Mastering the Art of Feeding Your Fish in FishVille

Feeding Your Fish in FishVille

It certainly sounds like a simple task – feed your fish so they don't die. But as anyone who's ventured into this virtual aquatic world knows, feeding your fish in FishVille can often be a difficult thing to coordinate. There are several reasons for this, but the main thing you have to realize is that each type of fish grows at a different rate, and so has different needs when it comes to food. This dynamic is further complicated when you're trying to raise several different types of fish at once.

Recognize the Problem

Really, the most important thing you can do to address the difficulties surrounding proper feeding of your fish in FishVille is to recognize how complicated the process can be. Once you're aware of the potential difficulties, you'll be in a much better position to address them and can likely escape some of the major pitfalls.

Plan Ahead

If you're going to be able to keep your fish alive until they're ready to be sold for the greatest possible profit, you've got to stop and evaluate your options before you just go and buy one kind or the other. When examining the growth cycles of the fish you're thinking of purchasing too, it's important to be realistic about what you'll actually be able to do.

You already know that feeding your fish in FishVille is necessary if you want to be able to sell them once they're grown. But depending on how quickly each type of fish grows, it will need to be fed more or less often. For example, a fish that completes one growth stage in 4 hours will have to be fed within 8 hours or it will die. And if that happens, you'll get nothing for your investment except the single experience point you get for scooping a dead fish out of your tank.

Spread it Around

Getting back to your tank in time isn't the only thing you have to worry about though. Feeding your fish in FishVille properly also means that you need to make sure all of the fish who need the food get the food. This is especially important when you're raising several different types of fish in the same tank. Any time you sprinkle food into the tank, all of your fish will eat, so simply shaking in enough food for all your hungry fish won't cut it.

To be safe, it's best to dump in at least as many food flakes as you have fish in your tank. And even then, you need to go back and look at all of your fish again to make sure they've each been able to satisfy their hunger with each feeding.
