How do I reach next level quicker?
If you have enough fishcoins, buy experience booster. You can choose x2 or x4. As their names suggest you get two times or four times more experience points.
If you don’t have enough fishcoins I recommend you according to your level:
All levels: If you have friend who has a lot of 3-5 star fish in his/her garden try to catch fish there.
Low a medium levels: : Fishing on trout farm is very effective way. Use dough as bait because it is for free in bakery. You can use bamboo rod, but fish can grow over one meter. However, two 5-star fish which you can only catch on bamboo rod are available here
Medium and high levels: Rent a boat in Seagull Harbor, use luck potion and fish as a bait. By this way you could possibly catch plenty of 5-star fish a and reach many levels.
How do I unlock more maps?
Reach higher levels to unlock more maps.
Why I can’t join tournaments?
You must be level 5 to join tournament.
How can I communicate with people around me?
Press enter to chat with fishermen.
Who is Vasiliy and where can I find him?
He is a trader in Cool Mountain. You can sell him useless thing from your inventory.
How does fishing line work?
Size of fish you are able to catch is affected by strength and durability of rod and fishing line. Let me show you short example:
Rod: 200cm
Fishing line: 80cm
(200 + 80) / 2 = 140 cm
In this case you are able to catch fish of size 140 cm.
How does tree behind my house work?
This produces fishcoin and fishbucks every 24 hours. Higher the tree is more coins and bucks it produces. It is located behind your house in Rio Tropical.
I can’t find all bones for my daily quest.
Fish bones are nearby water. Walk on shore and you will find them all.

We have some exciting news!
We are introducing a new special kind of fish, and a new special way to unlock them. The first one of it’s kind is a fish called Loof Lirpa, which is the fish in this picture, a rare tropical hybrid.
There are many fish in Fishao that are hard to catch. This fish has actually been in the game for some time, however, so far no one has caught the Loof Lirpa. It’s a “hidden fish”, which is an old idea we had, but didn’t implement until about a month ago. Hidden fish means that it will become unlocked for you if you perform a certain task. But there will be no notification for the unlocking and you will not see it in your Fishdex until you catch it. That is why we call it “Hidden”. We got inspiration for the idea from the way you access Lost Valley. If people like this idea we will introduce more of them.
Since it’s the first hidden fish, we will tell you how to catch it.
This is how you catch it: At Pinheira Beach there is a fish market. You must run around the Fish Market building 5 times, starting and ending at the door. This unlock lasts for 10 minutes. So you will have 10 minutes to fish for it. After the 10 minutes you can simply run around the building another 5 times to unlock it for 10 more minutes. It doesn’t matter in which direction you circle the building. You just need to pass all corners of the building. Remember to check the time so you know when to renew the unlock.

You can only catch it at Pinheira Beach. This fish is always active, but you have to figure out the bait for yourself 🙂
