+Each piece needs a little free sand around its root; leaves and branches may overlap, as in a real planted aquarium. Before you tap, the preview shows where it will stand: on a taken spot it slides to the nearest free sand, and it turns red when there is no room nearby.

 ## Moving things around
 
 Drag a decoration to a new spot whenever you like. To move several, choose Arrange in the shop (or press R): your fish step back until you press Done. Moving is free and earns no extra experience, so your aquarium is never really finished.

 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.
 
+## Feeding early
+
+Each feeder has a Feed at setting, on its card and under Manage. When hungry, the default, feeds each fish the moment it gets hungry. 25%, 50% or 75% feeds a fish once the Food reading on its [fish card](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/fish-card) has dropped that low; a fuller fish is never fed. The setting stays when you refill or upgrade the feeder, and changing it is free.
+
+Earlier meals use more food: at 50% each fish eats twice as often and at 75% four times as often, so the hopper empties that much sooner and pellets or brine shrimp cost that much more a day. Each choice shows how long the food lasts at it. Quality grows with the time a fish is kept fed, not with the number of meals, so early meals add no quality on their own. What they give is timing: care is counted sooner, Gold comes sooner after a fish grows up (most of all for slow growers on pellets or brine shrimp), and brine shrimp heals a sick fish faster. Feeder meals still earn no XP and no coins.
+
 ## Warnings before trouble
 
 The gauge warns you 12 hours before a filter starts to lose strength, and 12 hours before a feeder serves its last meal, so there's always time to act.

+# Daily reward and streak
+
+_The streak that counts every day in a row, how its reward grows, the milestone days, what a missed day does, and the first-dive bonus for Pearl Catch._
+
+## A streak that keeps counting
+
+Every day you play, your streak counts one more day and that day's reward is waiting. The Daily button at the top right opens it, and it also opens by itself once a day at a quiet moment, never over an open window, the tutorial or a level-up. One tap on Collect pays it.
+
+The reward grows with your streak, quickly in the first weeks and then more slowly, and it never stops rising. It also follows your level, so it stays worth collecting as you grow, and every day pays XP beside the coins.
+
+- A day is your own local day: the streak turns at your midnight.
+- The window shows your streak, today's reward, the next four days and the next milestone.
+- The credit and Remedy capsules you hold are listed in the streak window.
+
+## Milestone days
+
+Days 7, 14, 30, 60, 100, 200 and 365, and every full year after, bring a gift on top of the day's coins, and you choose which. The streak window shows each choice with its picture and what it is worth; one tap takes it, and a gift you have not chosen yet waits for you. Later milestones are worth more.
+
+- Care credit: coins kept for one kind of care and spent before your own. Filter credit pays filter services, feeder credit pays pellets and brine shrimp loaded into a feeder, food credit pays pellets and brine shrimp you feed by hand. Filter and feeder credit are offered only once you have that gear.
+- Remedy capsules, kept until a sick fish needs one: the next Remedy you give uses a capsule instead of coins.
+- On days 30, 100 and 365, and every full year after, you can take a decoration your level has unlocked instead, worth about the same as the other gifts, straight into your stash.
+
+## Missing a day
+
+Miss a day and your streak starts again at day 1. Nothing is taken back: every coin, XP, Remedy and decoration you collected stays yours.
+
+## First dives of the day
+
+Your first five rounds of [Pearl Catch](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/open-water) each day pay extra on top of the round's own reward: twice as much for the first, then ×1.8, ×1.6, ×1.4 and ×1.2. From the sixth round on, a round pays what it always does. The bonus needs no claim and comes back the next day.
+
+## Guests
+
+A guest collects the XP of every day. [Save your aquarium](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/signin) to collect the coins, Remedies and decorations too.
