Odell Down Under FAQ by Lord Seth Contact info: lseths@yahoo.com The latest version of this guide will always be found on gamefaqs.com. Table Of Contents: I. Intro II. Version History III. FAQ IV. How To Play V. Walkthrough VI. The InvinciFish VII. Credits & Copyright I. Intro Odell Down Under is a pretty old game. It's a semi-educational game where you play as fish in the Great Barrier Reef. Your mission? To survive. There are a lot of fish to play as, and each will eat different things. What you need to do is stay alive by eating, staying healthy with the help of a Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse (or Banded Coral Shrimp if it's at night), not eating anything "bad" for you, and also avoiding the fish that want to eat you! There are four modes to this game: Challenge, Tournament, Create-A-Fish, and Practice, which I'll explain in the Walkthrough section. Actually, this game is really not educational in the traditional manner. You may learn a thing or two about fish and what the fish eat along the way, but that's it. True, you'll need to remember what each fish eats, but that's the most education you'll get out of this, most likely. Uh...let's get onto the guide? II. Version History 1.0: Initial release. III. FAQ Q: I can't catch a fish I want to eat! When I try to click on it, I start moving near it and it runs away! A: Press the "escape" key to pause the game. Move your mouse pointer to where the fish is, then press escape again and click immediately after you press escape the second time. Q: Can I make a fish that can eat anything? A: See the "InvinciFish" section. Q: Isn't this FAQ part a bit short? A: Yes. Yes it is. IV. How To Play It's pretty simple. Your mouse cursor appears on the screen. Move it to where you want your fish to go. If you want your fish to eat something, click on that. If you're trying to get it to eat any other fish, once you click on that fish it will freeze and your fish will zoom over and take a chomp on it. Pretty simple, really. You can hide from predators in caves or behind coral or grass if your fish is small enough. Move your cursor off the screen to exit the current "sector" in that direction. Note that while you can't go above the highest level or below the lowest level, if you exit the right side of the right-most column, you'll enter the left-most column. If you exit the left side of the left-most column, you'll enter the right-most column. Want some information about what's on the screen? Press the escape key and it'll pause it for you. Then you can click on the fish or sea life to see their names and what they're doing (such as attacking another fish or fleeing from one) You get points by eating things your fish can eat. If your fish takes a bite out of it, you get 500 points. If it eats it outright, you get 1,000 points. Strangely enough, things like coral and Plankton, which are apparently good for infinite eatings, will, depending on your fish, give you 500 points (for taking a bite out of it) or 1,000 points (even though you really only took a bite out of it) depending on what fish you have. Anyway, when you have enough points and are playing Tournament or Challenge, you'll move onto the next level. You also have your points increase automatically as you play, unless you're hiding. If your Energy or Health goes down to zero, you die. Keep your Energy up by eating. Your Energy automatically lowers. Moving around lowers the amount of Energy quicker. If your Health decreases, find a Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse or a Banded Coral Shrimp (depending on whether it's night or day) and it'll clean you and restore your Health to maximum. V. Walkthrough There are four modes of play. There's Challenge, Tournament, Create-A-Fish, and Practice. In Challenge, you're given four fish. You start with the weakest of them and have to get 5,000 points to move up to the next fish. On that fish, you need 10,000 more points to move up to the next fish, and for the next fish it's 15,000 more points, then 20,000 points. In Create-A-Fish you...well, create a fish. Really nothing to explain there. To find out how to make a more or less invincible fish in that, look under the "The InvinciFish" section. In Practice, you pick a fish and can play with it. You don't get points and you don't "move up" like in Challenge or Tournament. Speaking of which... In Tournament, you go through every single freaking playable fish there is, starting with Silver Sprat and ending with the Great White Shark. If you die, you can choose to start over or continue with no points. Tournament will be the main focus of this guide. What I'm going to do here is list every single fish and how it relates to the game--even the fish you can't play as. A few of the other sea life types are also here. For the playable fish, I'll discuss what to do with them. The fish's name will be listed, what it eats (according to the game), its "enemies," any special abilities, and when it is active. Then I'll give information on how to play as that fish, if it is playable. Otherwise I'll just explain how it affects you. That pretty much is a walkthrough, given the way the game is set up. First, some general advice