Making Happy Fish

[MustangDragon]

The Overseer gave me Lidless Demon Armor (Boots) today!

My aquarium health is at 15.99 and my fish range between xxxx12 and xxxx32. (The 12 is a newer goldfish.) I have 8 fish in the tank... 2 arrow fish, 1 sharktooth, 1 spikey and the rest goldfish.

I feed three or four times a day, and always click twice each time I feed. I keep the temp. at chilly, which suits all the types of fish I have, and the light on natural. Song is the Conch song.

I did go through a few days of nothing from the Overseer, but I think most of us did while Gaia was down or just having problems.

I won't get an octopus, because their settings do not agree with the other fish I have.

Due to the almost same fish stats this lead me to this assumption, You get better items for you fish tanks overall health. So to get the best item you need the best health you can get. Which would lead me to say get more items to decorate your tank but do the normal for the fish and you should increase rather rapidly.

Bamboo as well seems to help overall tank health a lot. I'm hearing that all around and observing that in my own tanks.

I just recieved Leviathans Chest with health at 11.59 fish stats all +4 from the other day.

How long does it take to get the to quit wanting to die?

[killer519]

I'm not sure i know at 11% it still says they want to die. I'm thinking about 25% it will change.

I don't know if this will be helpful, but I found some information on the Starfish and Cuttlefish. Cuttlefish starter happiness is 1000, Starfish is 20000; Cuttlefish only likes Natural light, Starfish likes both; Cuttlefish likes Chilly and Moderate temperatures, while Starfish can go through any of them.

redface I hope I can help someone, and I hope I'm not really wrong with these...

I did a little trial and error with my Cuttlefish. It seems that it likes when the music is set to The Conch Song, and it doesn't like Kelp! too much. I think I'll see what other music suits it a little later.

How long does it take for your fish's happiness to drop if you're doing something they don't like? Also, is there usually a delay for their happiness to show when you put them in the tank?

When i put my cuttlefish in, its happiness didn't show until i played with the temperature. I put it to Moderate, which one of my fish doesn't like, and he got happy and started eating. When i turned it back down to Chilly, he still ate and had a little heart next to his head after the change.

i'm confused sweatdrop

Light- Natural
Music- O' Lighthouse
Temperature- Moderate

That's what my tank is set for and my Cuttlefish as well as my Goldfish and Arrowfish all love it smile

But I am confused as to one main thing here.. Why is it that even though I am feeding all my fish and adding new things into my aquarium, why won't anything change.. It hasn't changed since I put my Cuttlefish in there yesterday and my Overseer won't open O.o... Is it bugged or something? (Note I haven't changed those settings from what they are at now since like three days ago and for two days everything was fine)

Does anyone know why I am having this problem with my tank? :'(

*wave* Alrighty, so... I didn't change anything in my tank but had some major boosts today. Everything increased higher than normal, and the fish no longer want to die. At 20.11%, the new status is "Deprived of basic care and attention, your aquarium has deteriorated into a prison where only the strong and cruel survive." Very happy fish (all requirements met) jumped 12 points, as opposed to the usual 4. I don't know if this is due the new status or if Gaia changed some settings to make happiness increase faster. Even the jump in overall tank happiness was more than usual (16.99 to 20.11 in one day). My guess is that Gaia changed the settings - thought I'd leave a report/update either way since this at least answers the question of when the fish no longer want to die.

Thank you from everyone for the reports. I've been out of town this weekend, but I'm working on updating everything now, including the information on the two new fish. I have a cuddlefish myself and will be experimenting with him.

Could someone with the Starfish let me know what music they like? Thanks.
