Starting out:Everyone gets their own aquarium, two goldfish, one arrow fish, and the Overseer, a treasure-granting clam.

If this guide has been helpfull to you give it the thumbs up.
I would like to have it on the front page.

More to be added please help add Information... You may also PM me.

Any aquarium donations would be appriciated as I am trying to perfect my guide to show all fish and situations. I am currently questing for dragon, octopii, sharktooth fish, and the streamer fish.

1.) Click the my gaia tab then click aquarium.




2.)There will be a popup on the left of your screen. Click the drop down menu called Aquarium inventory.


3.Click on the Fish/ creatures tab. Left click the creature you want in your aquarium and drag them onto the tank. *NOTE* You may preview fish before saving that way you can see them move if you don't like it don't save and you can still sell them.

5.) Same goes for the terrain. Click the corresponding tab and drag the terrain of your choice.

6.) Now, Go to the decorations tab. This is where you add your overseer and other decorations. Drag them into your aquarium. Place them where you would like.

7.) After you have everything set don't forget to save using the save button. Make sure you want to care for those fish before saving they can't be resold after you save!


8.) Click on the inventory and click food. Click on it then click the box of loam flakes to feed your fish.

9.) Click any empty space on your tank to play with your fish. They will follow you.

Checking on your fish
To check how happy your fish are simply hover over the fish. To check overall tank health click the heart located in the upper right corner of the tank. (see image of my tank)


Going on a vacation?

Need someone to take care of your fish? Or you have some fish that don't like the same things? Let Barrett take care of them for you! Just select the fish you wish to have looked after and click remove from tank. That will allow it to be sent to his tank where it will be taken care of.

Add your tank to your signature
To add your tank to your profile simply click the gear (the button to the far right upper corner of your tank) and check the box that says add to my signature.

The Daily Chance now includes a number of aquarium prizes not available in stores..Some other common places to find aquarium items are the games and new aquarium shop.



Item Granters
Overseer- Everyone gets one free when they start Gaia aquariums.

Quote:

About the overseer Thanks to old geeza- "It will be more routine once it's been out for a full day, but generally it will be like Daily Chance, where it grants once per day. Look for the pearl-like glow in the clam.

How to make the Overseer happy so it grants better items is part of what makes it mysterious. I'm sure other users will have lots to report on this forum after it's been out for longer. biggrin

Thanks,
old_geeza"

Most of this information has been gathered by Namara and her Fish happyness guide. Also thanks to Neko-Chan666, Im as lonely as the Moon,kairisblackstar,Firiona,[Avo],Dart Feild, Audlin,Redimus Prime XI

Sofar I have gathered one thing- The arrowfish prefer natural lighting. Goldfish don't mind so much about what lighting they are in and they both like medum temperature water.

Quote:

I've done some experimenting with my Spikey fish. Although at this point I can't seem to keep the increases I make to the bar once I navigate away from the aquarium for some reason, I can see the increases it gives.

Spikey isn't picky about the lighting, but he hates freezing water though he's ok with every other temperature. He likes the Conch Song, Ballad of the Overseer, and Kelp!, but he doesn't like the others. So far the decorations don't affect his happiness any.

Feel free to use that info. He's the fishy I'm focusing on.

Quote:

Something I noticed is that my Arro Fish & Gold Fish both like chilly water.
For the music to be changed every once in a while.

FAQ


Q: Eww, I thought this fish would look cute but now that I see it move I don't like it. What do I do?
A: If you add a creature to your tank make sure you like it and want to care for it BEFORE clicking save. If you don't click save it will not be born into your tank and you may resell it.
Simple eh? That way you can preview various fish before having them stuck in your tank.

Q:My item has dissapeared! How do I get it back?
A:Check your aquarium inventory. If the item is NOT greyed out then simply click and drag it back in. If your item IS greyed out and you have removed everything clicked everywhere to find an X . Then, it is a glitch that the developers are working on. It means it is in your tank with no x,y cordinates so you can't see it but, cant remove it. Go to the aquarium forum located in Gaia Community Discussion and post in pannagrammic's sticky. He will help you.

Q:Will tapping the glass or having other people tap the glass increase my fish's happiness?
A: No, tapping the aquarium does NOT increase your fish's happiness. Octopii hate it.
-Thanks to jord22

Q:My overseer gives me more than one prize am I exploiting a glitch?
A:No, the developers have recently said they upped the overseer prize to make up for the server problems.

Q:I have a question, how do you get the Aquarium health up? This question has been asked NUMEROUS times without an awnser so I would like one. Is it like you have to change the decor or something?
A: Just keep the aquarium the right setting for your fish's liking, feed your fish at least once daily, play with them and it will go up over time. Be patient.

Q: WTF mate! My fish went belly up what is happening? Are they dead?
A: Alot of people are complaining of this. It is most likely a glitch as when your fish die barrett will announce the passing of your fish and you will have to remove them. Just check your signature tank or dump your temporary internet files and reload.

Q: How do I kill my fish? twisted
A: Do not feed them and boil your water. (You evil person you)

Q: If I don't use fish will they go bad?
A: The fish will stay the same age from when you get them until you put them in the tank. If you leave them in inventory and never put them in the aquarium, you can keep them as long as you like.

Q: Why can't I trade my fish? crying It says frozen...
A: Fish can be frozen (meaning you can use the but can't trade/sell them) for three reasons:
Starter fish: otherwise the marketplace would be flooded with fish granted from people creating a bunch of mules (since everyone gets a tank for free), and these fish wouldn't have any value
Used fish: once you put fish in a tank, they start aging. It would really be bad if someone bought a fish that was old, so fish are only trade-able before they are put in the tank.
New PayPal account: to limit fraud, items purchased with new PayPal accounts are temporarily frozen until we can verify the authenticity of the payment.

Q: Do aquarium objects get frozen too?
A: Also, almost all objects and accessories remain unfrozen even after they go in your tank. You can buy a background, use it and then decide to un-equip it and sell it later, for example, since it doesn't age so a used background is as good as a new background.

Thankyou very much ^_^

[Deviant Designer]

I am so irate.. Here's another little tidbit they failed to tell us: if you put ALL your fish in, you're screwed for putting them back into your inventory. Soo.. when my three die (two on the same day) I will have nothing. As opposed to an INFORMED stocking of my aquarium, wherein I would have placed ONE fish, waited till it died and then put in ANOTHER fish, etc.

[Siouxicide]

How do I get the food to work? When I click on food the Loamflakes are blacked out and I can't click on them.

[0_Sexy Lexy_0]

You can click on it and it will still feed them. Make sure you feed them after you save .... you may need to exit that part of the site and come back for it to load but your fish will have hearts when you feed them that is how you will know.
