Fishdom Wiki

Me and my husband play every night, for years! I see a lot of people kinda stuck on tanks, so I’m a nice person and figured I’d leave some valuable information. First of all, you only need to put in just enough coins for 3 stars per tank! After you get the 3 stars, go to next tank, and so on. Also, I purchase all the fish that my tank will hold before decorating simply bc you feed them fish daily and get coins. Then I save my coins and purchase the highest decoration available. You can also go back in the decorations and use any decoration that’s unlocked. This is helpful in purchasing the most expensive decoration so your tank isn’t so cluddered with meaningless junk. Additionally you can pile any amount of the same expensive decoration together so it’s not cluddered as well. As far as money, you don’t have to spend to pass levels. I have over 100 of each booster, and I use my diamonds for the hammers, gloves, and torpedos. You can purchase diamonds tho. Look at it like this, don’t you purchase things in everyday life to make you happy? This is no different. It’s a choice. However, be warned! If you purchase diamonds, the ads that you get will become non existent for quite some time. If you do not purchase diamonds, you should receive your 3 ads every few hours daily. I really hope this honest review helps.

I found Fishdom a few months ago, and while it’s not what I thought it would be, I’ve become addicted to it. It’s very satisfying to beat these crazy levels! I also like the recent addition of having the ability to earn more power ups and be able to take I infinity time play can I have the time for it. I play mostly at night and I often have to forfeit a lot of “infinity lives” time play as they add up too quickly. At one point I had 14 hours of infinity lives and no way to put a hold on it. And that was after I had run out 4 hours! I ended up losing 7 hours! I wish there was a way to decide “when” we could use those bonus items (such as with the current bonus play where you can decide when to use you bonus items won). I don’t know any kid, young adult or grandma that has the time of time play. I’m retired and can play for long periods. And I do play fort long periods! It’s addicting! But I still end up losing a lot of infinity lives hours just because I need to sleep, eat and take care of the relief things. Other than that, I truly love this game! I am fifty my current level is in the 1700s and I have 1.5 million plus in points. I just started a few months ago. Thanks for all the fun.

I really love this one. The rewards are generous. I have spent .99 one time in over a year. The one complaint is that the buttons are arranged so that it is too easy to spend 9 diamonds for 5 extra moves at the end of a failed level. I have probably lost about 45 diamonds this way. I think they could just make it where you have to confirm or move the button, and seems like either of those things would be easy to incorporate. I know I’m not the only one by reading reviews so if the developers leave it as is, it would leave me with a bad taste. Update: the above still goes, but you learn the discipline. No other game has kept me playing this long. I do spend a few bucks on occasion but don’t feel forced into it to keep playing. I just put it into perspective with whatever else I waste money on! If you don’t want to spend money, just have patience. Really like the teams when you find the right one, and also the gold pass events. I also think the event gives you generous rewards even if you don’t buy the gold pass. I could do without the stories, but you still get generous rewards if you participate. Also customer support has always been responsive to me.

In the day, to day grind of working, commuting, giving seminars, conferences, meetings, children’s school, homework, sports activities, Mortgage, rent, utilities, laundry, cooking, cleaning, we are a society that’s in a constant race, to get everything done, we are all Superman, Wonder Women, and every other Super Hero that exists. We all live to work, and as we age, we slow down, we start forgetting simple things. I’m 60, I have never played a Video, or other Computer game. And, like lots of people my age, my memory, and focus isn’t what it use to be. I’m tired of hearing, and seeing bad things that have become a daily occurrence. My doctor suggested I try playing a challenging game, she said it will work but he brain, something involving strategy, focus, but fun. She suggested Fishdom. I have found it relieves stress, it’s very enjoyable and fun! Creative, adventurous, and everyone knows watching fish has a calming affect! It’s a blast! Not an identical aquarium anywhere, it’s interesting to create your own Aquarium World. I can’t wait to get home, and eDee use my brain! I’m almost at level 1300, and look forward to each new challenge. Plus, it’s great for any age group, and appropriate. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

Nice game; addictive 😃 The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because you try a level over and over and end up buying or using gems for the extra moves to beat it; meanwhile you earn the bombs you needed (in the first place) when you continue playing that level (with gems) and you can't save those bombs when you finish the level. These bombs would have been nice having in the first place (maybe you wouldn't have needed those extra moves); so you actually spend gems and forfeit bombs that you just bought or earned just at the end when you lost the level BUT you can't use for the next level to win and you're right back where you started... you need bombs & you're not going to pass that next level unless you gems to get those few extra moves needed to win. It would also be nice if we could replay previous levels for coins to buy new items or fish for our aquariums and earn experience points. The levels shouldn’t be based solely on difficulty but on repetition to beat a level. There’s no where to go from here where I’m stuck. No more $$ out of my pocket. What are you guys going to do to keep your loyal players!?!