that will be undoubtedly repeated throughout the fish: If the fish eats grass or algae, just go near some and continually eat it until you beat the level. If it eats sponges, you can do the same thing, though sponges do get used up after a while. Also, if it says the fish eats "smaller fish" this often means it will eat worms also. Okay, here we go. Achilles Tang Eats: Algae and grasses Enemies: Larger fish Special Ability: Sharp Spines Active: Daytime Just find algae or grass to eat, which is incredibly easy, then chow down until you've got the points you need. Banded Coral Shrimp (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Mucus, old scales, bacteria, fungus, parasites, and damaged tissue Enemies: Most fish will not eat cleaners Special Ability: Dance Active: Nighttime These are the night versions of the Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasses. Low on health? Just go up to these guys and they'll restore you to perfect health. Some fish you play as will actually refuse outright to eat them, as they're the closest thing you'll get to "doctors" in the fish world. Black and White Spinecheeck Eats: Invertebrates and plankton Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime Forget about the Plankton. This guy can eat Worms, Brittle Stars, and Shrimp, which should be easy to find. Only bother with the Plankton if you really need to. Blackfin Barracuda Eats: Smaller fish Enemies: Big sharks Active: Anytime Have fun going after the medium-sized fish and worms with this fish! No, seriously, have fun. This is a fun fish to play as. Blackspotted Puffer Eats: Corals, Crustaceans, Invertebrates Enemies: Large Sharks, Groupers, Mackerel, and Wrasses Special Ability: Inflating Active: Anytime Just find some coral and eat it continually. Very simple. Don't worry about the special ability, because you won't need it at all if you use this method. Blacktip Shark Eats: Most smaller animals including puffers and electric rays Enemies: Very large fish Active: Sunrise & sunset This is the smaller of the two sharks in the game. Although no match for a Great White Shark (you can't eat it but it can eat you), you still should have no problem. Actually, the Great White Shark would seem to be the ONLY fish that can eat this fish. Go after the medium fish, the Brittle Stars, and Crabs and you'll be fine. Bloodspot Squirrelfish Eats: Crabs, shrimps and worms Enemies: Most larger fish Active: Anytime Despite the claim that it eats "worms" (I put that there because that's what the game claims), this actually will NOT eat Worms, at least not the ones in Odell Down Under. So you're stuck with Crabs and Shrimp. The good news is that it only takes a bite out of a Crab, meaning that a Crab is re-usable even after a chomp is taken. The bad news is the Crab immediately scurries away. Still, Crabs tend to try to "hide", which is funny because you, at least, can still chomp at them when they're "hiding." Try to eat the Shrimp you find, but a Crab is the best thing to chomp. Bluegill Longfin Eats: Small fish and crustaceans Enemies: Larger Fish Active: Nighttime Like most of the small fish that eat "smaller fish", you can eat Worms with this. But going after some Orange Coral Gobies works very well also. Banded Coral Shrimp is also possible. Just make sure you avoid the larger fish. Bluelined Snapper Eats: Crustaceans (including sea-urchins), sea anemones, and small fish Enemies: Most larger fish Active: Daytime See sea urchins or sea anemones? Just eat them. Only worry about the smaller fish if you need to. Bluespotted Ray Eats: Crustaceans, invertebrates, and fish Enemies: Very large fish Special Ability: Tail Sting Active: Anytime The bad news about this fish is that it takes a while to eat anything. Still, Snails and Brittle Stars are probably your best bet on what to go after. The good thing is that it only takes a bite out of a Brittle Star, meaning that one Brittle Star is good for multiple chomps. Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Old scales, parasites, and damaged skin Enemies: Most fish will not eat cleaners. Special Ability: Dancing. Active: Daytime These fish play an important game role. If your health is low, go up to one and it'll restore it. Depending on what fish you are playing as, you may be unable to eat these, not because "it's not on your menu" because you just won't. Bronze Sweeper Eats: Plankton, small invertebrates and fish Enemies: Larger fish Active: Nighttime Try for Orange Coral Goby and Plankton. Brittle Star (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Detritus and micro-organisms, small worms and crustaceans Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime These stay in one place until eaten by a fish. If you have a fish that only takes a bite of them, it will drop down a small amount after being bitten. Cleaner Mimic Blenny Eats: Bites of other fish Enemies: Most fish won't eat the mimic Special Ability: Imitate Cleaner Active: Daytime This looks extremely like a Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse. You can use its special ability to lure fish to you, but that's unnecessary. This is an extremely easy fish to use. Just go up to fish and chomp on