# Chat

_Talking with other Aquarists across the reef, in the room you're in, or in private._
## Where you can talk
Chat lives in the bottom-left of the screen, inside the aquarium. It's one window with a few channels to switch between:
- General: one room shared by every keeper, with Trade beside it for buying, selling and swapping.
- General: one room shared by every Aquarist, with Trade beside it for buying, selling and swapping.
- Room: the aquarium you're looking at, yours or a friend's, or the Open Water place you're swimming in.
- Whisper: a private conversation between two keepers who follow each other. It opens at level 10. In Settings › Account you can also let any keeper of that level or above whisper to you, even if you don't follow each other. Choose Whisper to… in the channel menu to pick who from the keeper chooser, mutual friends first.
- A small blue dot before a keeper's name means they're out swimming in Open Water right now.
- Tap any name, your own included, to open that keeper's card.

In Settings › Account you can also let any Aquarist of that level or above whisper to you, even if you don't follow each other.

- A small blue dot before an Aquarist's name means they're out swimming in Open Water right now.
- Tap any name, your own included, to open that Aquarist's card.
- A Room message also rises as a speech bubble over the aquarium: above the speaker's fish if they have joined as one, otherwise at the front glass with their name. Tap a bubble to fold every bubble down to its speaker's name, and tap a name to open them again; this device remembers the choice, and the chat keeps every message either way.
- The gear in the chat bar holds its settings: which channels you see, who else is here, and keeping the chat open instead of letting messages fade.
- A keeper's card holds the same actions as everywhere else: Invite out to call them to where you are, Whisper, Visit, Gift, Follow and more.

Search by name, or switch between All, Following and Followers; Mutual marks a keeper who follows you back. Open it from the Menu or straight from the right-click menu. A friend out in Open Water shows the place and how long they have been there, for example Market · 12 minutes; each keeper can turn this off in Settings.

## Choosing a keeper
## Choosing an Aquarist
Wherever you pick another keeper (inviting to your school, sending a gift, whispering, visiting from Friends, the Coral Neighbourhood or Outings, or opening someone's stall) the same keeper chooser opens. Friends come first, mutual ones on top, then your school, who's online now (whoever swims in the same Open Water place as you leads), and the keepers you whispered, visited, gifted, traded with or invited lately. Each row shows their fish, school tag, level and where they are, with the action on the row. Type to search anyone by name; the arrow keys and Enter work too. Blocked keepers never appear, and a row says up front when something can't be done, such as a keeper already in a school.

Point at a row, or tap it on a phone, to see that keeper's card first: their fish, level, where they are now, their aquarium and how you know each other, with everything you can do with them. The search in Friends works the same way.

Find it at the top of Friends and Outings, in the corner list of every Open Water place, and on any keeper's card.

You hear the answer to yours: on their way, not now, or no answer in time.

Press Take snapshot in My Aquarium, or P by default, to open photo mode. It opens in an aquarium you visit too, and the visit stays read-only. The aquarium holds still on your screen while its clock runs on as usual, and the menus step aside while you frame. An Aquarist can switch visitor photos off in Settings, and photo mode then stays closed when you visit that aquarium.
Drag to frame and scroll or pinch to zoom, always inside the aquarium. Pick a filter, a frame and a shape. Equipment, need marks and selection rings stay out of the picture; switch on Show equipment to keep the equipment in. Smile drops a crumb only you can see, so a fish turns to it, and nothing about your fish changes. The shutter saves the photo to your downloads, and Escape leaves.

# Stall and trading

## What a stall is
Your stall sells to other keepers: packs of food from your [Pantry](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/stash) (50, 100, 250 or 500 g of one food at one rarity), your grown fish, eggs from your Pantry's tray, and potted plants from Plant Propagation (research), each at a price you choose. It keeps selling while you are away. Made decor from the Workshop and packs of materials can be sold too, but never tools. You can have one listing of the same good at the same rarity. Rewards never sell: Exhibition Ribbon, Sparkle Scale, Abyss Glowstone and Ember Opal stay yours.

Every pack on every stall is also on the Stall Board, at the stalls in Open Water's Harbour. Keepers visiting your aquarium see a Stall button in the dock when you have something on sale.
Every pack on every stall is also on the Stall Board, at the stalls in Open Water's Harbour. Aquarists visiting your aquarium see a Stall button in the dock when you have something on sale.
Your stall stands on a painted counter, with a paper tag hanging from the awning for each slot: tap a tag to change its price, see its offers or take it back, and an empty tag is where you sell. Offers and sales arrive as notes beside the tags, and each offer can be accepted or declined. Sell shows a shelf of your goods beside a price sheet. Market is a street of stands, one for each kind of goods; every food or species has its cheapest price and how many are on sale, and the ones you sell yourself are marked.
## The stall street
In Open Water's Harbour, every keeper with something on sale has a stall in a row along the front of the plaza: the painted counter with their name on its plaque and three of their dearest goods on top, each with its price.

Swim along the plaza and the street slides past. At its end a tag leads on to more stalls: swim on into the end, or tap the tag, and the street turns to its other side. Keepers you follow and your school's members stand first. Tap a stall to open it and buy.

When no keeper sells food, eggs or fish, the Food, Egg and Fish stalls are kept by the sea folk: Pip sells pantry food, Lumen eggs of species you have unlocked and Ollie young fish that have already hatched. Their stock changes every day at midnight UTC, each keeper may buy a few of each, and they cost a little more than the shop. Keepers' own goods always stand first, and Sell your own here opens your own stall.

## Trader perks
A keeper who has learned the Trader mastery can choose two perks for a mastery slot. Buy Order lets you post a standing order on the Market for a species of fish, at a price inside the stall’s usual range. The coins are locked the moment you post it. Any keeper can fill it with a grown fish they own and is paid the price less the 5% fee at once. The fish goes to your aquarium, or to your Pantry if the aquarium is full. An order stands for 7 days; if nobody fills it, every coin comes back, and you can cancel it any time for the same.

Stall Assistant lets you keep a list of packs from your [Pantry](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/stash), each with the price you want. While you are away, the assistant puts a pack back on your stall whenever one sells, using your normal slots, prices and waiting times. It only ever uses the list; nothing else is listed by itself. Packs it listed are marked Assistant.

Visiting is read-only. Visitors see the fish, the decorations and the water exactly as they are right now, on the same clock the keeper plays on, but they can't clean, decorate or sell anything. The one thing a friend may do is feed a hungry fish, below.

Tap a fish to read its card. The Journal button on it opens that species' wiki page, as on your own fish.
While you watch, you see what the keeper does as it happens: their shaker tipping food in, a new fish dropping into the water, a new decoration settling on the sand and a sold fish swimming away.

## Helping a friend
When you visit a friend (you follow each other) or someone in your school, a fish that is hungry right now shows Feed for @name on its card. It gets a free flake meal, served exactly as its keeper's own would be, so it eats on time; nothing comes out of their Pantry or their coins.

You earn XP for each hungry fish you feed, and the higher your level, the more it pays: the same as a hand meal at home. A fish is hungry only once per meal, so helping is about timing, not grinding. Your friend sees who tended their aquarium in their notifications, and finds a few coins from your first help of the day.
