Setting Up Your Tank
What fish should I get to start?
►First I would like to recommend that no matter which fish you choose that you get a full or do an 8/9 split tank of the same types. From experience as a grabber I tend to do better in a one type tank vs a mix. It also will give you a higher chance of a good glow group. Some fish have a much larger range of glow rating, or just more often glow at a medium number. If you aren't sure on glow rating, which even my stats guide does not seem to be accurate on as I took most of those numbers from past guides, just go 8/9 split on your tank. It can't really hurt.
►Another thing to consider is floating vs ground fish. Floating fish have better visibility on how the gold will fall but ground fish give two opportunities(tossed up and falls down) to grab their gold.
►And Finally I recommend collecting all 17 fish(maximum allowed per tank) before putting them in.
Mini Monsters are all obtainable through Phin Phang Fourth Strike Pack.
►To start these are the best fish for their cost:
The following drop 30 gold a minute without buffs or debuffs
Aquarium Mini Monsters Alpha Grams
Aquarium Mini Monsters Kokeshi Collectible
Aquarium Mini Monsters Laceback Galoshes
Aquarium Mini Monsters Lightning Bug
Aquarium Mini Monsters Walkers
The following drop 45 gold a minute without duffs or debuffs
Aquarium Mini Monsters Bladed Vase
Aquarium Mini Monsters Feathered Coatl
Aquarium Mini Monsters Katsumi's Kokeshi Doll
*A note on Bladed Vase. You may see them at 45 gold and oo they drop all blue coins, must be the best. I thought they could be so I've been running 17 of them on my mule. They glow 4~15, but they most often glow in groups of 8 or 9. So I would 100% recommend if you're going bladed vase to do a 8/9 split with them.
The next two are a bit more expensive. The Grunny drops items. The Lawnshark is probably higher priced for the reason it's life span is more like double than it's gaia estimate. Instead of 4 weeks it lives 7 - 8.
Aquarium Mini Monsters Lawnshark
Aquarium Mini Monsters Grunny Sub
The following drops 60 Gold without buffs or debuffs
Aquarium Mini Monsters Outlaw Wolf
The following are more expensive to start with but popular. I recommend reading my commentary below about expensive tank starts. Expensive fish are often not recommended for starters.
Below are fish that drop 90~96 gold a minute without buffs or debuffs
Aquarium Mini Monsters Airshark
Aquarium Mini Monsters Giant Stone Coatl
The Aquarium Irrawaddy Dolphin is sort of in it's own category. It is on the expensive side for only dropping 55 gold a game, but they are all guaranteed to glow every glow. This makes them very reliable as long as you get your tank bumped and played on glows. The Aquarium Dolphin is the same exact thing except for life span.
[x] Stats on fish! Life span is important to consider when picking fish.
►Picking the fish is probably the easiest part to owning a booty grab tank for most people. It's often recommended not to go big to start and I would agree. Booty Grab gives 100% of gold grabbed by the players to the owner of the tank per play. This means your goal it to maximize the number of times your tank is played. One aspect of getting plays is to bump your thread to the top of the forum while you are glowing. Users will then click into it and therefore play your game. When you are first starting you will have your thread set up and likely few people willing to bump your thread.
Which brings me back around to why expensive fish are not recommended. Your goal is to maximize the plays, but when you're offline your tank will sit there in the depths of the many pages of the forum, unbumped, unplayed, no profit.
So, I agree with not picking expensive fish; however, if you have the ability to get your thread up just about every time it glows per day then go for the big ones ~ if you want. People will play a good tank if it's up at the top of the list.
Fish purchased! What now?
Put them in your tank!
►There are a few extra things you may want to know down in Q&A. Other than that move to the next section.
PRO TIP: Do the Gaia Cash Tree offers, specifically watching the videos, daily! I wish someone had told me how much you can get from them. It does not take long to make 250 GC to spend on the strike packs which is free fish!
