I guess I'm confused... My fish all seem to be as happy as they can be, yet my tank health is only at 5%?

Tank health increases slowly over time. If your fish are happy, it will take about 3 months for it to get to 100% if you feed them once a day.

Does anyone know the new dolphin preferences?
Or any of the third strike monsters?

Great thread, I like to keep my fishies happy, I always check here first. heart

[gotchi101]

Sorry to bug you or anything but I just bought the Aquarium Holiday 2009 Bundle. It includes some lights, Reindeer Fish, Gingerbread Fish and a Christmas tree. Do you have anything to help me maintain happy fish. (Also I have 2 Goldfish). Please help.

Great thread, I like to keep my fishies happy, I always check here first. heart

Dolphin Preferences:
Light: Natural
Music: Conch Song, O'Lighthouse, Ballad of the Overseer, Reef Riff!
Temp: Boiling, Hot, Moderate

A lot of the 3rd strike mini-monsters seem to have the same preferences.
Light: Natural, Black
Music: Conch Song, Seashell Shock, Reef Riff!, Kelp
Temp: Hot, Moderate, Chilly, Freezing

Note I haven't tested any of these myself yet, so these preferences are just rumors I've gathered elsewhere. As for the two new fish gotchi101 (Reindeer & Gingerbread), I haven't seen anything about them yet, so I've no idea what they prefer. Sorry about that.

[gotchi101]

Ok, thanks Keiko Dreams
