Version: Fish Tycoon
"I love this game, I feel like I have a tank of living fish"
Pros: I have to work on the computer all day, and I keep the game running and every now and then I check out how my fish are doing and sometimes I sell some of thm and make profit. It's gets me out of the work climate and refreshes me.
Cons: Magic fish, nothing is stated to help us find them. More tuturiols are needes.

Version: Fish Tycoon
"cool game, easy to learn, funny and exciting at all times."
Pros: this is a very good game for all ages. It takes u only a little bit to understand the way you need to play, so u dedicate the rest of ur time 2 actually play it. The only bad for me is that u gather money quite hard. apart from that i would recommend it to all of u that try to find an easy goin game for any time of the day. Somethin else is that "moves" in real time so ppl only have to dedicate just a little bit from their time
Cons: as i mentioned the money is sth that a lot of us dislike since u gather them very hard . especially the research enviroment. How r we supposd to get the $1750 for the 2nd fish enviroment research ei?? give us some hints!!

Version: Fish Tycoon
Cons: I couldn't buy enough supplies in the shop w/out registering. I also couldn't have enough money to start with in order to take care of my fish and buy stuff at the same time.
