Fish Isle Strategy

Fish Isle Strategy

Fish Isle iconChoosing fish that are highly profitable – You should focus on hatching fish that are most profitable. Please see our chart to help you with that. Hatching fish that will bring in more money will help you with the building of your coins. Some fish bring in a lot of money, but by the time you subtract the cost of the fish, the price of the net, and how long it takes to grow, you may find that it really doesn’t bring in a lot of money.

Fish Isle iconChoosing fish that fit your schedule – Keep in mind that all fish will not fit your schedule. If you hatch fish that are ready to catch in 2 hours, you need to make sure you can catch them in 2 hours. If not, they will go to waste. If you can’t access the computer for a day, hatch two day fish. So, keep your schedule in mind when deciding which fish you should hatch.

Fish Isle iconExpanding your Fish Isle land – When you build up enough money, expand your island. Doing expansions will provide you with more room to cast more nets and hatch more fish.

Fish Isle iconVisit your Fish Isle neighbors often – There is no set limit on how many times you can help a neighbor out. If you visit a neighbor 20 times in one day, you will get credit for that. You will earn 5 XP points and 20 coins every time you help a neighbor. If you have a lot of neighbors and time, you can really rake in the coins and XP points.

Fish Isle iconSending gifts to friends – Be nice and send your friends’ gifts. This will help your friends’ out and they will help you out. Gifts will quickly help you build up your island. If you become overloaded with gifts, sell them. You can sell your gifts and earn coins for them. The amount of coins will differ for each gift.
