Want to breed fish without the hassle of a real tank, cleaning, smelly fish food, and, well, flushing them?

As an avid non-violent gamer I'm always hunting for new strategy and puzzle games that don't involve fast paced action, blood, gore and the like. Tycoon games are right up my alley, but sometimes I feel like I'm missing something with them. The real-life changes that come with growing, building, living. Enter Fish Tycoon to fill the niche!

Ready or not fish breeding world, here you come! Fish Tycoon lets you set up a tank of fish and breed. Add to it the tons of different breeds you get to make by combining different fish together and mating them, the quest to get the 7 magic fish, the need to research so you have better food and environment to keep these hybrid fish alive; and all this has to be done by financing yourself and selling off fish that, hopefully, aren't the fish meant to unlock the magic ones! Not to mention the fact that you can play on 3 different difficulty levels and change the speed of your game. And never fear, if you need to go away for a week, weekend, or month, you can pause the game and come back to healthy fish upon your return!

The best part of Fish Tycoon is the fact I can open it up, breed my fish, and then do other things. I can surf the net, study for class, go out for dinner and come home to have new babies or adults ready to be fed and bred and sold. There are tons of items to buy for your tank and various road blocks thrown in (like diseases you have to buy cures for) that make the game play challenging. Best of all, the game comes from LDW which is truly customer focused and extremely helpful when you have issues.

If you want a game that requires some planning, strategy, and lets you have virtual pets that grow over real time - this game is certainly for you!
