I can't find the Happiness info for the Killer Whales.

Anyone know what their preferences are ??

Far as I know, Killer Whale preferences are:

Light: Natural or Black (any)
Music: Seashell Shock, Ballad of the Overseer, Reef Riff
Temp: Moderate, Chilly, Freezing


Awesome !! Thanks for the info.

i have had my dark knight fish for ten days
and although i have it set on moderate and natural light with o'lighthouse, the fish will not rise above 3000 out of 30000 i'm about to give him to Bartlett and be done with it, he's almost as bad as a cuttle.

That's curious. Supposedly, with two out of three preferences met (Dark Knights don't like natural light) they should be increasing by 16. I should re-test them. I know they like moderate temps (had some - with 3 prefs met they increased by 32), so maybe they don't like O'Lighthouse anymore. Or maybe they're just being weird. Do they show hearts when you feed them?

As for the death dates in the glow finder, they may not be reliable. That goldfish of mine got another month added to it's lifespan today - it's now saying late July, 2010. Figuring this out is going to require some tracking & testing I think. Most of my fish are scheduled to die as expected, but the tank with the immortal goldfish is varying quite dramatically from what's expected. Most of the fish have had an extra 4 weeks or so added to their lives, and they only spent an hour or so in Barrett's tank. Meanwhile, the Party Ball, which spent 12 days in there, got it's lifespan extended by 12 days as expected. Something very strange is going on.


ok back to this topic...he is at 3400 now which in my opinion is garbage. . he's a grumpy ol poop but he drops hermit cats so i guess i'll keep him. also. is it true now that if you put fish into bartlets tank it suspends them and they don't die? that's what someone told me. was there an update i didn't read somewhere?

Does anybody have any idea at all what the Sea Angel likes? I've checked several threads and most of them don't list it at all. I don't much mind if there's nothing concrete - I'd just like some kind of an idea, if anyone has one.

Contessa - It's true. They've changed Barrett's tank. Your fish won't age while they're in there.


Seven Dials - Sadly, I haven't found out much about Sea Angels yet. All I know is the bare minimum - that they live 17 weeks and drop green and gold coins. I've no idea what settings they prefer.

I do fish. I fished just fine before the scoopers. I don't know what they do, as I haven't seen a difference.

It may be vestigial, like the bug catching nets. Apparently, once upon a time you needed those, but not anymore. Anyone can catch bugs, and a "net" magically appears when you do whether you have one or not.

If you mean the goldfish scooper, it's just a decorative hand-held item for avatars; no relation to the fish tanks.

Otherwise, I'm not entirely certain which item you mean.

You know, now that I've checked it out, I'm totally clueless. I thought there was a fish scooper for sale at the fishing store, but they only have the bug catching net. The other scoopers are simple handheld items, and should show up in your inventory no problem. If they aren't showing up it must be a glitch or something.

But as the Doctor said, they have no relationship with aquariums. They're just avatar items.