them. They'll run away (even if they can eat you), and that's it. Try doing this on worms if you can; worms will only fall a little if you chomp on them, rather than running away like the fish. Warning: Although I haven't had any trouble with any other fish, I did have a Painted Frogfish eat this fish once when I tried to chomp on it, so you probably want to avoid them. Clown Coris Eats: Hard-shelled invertebrates Enemies: Very large fish Active: Daytime The fun thing about this fish is you get to eat the things that most other fish can't. Namely sea urchins, snails, and oysters. Of course, you can still eat a Crab. Clown Triggerfish Eats: Invertebrates, coral, and small fish Enemies: Larger fish Acive: Daytime Find some coral and continually eat it until you get your points. Quite simple. Note that if you are playing in Tournament, at about this time you will begin getting the larger fish. Cluster Anemone (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Plankton Enemies: Butterflyfish and snappers Active: Anytime These are also known as "sea anemones." Some fish can eat these, but for most fish trying to eat these will only make you "sick", meaning that your energy and health will decrease. They are no threat to you at all unless you try to eat them with a fish that gets sick from doing so. Coral Grouper Eats: Crustaceans and smaller fish Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime It's probably best to just go for the smaller fish. There's the ever-easy-to-eat Orange Coral Gobies, but this fish is big enough to eat some of the "beginning" small fish. It can also eat Shrimp and worms. However, if you find a Brittle Star, just chomp on it over and over. Crocodile Needlefish Eats: Smaller fish Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime Worms are easy to eat, but you can also take multiple bites out of a Brittle Star to finish the level. Crab (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Detritus and dead animals Enemies: Many larger fish Active: Anytime This moves around and its only real purpose is as food for fish that can eat it. It also has a tendency to run away from fish, even if those fish have no interest in eating it. Cuttlefish Eats: Smaller fish Enemies: Larger fish Special Ability: Squirt Ink Active: Anytime The Cuttlefish's ability to squirt ink can scare off enemy fish, but only for a short time. The ability's best use is if you're being pursued. Anyway, the Cuttlefish, in addition to the smaller fish, can also go after Snails and worms. Oh, and oysters. Can't forget about the oysters. Dash and Dot Goatfish Eats: Invertebrates, worms, and crustaceans Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime It should be easy enough to find enough worms, snails, and crabs to eat. Devil Scorpionfish Eats: Small fish, shrimp, and crabs Enemies: Coral trout and humphead wrasse Active: Anytime As annoying as it is, this won't eat worms. That's annoying because worms (which conveniently do not move) are a useful thing to eat. Ah well. Guess we'll fall back on the usual Orange Coral Goby thing, eh? If you're having trouble finding those, turn to the Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasses, as the Devil Scorpionfish, living up to its name, is unafraid to eat the "doctors" of the sea. Doublelined Mackerel Eats: Smaller fish Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime This can eat a great deal of the smaller fish, plus worms and Shrimp. Should be easy to survive as, as long as you avoid the ever-so-annoying really large fish. Dusky Anemonefish (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Plankton Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime These are perhaps better known as "clownfish." These things actually can live inside sea anemones, and they do so for protection, as the anemones will sting most other fish. Nemo from Finding Nemo was a clownfish. Uh, yeah. Anyway, these things tend to hang around anemones, but you can still eat them when they're "in" the anemones, it seems. Flashlightfish Eats: Plankton Enemies: Larger fish Special Ability: Illuminate Active: Nighttime The special ability seems to do absolutely nothing in this game other than make the Flashlightfish move around like it's having seizures. Speaking of which, for some reason if I try to move the Flashlightfish to a different screen, sometimes it will immediately double back to where it was. I have no idea why this happens. Well, go with the usual "hope to heck you find Plankton and continually chomp on it if you do" strategy you use for fish that only eat Plankton. Football Trout Eats: Smaller fish Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime Ah, the Football Trout. A real pain to deal with if you're a smaller fish, but if you're playing as this, you get to be the one eating those smaller fish! Heck, this thing can even eat some of the bigger fish, like the Marbled Grouper! Have fun with this fish; just be careful of the really big fish. As always. Giant Clam (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Plankton Enemies: Humans Active: Anytime This thing will stay in one place and not move at all. It is no threat to you unless you try to eat it. What happens