I have had a few problems with this game in the past and support did not seem to be working, but eventually they resolved the issue of disappearing aquariums and coins. It took so long I got out of the habit of playing. I still play when I have time on my hands. Happening more often now so I am appreciating it again right now. Haven’t had any problems in quite some time so don’t know about support now. Guess as long as you’re not having a problem everything is good. I am not as interested in the process of decorating the aquariums and watching the fish, but they are still cute. Other reviews have stated this game is aimed at bilking you for money and I have to agree with that, but they all are. Still, you CAN play it without spending money for "diamonds & coins.” The further you go the more frequently you have no moves available at all or your available moves allow NO progress toward completing the level. When there are no moves, the pieces reshuffle, sometimes after one move it is back to no moves, reshuffles, repeats the cycle again and again. That totally kills my enjoyment of the game...so quit and go on to something else. I still like the look of this game, but as I said before it’s mostly just okay for passing time.

I truly enjoy this game and honestly wish that you could have unlimited play for free. The free play should not be limited to five games at a time, but should be unlimited. As long as you want to play and if you want to purchase extras then I can understand being charged for the extra advantages that you pay for in order to help you exceed in your levels quicker. Also the plants and fish that you purchase I could understand if those cost money for the more expensive ones. However for the little plants and cheaper fish they should be able to be earned after playing and winning x amount of games and you should not have to pay to open a bank of coins that you earned during your game play. That’s unreasonable in my opinion, because if you choose to purchase a package that allows you to earn the coins faster. You are being charged to earn the coins and then to use them! That’s double dipping and honestly pretty greedy on the game makers part, in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, as I definitely love this game, but I cannot afford this game! Not to mention you have to leave your older fish aquarium’s behind after you have earned the stars and gained entry to new aquariums and you cannot go back and feed the fish you have left behind.

Sometimes there bad updates, sometimes there are really good updates. I play daily, I’ve spent my fair share of money because I wanted to, I did not need to. There are many difficult challenges- I’ve seen ‘em all. I’m on level 5239 - I have a family, a full time job, and this is my wake up & play and then relax & wind down game. One of challenges, fixing the submarine, hasn’t been available for quite awhile and that was one of my faves. The holiday events are ok, not my most liked challenge. I dislike the ones that are temporary that require collecting special items to “purchase” upgrades to the aquarium space. I wish the developers could just release like 100 levels instead 15 or 20 a week. But it’s acceptable. One of the best things in Fishdom is they aren’t any ads ruining the fun between levels or anything. You can watch ads if you want to by clicking the video icon, or not. No forcing. Awesome! Another issue I see are the ads for Fishdom I keep seeing on other games I play occasionally- what’s up with those? They are seriously dumb. They do not represent the Fishdom game at all. They’re non-existent challenges not seen in this game anywhere (moving parts to allow water to flow so fish can escape, or outrunning a shark?!?!) Those are huge misconceived ads!

Yes, this game is quite addicting. They keep you saying “Okay, just a few more levels” by giving prizes that are timed (like free lives for 30 minutes, etc.). Yeah, I see your tricks! I’ve played a few matching games & I’d say this one is the most enjoyable. I wouldn’t get bored of it as quick as others. Every certain number of levels you win, you get to play a mini game. These are the mini games that are seen on the ads. Let me just say.. major eye roll!! These games could be won by a toddler. If you’re wanting to download based on just those, don’t. “Oh, no! The fish is stuck in some seaweed! Which item should we use to help it out?? Clippers(Scissors) OR a toilet??” They haven’t used a toilet as one of the options (that I’ve seen so far), but that isn’t far off of what they do use. My only other complaint is the placement of items in our aquariums. I just wish we had the option to overlap items (that we place) by some parts of the background. For example, if I’m sitting a house down but I want part of it to be behind a rock that was already part of the aquariums background-I can’t. It will look like it’s partially floating on a rock. I know this game isn’t about design, it’s just those little things that sometimes irritates.

I thought this was a great game, but the farther I get in the levels, the less I get to play. It is so hard to win with it taking days sometimes to get through a level now that I am at Level 393. There is no control of where to put the bonus pieces you earn, they just get dropped into spots where you had a great move you could have made. It is hard to earn bonuses. I move a piece to do one thing, and it does something I didn’t ask it to do. I have not paid for anything yet, so that is probably why it doesn’t want me to win much. The worst part is after you get to play a few times, when you lose, it kicks you out of the game not allowing you to play for sometimes as long as 30 minutes!!! You also can earn 30 minutes of a help, like the bombs, then three minutes later, you get timed out for 30 minutes since you lost a half dozen times. You can’t choose when to use an hour you may have earned so if it is late in the night, you just lose the time. I have never played a game that was so sparse on rewards. The other thing is I like being on a team, but I am pretty useless when I can’t win a level during the days the competition is taking place. I guess if this game wants me to play other games more that won’t time me out so fast and for so long, then they are succeeding. I do love the aquarium and the fish, but that can only go so far with helping me stick with this game.

