophy fish and have discovered 267 species (though there are over 400, ugh). But I as wondering if anyone has bred that fish that can sell for over $300.00?

Saga

I'm just hopeless. After trying and searching the net, I need HELP:

Does anyone have an idea, how I can create the fin type "twin-fin" and the body type "spotanus" (seperately)?


Thank you for these wonderful breeding lists so far. Greetings

LanMan

You can't create a Spotanus, with the exception by mating two of them, you can only buy them. I also don't believe that you can create a twin-fin.

Here is a little fish calculator I created using the list and formula provided in the first post of this thread. Below is a screenshot of the calculator.

Hope this helps

kas1998

you would be correct. you have to buy the first two spotanuses then you can breed them.same with any twin fin,but it doesnt have to be the same body.

kas1998

has this been of any help,or does it need more info?

xAtlas

This is what you use to get the Oriental Goldbulb. Not sure about the other one. BTW, for those that want a fishsavedgame1.pts, you can download it from here: http://files.filefront.com/FishSave...;/fileinfo.html.

thx it helped a lot i have the first 4 magic fish now
