Thank you Mitzar.
It does seem like stuff like that is a moving target. Perhaps Gaia intends it to keep things new and exciting but I find it rather frustrating.

How / where do you tell what version we are on?

I'd like to know what version we're on too.

I've read this entire thread and I've learned a bit from it but some of it has only served to confuse me. LOL!

I have done some "testing" and it appears that you need to be logged back in 24 hours after you log out last or otherwise the fish stop glowing, what they do at the 24 hour mark is if the analyzer says fish are going to glow they will glow and people are able to grab them, but after that glow is over, they won't glow again until you log onto that account, you don't even need to access your tank and the glow cycle starts again.


That is interesting. Have you tested it far enough to know they stop glowing completely? Perhaps you just miss the next glow and then it glows less often.

The reason I suggest this is I know someone with some mules who says they have not touched in months but they still glow. Now, that person did not tell me they don't log in to those mules so that does not invalidate what you are saying.

I kind of wish Gaia would say what the 'rules' are instead of making it so you just have to figure everything out. Especially since they also change things without saying and then you have to figure it out again.
Yes, they stop glowing completely, I was using the Aquarium Analyzer made by Absol to watch what happened when I hadn't logged on in over 24 hours. The site said that there would be a glow, and it happened, but after that none of my fish would glow, I watched the analyzer for quite some time after that and none of the fish were going to glow, so hence my conclusion, you need to log on at least once every 24 hours

Solnya -
Thank you for this information.
This and the whole 'ghost' fish' issue has kind of changed my perspective on what is required. I log in and feed daily but when some of my mule fish reach end of life I may stop going to the tank and feeding just to see what happens.

I think I read some place that if you don't log on / feed the fish stop glowing but I can only give it to you as rumor not fact. Someone else may be able to do better.

Were you moving fish out of the freezer at all?
I do notice that fish brought out of the freezer (at least my dolphins anyway) appear to miss one glow before they are back on their usually schedule. A whole tank full of dolphins will say none of them are going to glow. Kind of weirded me out the first time I saw it.


That's strange because I have a tank full of Dolphins, but if I take one out of the tank and put one back that was in the freezer, the one I took out of the freezer is the only one that misses a glow. Maybe it's not consistant. I don't know.

Part of it seems to be how long it (they) have been in the freezer. I notice if you put one in the freezer and take the same one back out right away it will often still say it is going to glow. I'm not positive.
