I was unfamiliar with the concept of 'perfect fish' (matching finnage and bodies), until reading some of the posts, above. Based on the 'hint' provided by Brenda, and the first list provided by sfrose, as well as using the 'cleverarts' site extensively (don't have a spreadsheet program)I completed breeding the Twin-fin Arrowfish as well as the Great-Sail Spotanus. I must say that the Great-Sail Spotanus does not appear to match, but Twin-fin Spotanus does. So, now I'm back a step, and have to breed the Hornet Arrowfish. That's okay, it's fun.

Thanks for the tip about perfect fish breeding, sfrose. It's working.

I need to know how to get a twin-fin spotanus. I have all 7 magic fish and have figured out how to breed the others to get what I want, but I cannot manage to get a twin-fin spotanus. I have tried breeding the spotanus to get all the fin types and then buying the unknown chemical to mutate them, but didn't get a twin-fin. I have purchased fish eggs a number of times, but never get the twin-fin spotanus. Since you can only get a spot from a spot and a twin-fin from a twin-fin, how the heck can I get a twin-fin spot??

You are correct that the Twin-Fin cannot be bred from anything other than Twin-Fin fishies (and the same thing applies to the Spotanus), so you won't get one by breeding. It's pretty easy to get a Twin-Fin Spotanus from eggs in the PDA versions, but the Windows version seems to be a little stingier. Still, that might be the easiest way to get one. You might be able to mutate a Finless Spotanus into a Twin-Fin, if you want to try that.

Thanks, Lady. I sold off most of my spotanus now, but I'll try breeding again and getting a finless and see if I can mutate it. If it does come from the eggs, would it be in the common, unusual, or rare eggs? I've mostly purchased the unusual and rare, so perhaps I should concentrate on the common eggs?

The common eggs are the ones you should buy (and they're relatively cheap)!

Cool! Thanks!

Hooray! Thanks to all the tips from you kind folks, and much searching on CVA site, I now have the 21 "perfect" fish, and the PC version let me keep all of them in the #2 tank, together. In the #1 tank, I now have a breeding pair of each of the seven 'magic fish', with which I am now making much bucks from sales. So, I guess I won twice! Thanks to all - are there any more challenges in this game except to make 'all' the possible fish? Don't think I'll try that one, got where I am with 258 species. I hear there are 441, or more.
