An auto-feeder hangs on the rim and feeds each fish from its hopper the moment it gets hungry. There are 3, unlocking from level 22 to level 48, and each holds a hopper of meals: one meal keeps one fish fed for as long as that food would by hand. The gauge says in hours how long the food will last for the fish you have now.
Feeder meals count toward quality just like the same meal by hand, but they earn no XP and no coins, so [feeding by hand](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/feeding) still pays more. A feeder never feeds your tutorial fish or a legendary fish, and when the hopper runs dry it simply stops. Refilling it with flake is free.

Grown fish get hungry far less often than growing ones, so a hopper lasts much longer in an aquarium of grown fish.
## Pellets and brine shrimp in the hopper
When you refill a feeder you choose what goes in: flake, free as always, or pellets or brine shrimp at their usual price. You pay when you refill, for the meals that go in. A meal costs what that food costs for the fish in the aquarium, averaged by how often each one eats. If your coins run short, the feeder takes as many meals as they buy. Flake is never refused.

A hopper holds one food at a time. Switching food empties it first: pellets or brine shrimp left in it come back as the coins they cost, and leftover flake is let go. A pellet or brine shrimp meal from the feeder does what it does by hand: pellets keep a fish fed twice as long, brine shrimp three times as long, put health back and count as a perfect meal toward quality, and the gauge counts that in. It still earns no XP and no coins.

A newly hatched fish needs its first meal. After that, a growing fish gets hungry again 4 hours after each feeding, or a third of its growth time after it if that is longer. A grown fish gets hungry far more slowly: a meal it eats once it is grown keeps it fed for 2 days.

Flake is free and always will be; the other two are an upgrade you choose, never a gate. If you pick one you cannot afford, the fish is fed flake instead of being left hungry. Their price is a fraction of the fish’s own, so they stay affordable wherever you are in the game.

## Too long without food
Hunger matters. A fish is lost if it goes unfed for 1 day or twice its species' growth time, whichever is longer, counted from its last meal or from hatching. Its card warns you when it's starving.
Hunger matters. A growing fish is lost if it goes unfed for 1 day or twice its species' growth time, whichever is longer, counted from its last meal or from hatching. A grown fish lasts far longer: it falls ill after about 5 days without food and is lost after 1 week 3 days, or about 1 week 1 day behind glass gone green, so a week away does not cost you a finished aquarium. Its card warns you when it's starving.
A lost fish can be collected with the [Net](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/net), but it pays nothing. Your tutorial fish and [legendary fish](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/legendary) can never be lost this way.

## Health keeps a fish alive
Every fish has a health stat, shown on its card and kept on the fish itself. Hunger drains it, and green glass drains it faster. Food and clean water bring it back, but slowly: one meal does not heal a week of neglect, so a fish that has been through a bad spell starts the next one already weak.
Every fish has a health stat, shown on its card and kept on the fish itself. Hunger drains it, and green glass drains it faster. Food and clean water bring it back, but not at once: health returns over the hours after a meal, so a fish that has been through a bad spell stays weak for a while.
Below sixty percent the fish is sick, and it shows. At zero it is lost. A well-kept fish empties exactly at the moment the old starvation deadline said it would, so nothing about ordinary care has changed; what is new is that health remembers. A fish in poor health also sells for a little less and will not breed.

## Six tiers of quality
Quality is what your care adds up to over a fish's whole life. Each meal is judged against that species' own hunger clock, so a three-minute goby and a three-day boxfish are measured by their own rhythm. A meal on time scores full marks, a late one less, and green glass takes a little off the top. A meal counts for the time it kept the fish fed, so feeding the same fish again and again adds nothing, and pellets or brine shrimp, which keep a fish fed for longer, count for all of that time. Meals from an [auto-feeder](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/filters-and-feeders) count too. A growing fish stops at silver: gold is earned once it is grown, after at least one more full meal as an adult.
Quality is what your care adds up to over a fish's whole life. Every meal moves it toward a mark made of five things: the meal on time (45%), clean glass (10%), clear water (15%), comfortable temperature (15%) and its home (15%), which is pieces of its own habitat and others of its kind to school with. Timing is judged against that species' own hunger clock, so a three-minute goby and a three-day boxfish are measured by their own rhythm, and brine shrimp always counts as on time. A meal counts for the time it kept the fish fed, so feeding the same fish again and again adds nothing. Meals from an [auto-feeder](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/filters-and-feeders) count too. A growing fish stops at silver.
[Water](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/water) sets a ceiling on top of that. Below 70% water, care can't lift a fish to gold, and below 50% not to silver either. Poor water never takes away a tier a fish already has; it only stops it climbing.
Once a fish is grown, its quality moves slowly. In a good home it holds, or climbs toward gold over a few days; in a neglected one, with green glass, cloudy or cold water and none of its habitat, it slips, slowly: even there a gold fish keeps its gold for about a week. [Water](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/water) also sets a ceiling: below 70% water care can't lift a fish to gold, and below 50% not to silver either. The ceiling itself never takes a tier away.
Where a fish lives matters too. Every species has a home, reef, rock, sand, weed or wreck, and every decoration and plant belongs to one. With two or more pieces of its home in the aquarium a fish gains quality a fifth faster; with none, a little slower. A crowded aquarium, a fish in poor health or one just placed also gain more slowly. None of this ever takes away a tier a fish already has.

## Selling many fish at once
The My Fish app in the Menu lists every fish you own, in every aquarium: its picture, name and species, stage and age, growth, food and health, quality tier and Grade, water temperature, origin, nature and lineage, and what it sells for now or once grown. The totals at the top add up what your whole collection is worth. Sort by value, Grade, age, growth, health, hunger, species or name, filter by aquarium, species, stage, quality or care, or search by name. Tap a fish to open its card.
Tick the fish you want to sell, or select all that can be sold, and the foot shows how many you chose, what they pay in coins and XP, and which species pays most. Sell puts them in the Net and opens Review the catch, so the sale works exactly like netting them one by one. Fish in another aquarium are sold there: the button takes you to it first. Adopted and legendary fish, eggs, lost fish and fish in the Conditioning Box are never sold this way.