It was entertaining until about level 500. I realize difficulty should increase as you progress however it became exceedingly clear it became more rigged towards purchasing gems. The boosters often impede playability on the first move. They are placed specifically in the line-up of tiles clearly designed for gameplay (and effect). For example, five tiles combined are needed to make a bomb which is the only way to clear surrounding boxes. Despite being several other options for the boosters to be places, they predictably go into the exact boxes *designed* for gameplay to start that level. This applies even if you don’t select your boosters but are given them. So you have to keep losing the level to undo the in-game winning streak boosters. This depletes you’re lives and any advantage to actually being on a winning streak. Second, there are too many animations that impede game play. Normally it’s just annoying until you get to timed levels. Using lightening, required on some levels, can wipe out a large amount of tiles (or all tile if two are combined) and the board has to refill. As it refills more combinations are being made and it takes longer. All the while the clock is still ticking, and if you’ve made enough explosions another lightening booster(s) is waiting to drop. During that time you cannot make any moves and the clock is still ticking down. This has to be intentional to make you purchase gems. Done with the in-app purchase model.

After a year or so playing and on level 2024 I finally deleted this game. Enjoyed playing, didn’t spend money on it very often. Just got tired of the manipulative algorithm that would have you run out of moves or time with just one move to win. Also, annoyed when I still have a few moves but game won’t release the bubbles needed to finish level. So goodbye Fishdom, I won’t miss you and sure you won’t miss me. Also lowered my rating. The following is a previous review since I simply edited to say goodbye. Tiffer roll your eyes at this. Play this game as a way to unwind and mostly enjoy it. I spend some money on it from time to time but not much. A few times I’ve almost deleted it because the game at times seems designed to make you spend money which I get, so I’m patient and stay stuck on a level at times for a few days. Really irritates me when the board is completely cleared and you have a few moves left and need only one more bubble but the game won’t release a bubble, grrr. Those are the times I nearly deleted. I also despise the new reward system of vouchers for designer fish. Yuck, those fish are ugly and I’d rather have the old reward system back where you get power ups. Another ploy to get players to spend. I’m in the 1700s on levels so been playing awhile. Maybe not much longer though if changes keep being made to squeeze me for money.

I have Two issues with this game. First is if you lose and you can use nine diamonds to get five more moves it appears instantly and you can accidentally hit it. I have continued a level about 12 times. 10 of those were by accident when was absolutely no way to win the level in five moves. I think when you hit the button by five more moves the game should ask you if that’s what you really meant. Secondly, There is really no such thing as infinity play. They give it to you, yes, but you’re really only allowed to win one or two levels. When you get to your limit of levels you can win on an infinity play it doesn’t matter whether you are on an easy, hard or super hard level, You’re simply not allowed to win. I was pretty sure that was the case but I tried it on my last infinity play. I was on the easy level and I played it for two hours of infinity play and never won. If I tried to use a booster they would place the booster in the absolutely worst possible place that would actually mess up what you have would have started with if you had not used a Booster. If you came very very close to winning, all Poseidon a lightning bolt would appear in the very spot you getting ready to do something with. Amazingly enough, as soon as infinity play had run out, I won the level. I do not like games that are that contrived.

An enjoyable match 3 game, but way too stingy with rewards; takes forever to earn enough to fill your fish tank, and so miserly with handing out gems you may as well forget about it. I hate the timed levels, you basically just have to keep playing them until you hit a turn that drops enough bombs to just randomly blow up all the tiles because there's just no time for studying the grid and planning a strategy. You need patience for this game, or else be prepared to spend lots of real coin in order to keep playing and advancing levels. GET RID OF THE TIMER! Update: Now into the levels above 800. The game has only gotten worse. Now some levels have individual time bombs in the squares that you must take out before they count down and end the game before you're even out of turns. More and more it has become a matter of just taking turns until the level wins itself by dropping enough power-ups to complete the round. I'm getting very close to deleting the app entirely. Another update: The game is actually CHEATING! For the last FIVE GAMES IN A ROW I have been left with nothing but one or two squid to capture, and the game simply stopped issuing new squid! I even used up my gems buying extra turns to clear this level, but still no squid popping up until after last turn has been played! That’s the last straw. Deleting now.
