Aquarium Overseer/JawsIf you have one fish in your aquarium you can get a present daily by clicking the glowing statue of Jaws (the merman).
You must have at least one fish in your tank to be able to receive something from the aquarium daily chance.
Your tanks health can affect the prize, but you'll still receive one if your tanks health is poor. The better your tanks health is, the better the prize may be.
