Selling fish & decorations
What fish and decorations are worth, and when.
Selling fish
Only living adult fish can be sold. A fish gives back its egg price plus its value by the hour: the hours it took to hatch and grow, times an hourly rate that rises with the level its species unlocks at (19 coins an hour plus 0.2 for every unlock level). Quick fish need you at the glass, so a fish that is ready in under 12 hours earns a quick-fish premium of up to double, and a fish of 12 hours or more never sells for less than 65% over its egg price. It also pays 4 times the experience you got for buying it. Its quality, colour, age and how well it has been looked after move the price up or down. Every species' base sale value is in the species catalogue, and a fish's card shows every part of the price before you sell.
A fish that was lost can still be collected with the Net, but it pays nothing.
Fish that were already in your aquarium when hourly prices arrived sell by whichever pays more, the old price or the new one, so none of them lost a coin in the change.
A fish fed on Workshop food or live food is Well-fed while that meal keeps it fed: sold then, it sells for 6% more. Its card wears the mark, and the price breakdown lists it. The price breakdown always has a Food line: the bonus while that meal lasts, or else the food it ate and what would earn the bonus.
Your level raises the price
From level 11, every level lifts the profit your fish make over their egg price, up to 168% more at the top. Newer species also earn more an hour than older ones, so as you climb, the fish you have just unlocked are usually the best to raise. That's why two keepers selling the same species can get different amounts.
Selling decorations
A plant or decoration sells for half its purchase price, rounded down, whether it's on the floor or still in your Storeroom. Moving one around your aquarium is always free.
Fish that are never sold
Legendary fish can't be sold, netted or given away.