if you try to eat it depends on the fish. It will either successfully eat your fish, your fish will run away as it closes, or you'll get a "it's too hard for you to eat" message. I don't think there are any fish in the game that can eat this, so you're best off leaving it alone. Giant Grouper Eats: Fish, crustaceans, turtles, and sharks Enemies: Very large fish Active: Nighttime This can eat all kinds of fish and things, including the Brittle Star. Should be a piece of cake to use, as long as you avoid the ever-annoying sharks. Gorgeous Prawn-goby (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Small sand dwelling invertebrates Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime These can be eaten by larger fish, but other than that serves no real purpose in the game. Great White Shark Eats: Just about anything! Enemies: Humans Active: Anytime This is it. The big, bad boy himself, and the final one you'll play as in Tournament. This fish fears nothing, save humans and other Great White Sharks. Not only can it eat any other fish, it also has an appetite for sponges. The only thing you have to fear is other Great White Sharks, and if you're quick enough you can eat them before they get a chance to go after you. Furthermore, NOTHING it eats can poison it or harm it if eaten. This is truly the ultimate actual fish in the game. Hairtailed Flutemouth Trumpet Eats: Small fish and crustaceans Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime If you've been playing through Tournament, you'll know the deal. Go for Shrimps and the smaller fishes. Unlike many of the bigger fish, this fish can get nourishment even out of Orange Coral Gobies. Humphead Wrasse Eats: Fish, mollusks, slugs, starfish, and boxfish Enemies: Very large fish Active: Daytime Now this is the real deal. This can eat most of the fish. It can also eat Snails, sea cucumbers, sea slugs, and Starfish. Shouldn't be hard to find things to eat for THIS fish. Lined Cardinalfish Eats: Plankton and small crustaceans Enemies: Larger fish Active: Nighttime Despite its claim you can eat small crustaceans, all I know of that you can eat with this is plankton, meaning you'll have to face the usual "plankton dilemma" meaning that if you find plankton, you've pretty much won as it's good for multiple chomps, but if you can't, you're dead. Lionfish Eats: Small fish, crabs, and shrimp Enemies: Very large fish Active: Daytime The description says it all. Go after small fish like the Orange Coral Gobies, or Crabs, or Shrimps. Fairly versatile. Lobster (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Snails, clams, small fish, and dead animals Enemies: Larger fish Active: Nighttime You actually won't see this much, and I don't think it's any threat to you. Most fish won't be able to eat it, so you're probably best off not worrying about it. Long-nosed Butterflyfish Eats: Small crustaceans and the feet of sea urchins and sea anemones Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime It eats the FEET of sea urchins and sea anemones. That means you can chomp them over and over again. Find some sea urchins or sea anemones (you can almost always find them in the middle part of the highest level) and chomp them over and over. Oh, yeah, it can also take bites out of worms. Longfin Spadefish (Batfish) Eats: Algae, invertebrates and small fish Enemies: Large fish Active: Daytime As always with algae-eating fish, forget everything else they can eat and just eat the same algae over and over. Longhorn Cowfish Eats: Invertebrates and sponges Enemies: Very large fish Active: Daytime As usual with anything that eats sponges, forget about everything else and just eat those sponges. Longsnout Flathead Eats: Small fish and crustaceans Enemies: Bigger fish Active: Anytime Just go after Orange Coral Gobies, Shrimp, and worms and you'll be fine. You can also take bits out of Brittle Stars! Be careful, though, because if you're playing Tournament this is about the size when the bigger fish start to notice you...and attack you. Lyretail Coral Trout Eats: Smaller fish (including poisonous ones), crabs, and lobsters Enemies: Bigger fish Active: Nighttime You can't eat worms, but you can eat some Shrimp and Brittle Stars! It really isn't that hard to find prey for this fish. There's plenty of smaller fish around you can eat, though Orange Coral Goby is a bit small for it. Unfortunately, this fish also seems to catch the attention of larger fish, most especially the Football Trout. This fish is slow, so be sure to have a hiding space ready if you're chased. Marbled Grouper Eats: Crustaceans, gastropods, and smaller fish Enemies: Bigger fish Active: Anytime This fish is pretty darn annoying if you're not playing as it, because it'll often come after you. But if you're playing as it, you don't have much to fear other than the really, really big fish (like sharks). It can eats Snails and Brittle Stars, along with the smaller fish. Worms, though, seem to be below its size requirements. Still, the fact it eats even Snails makes it pretty easy to find the food you need. Moorish Idol Eats: Sponges and algae Enemies: Bigger fish Active: Daytime Either eat some algae over and over or find some sponges