# Levels & experience
_How experience adds up and what each level brings._
## Earning experience
Experience (XP) comes from looking after your aquarium:
- Placing new fish, and placing each kind of decoration for the first time.
- Feeding a hungry fish by hand. It pays more the higher your level, and a meal that fills the fish pays more than a top-up.
- Selling grown fish, and every bowl you take off the [Workshop](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/workshop) bench.
- Cleaning dirty glass, servicing a filter and giving a Remedy. Care pays more the higher your level, and a clean pays more for a bigger glass and for greener glass.
- Finishing [quests](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/quests) and earning [achievements](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/achievements).
## The ladder
Levels follow a rising curve, so each one takes a little longer than the last. Level 2 needs 106 XP, which usually arrives while you're still watching your first shop fish grow. The ladder goes all the way to level 100.
## Keeper titles
Titles mark the big stages of your journey, from New Keeper at the start to Keeper of the Blue at the very top.
## What levels bring
New species, decorations and [equipment](https://fishies.lol/wiki/equipment) unlock as you climb, and every ordinary species and decoration is yours to buy by level 99. Level 25 opens [more aquariums](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/aquariums). Along the way you also get more room for fish and decorations, and from level 11 a sale bonus that grows with every level.
Each level-up opens one screen: your new level up top, then each unlock in turn, with extra room and the sale bonus shown alongside. A single Keep going closes it, even after a jump of several levels. It waits until what you are doing is finished (a catch being sold, an egg being placed), and a jump of several levels shows the level you started from and the level you reached, with every unlock under its own level.
Rooms and places that open with a level, like Open Water, the Workshop and Schools, are on the dock and in the corner from the start, wearing a lock and the word LOCKED. Press one to see the level it opens at and how far you have to go; the lock comes off when you get there, and the level-up screen names what you opened.
## Every tenth level
Every tenth level gives three gifts at once: a title to show under your name, a free decoration from further along the Path, waiting in your Pantry, and a Room Upgrade Ticket.
A ticket pays the whole price of a room's next upgrade: the Workshop bench, the Pantry's holding aquariums, the Conditioning Box or a new expedition kit at the Jetty. Use it from the Keeper's Book, on the Keeper's Path tab.
## The Keeper's Book
Press the level ring to open the Keeper's Book. The Keeper's Path tab holds the Keeper Coral, your choices, your tickets and a list of the Path's stops you can filter: what comes next, the choices, the title levels or all 100. The Mastery tab shows your stars and your depth.
