Eggs & hatching
What happens between placing an egg and having a fish.
Every fish starts as an egg
Buy an egg in the shop, then tap the water where you want it. A shop egg hatches after 1 minute, right on time, even if nobody is watching.
An egg sent as a gift waits in your Pantry first, so its clock only starts once you place it yourself.
A newborn's first meal
A fish that has just hatched is hungry straight away. Give it its first meal to start its care cycle. Feeding & hunger explains what comes next.
Eggs from your own fish
A grown pair of one species can also lay an egg in your aquarium on their own, with no button to press. A bred egg hatches after twelve hours, or after thirty-six if you tap it and choose Incubate, which improves its odds; an egg from two gold or two diamond parents may start life a tier or two higher. Quality, condition & breeding explains when it happens.