and eat them. Easy! Needle Spined Sea Urchin (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Algae and detritus Enemies: Triggerfish, giant groupers, large wrasses, filefish, and giant helmets Active: Nighttime A being that stands still that most fish can't eat due to its spikes. Still, it's a good choice for food for fish that can eat it. Neon Damsel Eats: Plankton and algae Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime Really easy. Find some algae (there's plenty in the middle square) and just keep eating it. Orange Coral Goby (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Plankton Enemies: Bigger fish Active: Anytime These tiny orange/yellow fishes will be found in the upper-right of the central screen and the upper-left of the right-most screen of the central level. They're good and easy food for the smaller fishes when you're playing as said smaller fishes. Oriental Sweetlip Eats: Invertebrates Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime Three words: Brittle Stars, Snails and Worms. Okay, so it's five words. But it's three things to eat. Painted Frogfish Eats: Small fish Enemies: Larger fish Special Ability: Angling Active: Anytime Angling will make smaller fishes come towards you. Your best bet here is to go after some Orange Coral Gobies or some worms. Palette Surgeonfish Eats: Plankton Enemies: Larger fish Special Ability: Sharp Spines Active: Daytime This fish can only eat Plankton, but at least you've got some Sharp Spines to protect you. So, as usual with the Plankton-only fish, hope to heck you find Plankton, and when you do, don't stop eating it until the level's clear. Peach Fairy Basslett (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Plankton Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime Similar to the Orange Coral Gobies, these are small fish that play no part in your game other than to be eaten. Unlike Orange Coral Gobies, though, these stay in one place, then scatter if you get too close to them. They're mostly found in the upper-left corner screen. Pencile Streaked Rabbitfish Eats: Algae and grass Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime Extremely easy. Find some grass or algae and just start eating it. Grass may be better, because it provides the dual usage of hiding yourself from bigger fish. Picassofish Eats: Plants and animals Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime It may eat animals, but who cares? Just eat algae or grass until you've got enough points to move up in the food chain. Plankton (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Phytoplankton are plants, zooplankton eat plankton Enemies: Many different animals Active: Not applicable "Plankton" in the game is a group of small red dots that float around. Unfortunately, they can sometimes be hard to see, which is frustrating because some fish can only eat these. Their only purpose in this game is to be eaten by fish that can eat them. Plankton are good for multiple eatings. And no, they're not going to go and attack any Crabs for the Krabby Patty recipe. Pygmy Parrotfish Eats: Algae, grass, and coral Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime Oh, come on. Algae, grass, AND coral? You can find something to eat on every single one of the screens! Just find one of them and chow down! Rainbow Runner Eats: Crustaceans and smaller fish Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime Just go after the smaller fish. But if you find a Brittle Star, keep chomping on it until you've completed the level you're on. Redtoothed Triggerfish Eats: Plankton and sponges Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime Don't worry about the Plankton bit. Just get the sponges. Quite simple. Also, this only PARTIALLY eats sponges. That means one sponge is good for several eatings (and points!) Ringtail Wrasse Eats: Smaller fish, brittle stars, and sea urchins Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime The "smaller fish" bit is all-too-familiar, but being able to get Brittle Stars and Sea Urchins is an additional bonus. Brittle Stars are especially useful because this only takes bites out of them, meaning that the same Brittle Star is good for multiple chomps. Sea Wasp (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Bottom dwelling shrimp and fish Enemies: Very large fish Active: Not applicable These things just float in the water. You usually won't even see them, because they don't show up much. You're best off just avoiding them. I've never seen them attack a fish. Semicircle Angelfish Eats: Sponges and sea squirts Enemies: Large fish Active: Daytime Find sponges and eat them. Simple as that. Short-tail Electric Ray Eats: Crustaceans and bottom dwelling fish Enemies: Sharks Special Ability: Electric Shock Active: Anytime Being a Short-tail Electric Ray is interesting, because most of the other fish will run from you, even fish too big for you to eat. Well, Snails are good to eat, along with worms and Shrimp. And smaller fish and Crabs. Just watch out for the sharks; your electric shock doesn't seem to really get rid of them. See a shark? Hide! This thing is too slow to outrun them. Wait, did I say you can't outrun them? I meant