The Reef Journal
The in-game guide and its public twin: where to find it and what it holds.
Where it is
The Reef Journal is the notebook in the corner beside Aquariums and the Map (key 9 by default), and it is in the Keeper OS too. It opens over your aquarium, your fish keep swimming, and Escape or the round close button above the bookmarks closes it. Your phone's Back closes it too. On a phone it shows one page at a time, and the last tab under the close lists the chapters. Out in the kelp forest, the Pineapple House is its reading room, so you can open it there too.
It is the same guide as the one on the website at fishies.lol/wiki, written once and shown in both places, so the two cannot disagree. Every number in it is read from the game’s own rules.
What is inside
In the game the Reef Journal is a naturalist's specimen book with the Fishies cover on its front: it opens out of that cover, two pages open, and the page turns as you go, its sheet of tissue lifting with it. A wooden tab for each chapter runs along its edge; rest on one and a tag beside the book names it. Search finds an article, a fish or a decoration by name.
- Articles: every part of the game, with each rule explained once. Links inside the book stay inside the book.
- Fish: every species has a numbered plate in its habitat's drawer, and a ring shows how full each drawer and the whole book are, with a gilt badge once one is complete. An empty plate shows the faint silhouette and the level it unlocks at; open it to see where it lives and whether its egg is in the shop now. The first time you hatch a species, its plate fills in with ink. A fish's page shows its Latin name, its Stars and Care level, what sets it apart, its growth and sale facts, its home in the aquarium, a wax seal in the best quality you have had, a polaroid of your finest one, and your own record: how many live with you, how many you sold and at what best quality, when you first found it, and any you adopted or released. Plates of Gold and better are gilt. See Stars and Care level.
- Decorations: drawers by habitat too, each plate with its price, unlock level and category and a note on caring for it. In the game, a decoration's plate fills in once you have placed one.
On the website
On the web the guide is at fishies.lol/wiki. Anyone can read it without an account, in every language the game speaks: see Languages. The Keeper OS lists it with the other sites of Fishies: see Keeper OS.
