Fishville Tips, Hints and Strategy Guide

Objective: Raise and sell your fish to gain coins and experience.

First and foremost, you'll have to download the FishVille app to your Facebook account. Just search for "Fishville" and you'll find the fan club, where you can download the app.

Step 1: Buy Your Fish
When starting, you can buy a fish (well, actually fish eggs) by clicking on the "store" button and choosing which fish you want. At the beginning, you're limited to 15 total fish. As you gain experience and coins, you can purchase bigger fish and more tanks. After you buy the fish, you can click anywhere in your tank to place them - just remember to feed them so they'll grow and stay happy.

Step 2: Sell Your Fish
As you hover over each fish, you'll see a growth meter that lets you know when it's good to sell your fish. This is the best and easiest way to earn coins and experience. Watch your fish closely - after they reach full adult stage, it's a good time to sell them - you'll get the most coins and XP. And, if you wait too long, they could die.

Step 3: Give (And Receive) Gifts
Create a beautiful aquarium by giving and receiving gifts from your Facebook friends - you'll find lots of things: aquarium decorations, toys, plants and more. Do this by visiting the "Free Gifts" tab above your fish tank.

Step 4: Love Your Neighbors
By adding neighbors in Fishville, you'll be allowed to help them out when needed. If their tanks are too hot or too cold, you can visit their tank and fix the problem. When you do, you'll earn XP that will unlock brand-new fish and decorations.

This gives you a very brief guide on how to get started in FishVille. Check back often for the latest hints, tips and strategies.