you can't outswim them. Shrimp (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Plankton, larva, small worms, and fish Enemies: Many larger fish Active: Anytime These little things can be eaten by some fish. They have a tendency to run away from pretty much any fish that can eat them, and even a bunch of fish that don't. It's completely harmless, though. Silver Sprat Eats: Plankton Enemies: Bigger Fish Active: Anytime This is the first fish you play as in Tournament, and can possibly be the one you lose on. It only eats Plankton, so if you find Plankton you'll have an easy go of it. Just keep chomping on the Plankton and getting points until you get enough. Problem is, if you can't find Plankton, then you're sunk. Small Spotted Pompano Eats: Smaller fish Enemies: Bigger fish Active: Anytime Despite its larger size, this isn't much different than what you've used before, assuming you're doing this in Tournament. Go for the worms, Crabs, Shrimp, and small fish like Orange Coral Gobies. Threadfin Butterflyfish Eats: Coral, sea anemones, algae, and worms Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime This one is EXTREMELY easy. Either find some coral or some algae and just keep eating it over and over until you've gotten enough points. The fact you can also eat other things is just icing on the cake. Varigated Lizardfish Eats: Small fish Enemies: Larger fish Active: Anytime As usual, Orange Coral Gobies and worms are excellent choices for food, but this thing can also eat Shrimp. White-spotted Guitarfish Eats: Crabs, squid, and small fish Enemies: Large sharks Active: Anytime You'll have to go after the fish in the small-medium range. And, of course, there's the Cuttlefish, though it can be tricky to eat because of its ink. Whitemargin Unicornfish Eats: Plankton and algae Enemies: Very large fish Special Ability: Sharp Spines Active: Daytime As always with the algae-eaters, you've practically got a level for free. Just eat the same algae over and over. Sorry if I sound like a broken record in describing what to do with algae-eating fish. Sorry if I sound like a broken record in describing what to do with algae-eating fish. Sorry if I sound like... Whitemouth Moray Eel Eats: Fish and crustaceans Enemies: Larger fish Active: Nighttime Orange Coral Gobies are a good thing for this fish to eat, but there are still plenty of other small fish to eat. You can also eat some Banded Coral Shrimp if you want; but will you feel good about yourself? Well, probably, but that seemed the right thing to say. Whitespot Hawkfish Eats: Small crustaceans and fish Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime Go after the Orange Coral Gobies and other small fish. Self-explanatory. Worms (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Detritus, plankton, and bacteria Enemies: Many other animals Active: Not applicable These things stay in one place and do not move. Most fish that can eat "smaller fish" can eat these also. If a fish that can only take a bite out of a worm takes a bite out of it, the worm will fall down a fair amount, but will remain in the game. Yellow Seahorse (NOT PLAYABLE) Eats: Plankton Enemies: Very large fish Active: Anytime These things are too hard for most fish to eat, so unless you're a bigger fish this won't be of much help to you. Yellowspot Emperor Eats: Small fish, crustaceans, and mollusks Enemies: Larger fish Active: Daytime With this guy, it's probably easiest to just eat snails. You can find them on the top and bottom levels. The best place to find plenty of snails is the middle of the top levels. Shrimp and Orange Coral Gobies are also good choices for prey. VI. The InvinciFish This fish, which can be made in the Create-A-Fish, has other names, including Cheap-O-Fish, Greater Than A Great White Shark, El Ultimo Fisho, Fish Of Death, and Lord Seth's Fish. To make this fish, you need a Large fish that has equal Endurance and Agility and a Speed lower than both of them. It doesn't matter what you set them as long as you have them like this, but here's a play-by-play of what to do. First, set the fish's size to Large. Set Speed to 200, Endurance to 250, and Agility to 250. Set the color and Day or Night to whatever the heck you want. Congratulations, you now have InvinciFish! This fish can eat every single fish, cannot be eaten by any fish or other kind of sea life (even the Giant Clam can't hurt you!), and can eat ANYTHING, although not everything will provide it with nourishment, of course. It won't even get sick from starfish, sea anemone, or anything else. Plus it can eat sponges and get nourishment from them. It's like a Great White Shark in that way. Furthermore, I have NEVER seen its Health go down ever. Unless you try to kill it off on purpose by not eating, it's never going to die, because even if you can't find fish to eat, there's always sponges. The ONLY weakness of this fish is that it needs to be fed frequently, and merely the fact it will eat sponges will let you do that easily. This fish makes the game too easy. Bottom line: This is, truly, the closest thing to an invincible fish you can get on this game. If only its energy didn't decrease...then it truly would be invincible. VII.
