Are the effects at least good enough to outweigh the disadvantages?

Reading this thread makes me want to go back and start a new game of FT. Of course, it will take me forever to be able to afford that seahorse since I'll have to start from scratch!

At least it will pass the time while waiting for VV3 to come out, but once it's out I'll have to remember to pause my fishies so they won't die of starvation!

If someone figures out what it does, please post here so I won't be working my few brain cells to figure it out.

Don't hold your breath! No-one in the forums has figured it out in the time since FT first came out so don't expect an answer soon.

We could try...I bet its because no one ever tried hard enough..
LadyCFII, do I have permission to hack FT so I can find out what it does? (pretty please with a cherry on top)

You obviously haven't read the forum rules, or you wouldn't ask for permission to hack FT.

Oops...I'm so sorry...I promise I won't hack it and just sell fish until I get enoguh money...

I don't think the seahorse does anything worthwhile.

Got so fed up with it using up one of my fish places for no apparent advantage that I got rid of it!

Haven't noticed anything different about the game:

Fish breed, age, sell, get sick, get cured, are just as hungry as they were before. I have found all of the fish without ever purchasing the seahorse too.

Perhaps it's more of an advantage at the beginning of the game (someone suggested L3 fish surviving in a L2 environment) and perhaps the reason that you are able to bin it is because when you have researched the top levels you no longer need it?

I have a couple of spare user slots so will play identical games, one with and one without a seahorse. Watch this space...

I've been playing 2 identical games simultaneously. One with the seahorse and one without. I haven't researched any upgrades for either game.

I haven't found any differences between the two, though

1. Delicate fish deterioate at the same rate, regardless of whether the seahorse is in the tank or not.
2. I've made fish sick by overfeeding. Both games take exactly the same amount of food before the fish get sick.
3. Fish do not heal quicker because of the seahorse.
4. Fish do not sell quicker if the seahorse is in the selling tank.
5. Fish do not sell for more money if the seahorse is in the tank.
6. Fish do not grow faster nor have more babies if the seahorse is present.


I'm flumuxed. I don't believe there is an advantage to owning the seahorse. Other than it looks quite pretty in the tank.

So, LDW, if there is an advantage then please put us all out of our misery!

Please somebody tell us. Please? I want to know if it is worth the money of the sea horse.

OKAY everyone after being gone for like a YEAR I have realized THAAAAAT.... I was wrong. XD IM SO ASHAMED T-T
