Insaniquarium
I've been having fun and killing time by playing Insaniquarium. It's this fun game where you feed fish, they give you money to buy cool stuff, fight alien enemies, and try to keep your fish from being eaten. And with a name like Insaniquarium, how could a neurotic fish like me resist it?

I just started playing this game yesterday and I'm hooked. But I don't know exactly how to feed the carnivore? It doesn't eat the fish or the fishfood.
I have been playing the deluxe version and I am wondering exactly what the "extra" pets do... I know that the nose drips snot and postpones alien attacks by sneezing, what about the penguin - what are you supposed to "punch" with it?

The fish I usually have are Gumbo, Meryl and clyde, blip or Nimbus

Hey for those who have Insaniquarium Deluxe Version 1.1 wot is that thing on the front screen going after the Ultravore? >.
.: Ryuunine said on March 28, 2005 01:38 PM :: link it :.Hey Hippydbtr u get them by doing the timed thing. At the end wen u win ur money it says at the top 'Buy Bonus pet no. whatever for whatever amount of shells' and thats where u get em from i have em all ^^
Hey i need help. I dont know how to defeat the big red octupus..when i shoot him it says stop shotting your only giving him health? help me plz
I have played through all 4 tanks all 5 levels in each tank aprox 12 times now. The best pest for tank 1: Niko, Zorf, Vert. Tank 2: Meryl, Niko, Rufus. Tank 3: Niko, Vert and Itchy or Rufus. Tank 4: Niko, Zorf, Vert. And for all the tanks of all the pets Presto is the best. I always have him with me in every tank. If you click your right mousebutton on Presto you can change him into any of the other pets. So I have him as Blip or Zorf at the start of a level to make fish grow faster or to make my options revealed earlier. And I switch him to Niko for money and into a fighter when aliens come. Smart trick: change Presto into Angie when facing D-type or U-type aliens. I usually never buy more firepower. Levels go quickier when you focus on the egg. To beat the red octopus you fire at him when he is red, and only when he is red. When he is blue and limp he can't hurt anyone and firing at him then makes him stronger. Try it when you have Blip in the tank and see for yourselves. It also helps to have stronger firepower to make the octopuss die faster. Or a fighter pet.
And your Ultravore feeds on Carnivores.
One Carnivore cost 1000 shells and when eating one your Ultravore gives you two chests of gold worth 2000 shells each. So you gain 3000 shells each time.
In the challenge tank it is worse; It's best not to have Blip in those tanks, because everything costs more by the second it is revealed on the top line. Utilise your fighters in these tanks; Itchy, Gash, Rufus -especially in the 4th tank. And always use Presto as a source of money when calm and Angie or a fighter when at war with aliens. Note: Angie can only revive fish she can see. Only fish killed by D or U-type and fish who has starved. I hope I have helped.
i want to know how do you get king blue fish?
The orange coloured fish turn into king fish after some time. It took aprox. one month for a regular fish to turn into a king fist in my virtual tank, but I only visit the tank once a day, and for a short time only, so it might go quicker if you take more care of your fish in VT than I do. I seldom use as long time in the game levels to get king fish, but if you play long enough your fish will metamorph into kingfish there as well. After 15-20 minutes?
.: pus said on April 20, 2005 04:03 AM :: link it :.Actually it takes 11-12 minutes because I know a cheat.
.: Vincent said on May 13, 2005 03:21 AM :: link it :.You can ask me for cheats if you want.
.: Vincent said on May 13, 2005 03:23 AM :: link it :.After you get the forth bonus pet you get the four pet limit. It's so cool you could have more combinations with your pets(my favourite is Prego, Blip, Gumbo and Presto it's the best because Presto can change into any other pet even bonus pets).
.: Vincent said on May 13, 2005 03:30 AM :: link it :.The best way to get past level 4 is to first breed lots of fish then when you have $1000 buy the carnivore then wait for your money to rise to $10,000 then buy a Ultravore. Soon you will have enough money to buy ALL the upgrades like food and weapon( it's best if you buy 2 Ultravore then you will earn about $6000 dollars for each feed, but also buy some breeders to keep your tank populated).
.: Vincent said on May 13, 2005 03:36 AM :: link it :.I recommend you get the silver trophy first then start he Challenge Mode(to get the silver trophy is to buy all the bonus pets, the 4 pet limit and the 7 virtual tank limit). Then use the combo I said about May 13 03:30am and you'll get past it no time
.: Vincent said on May 13, 2005 03:42 AM :: link it :.But I haven't tried it with tank 3,4 so try it it might be harder for those tanks because the prices will rise at an incredible rate so you'll have to experiment. If you complete all the tanks 8 times and 1 of your chose you'll gain a golden trophy and a lot of shells(you'll get extra shells if it got into the high scores e.g tank 1 2000 shells but originally 1000 shells.
.: Vincent said on May 13, 2005 03:48 AM :: link it :.The "thing" that's going after the ultravore is Sylvester the blue alien you fight with in tank 1.

.: Vincent said on May 14, 2005 09:41 PM :: link it :.How can I get rid of the alien atractor in VT? I want the food upgrade that comes after I buy the atractor, but I don't want the aliens in the tank. Seems like I can sell anything apart from the damn thing.
.: pus said on May 16, 2005 03:00 AM :: link it :.nevermind -I figured it out
It's just to un-enable it in the tank mode of VT-tank. Then it goes away and you can still get the food upgrade for VT-tank.

thanks in advance....
The only cheats which work on the online version are some of the ones in the Sandbox(these cheats are numbers but don't know if the numpad can work never tried it out yet). The cheats are 1,2,3,4 Or 5. 1 gives you a free small guppy. 2 gives you a free carnivore. 3 gives you a guppy with star potion inside. 4 gives you a starcatcher. If you wnat more try http://www.abby-cheat.com. but some of the letters don't work.
.: Vincent said on May 29, 2005 12:41 AM :: link it :.There are some cheats only for the full version. But they are for fun.
.: Vincent said on May 29, 2005 12:43 AM :: link it :.The full version cheats which I use is: space, void, zombie. Space makes the backdrop a space topic. Void makes the backdrop blank white. Zombie makes your fish look like they're dead. To reverse the cheats you type them in again while you're playing( you use these cheats while you play NOT WHEN YOU ARE ON THE MENU).

I'm playing the free web version but I still can't get past it x.x
The fully grown don't have to be blue to take the star potion. It only takes a full grown one to take it(an orange one). To defeat the alien in tank 2 which can't be killed by lasers is "signature G" or Glus for short, you feed him to death with fish food(it won't use up any money to kill it so don't worry).

If any of u need to know how to deal with U-Type aliens, here's how. First, start at it. When it shoots white cannonballs at your fish, you must shoot them to reflect them away from your fish. Otherwise, the cannonballs will kill your fish. When you shoot 'em, they will move in a line fron where you shot 'em to where the center was when you shot. Note: After you kill any kind of alien, you get a diamond. And always have Angie in your tank to recover some of the fish. For II-Type aliens,concentrate on both ends. Both can attack fish.Here is a quick list of which alien is what.
ENEMY:"lion" or sylvester
G-TYPE: feed to kill
D-TYPE: shoots arrows at fish
P-TYPE: red octupus
U-TYPE: shoots white cannonballs at fish
II-TYPE: shoot both ends to kill

Be aware that if you timetravel (change the date as mashu007 suggests) you virtual store probably will freeze and have the same things to buy until the date after you timetraveled to.
