The small tanks can only hold 4 fish, while the large tanks can hold 10.

So you're a chef and you want to expand into seafood or make a full on sushi bar? Well it's easy!
 
First you want to acquire some glass, at least 4 panes. Then you want to make 2-4 wall aquariums (NOT fishtanks or bowls) and fill them with water.
 
While you can intermix fish it is easier to manage if you keep them separate e.g. salmon in one tank, carp in another and shrimp in a third.
 
Put 2 of any kind of fish egg (which you bought from the pet vendor near arrivals) and feed them immediately.
 
After a few minutes of waiting and feeding (don't worry fish food is infinite) you want to harvest the eggs with your fish egg collector which you got from your fish care kit which was purchased from the pet vendor.
 
Once collected immediately feed the eggs back into their respective fish aquarium and wait a few more minutes feeding as soon as the yellow/red light appears. Then harvest the eggs then harvest the fish themselves until there are 2-3 left.
 
Cut up all fish that can be cut up, boil your shrimp, and turn them to sushi/steak. See the [[Guide to Food and Drinks#Fish, Seafood, and Sushi|food guide]] for more info.
 
===Recommended Fish===
 
'''Salmon''' can be used in sushi and steak, '''shrimp''' can be used for sushi and boiled with water, and '''carp''' also has several recipes. Don't worry about carp; they will never grow into full sized space carp. To acquire baby carp just [[Hacking#Vending machines|hack the pet vendor]].

Fish are aquatic creatures that can be kept as pets, used for certain devious crimes, or turned into delicious food. There is a wide variety of species you can keep that range from freshwater to saltwater and from basic to exotic.

Fish-Keeping Equipment

Most fishing equipment you will need can all be made with glass or acquired at the Pet Store in the vendor.

Tanks

To grow fish you need to make an aquarium made of glass, you can see how to do that here. There are 3 types of aquarium: Fishbowls, fish tanks, and wall aquariums.

Growing Fish

Keeping Fish Alive

When the fish get hungry the 2nd light on the tank will change to yellow/red. Fish must be fed regularly or they will die. Having more fish in the tank will increase the rate at which it accumulates dirt. Make sure to keep the tank clean and keep a good eye on your fish.

Reproduction

Fish cannot reproduce asexually but can interbreed (no new breeds of fish can be made this way), so you need at least 2 of any kind of fish to get new eggs. Fish eggs do not hatch on their own; they must be removed and put back in the tank to hatch.
