It's easy to get started playing Fishville. Take a few minutes to read through this Fishville Strategy guide - it gives you all the info you need to start purchasing fish, including their cost and which to buy based on how much time you can devote to the game. 

Give your fish a place to live – As soon as you download the app and sign up for Fishville, you'll need to create somewhere for your fish to live. The game will create it for you - all you need to do is click one button and you're ready to play!

Buying and selling – You'll be given 2-3 fish to start off. In order to buy more fish, you'll need to sell these. Simply click on the sell tool and find a "junior" fish to sell. You'll earn coins from this which can be used to buy fish eggs. Just click on the "Store" and find the fish eggs you want, then drop them in your tank by clicking inside it. They'll eventually grow into full-size fish - the larger they get, the more coins you'll get by selling them.

Don't forget the food – In order for your fish to grow big and healthy, you'll need to feed them throughout the day. If you don't, they may die. To feed them, click on the "Feed Tool" and click the tank to feed the fish. The more well-fed and healthy your fish are, the more Fishville coins you'll get.

Everyone loves a little affection - to keep your fish happier, click "Give Fish Love" throughout the day. Again, the happier your fish, the more coins you'll get.

Love your neighbors - Adding your Facebook friends as neighbors is another way to get coins. Click on the "Invite Friends" tab to see which of your friends aren't playing. As you visit them and help them out with problems such as maintaining water temperature and cleaning their tanks, you'll gain Fishville coins and experience.

Have some fun - After you've accumulated coins, you can do many things with them. Decorate your tank by purchasing plants and decor. You can even add more tanks to your collection and expand your Fishville game. The more tanks you add (while still maintaining them), the more coins and experience you'll get.
