1.0 Introduction
================
--------------------------------------------
These are terms that I will use in this FAQ
VT : Virtual Tank mode
BD : Backdrops
Er...thats all you should worry about, really.
---------------------------------------------
First off, what is Insaniquarium? It is a PC virtual action/arcade-adventure
game
created by Flying Bear Entertrainment and published by Popcap Games. I'm pretty
sure it is
only availible online. Its only $20, and although it is a little known game,
it's awesome. If
you want to buy it, check out www.popcap.com.
So what do you do? Well, its a very strange mix. Feed fish! Fight Aliens!
You'll have to
work from rags to riches with your fish. In most tanks you'll start off with
one or two
fish and a bit of money. Feed your fish till they grow, and then they'll start
giving back.
Once fish have matured, they expel coins which you must catch to cash in. It
sounds kind
of boring so far, eh? Well, it is...for the first minute or so. Then things get
interesting.
You see, you're fish are a prime target for seafood loving aliens, who will
warp into your tank
and attempt to turn your tank into a fish buffet. Using your trusty laser gun,
you're gonna teach
these guys a lesson. As the game progresses, the aliens get tougher. But at the
same time, you
can relax with your fish in gorgeous graphics and catchy seaside music. Explore
your tanks and meet
new fish. At the end of every level, you'll get an egg. What's inside? Hatch it
and find out!
The eggs contain Pets inside. Pets are sea creatures that are dedicated to
helping you out in your
adventure, from money to aliens to fish. Then, take abreak from the adventure
and check out the
Virtual Tank, where you can raise fish just like you would in reality. Based on
your computers
clock, you'll have to feed them every day to
keep them happy.
What are we waiting for?
--------------------
1.1 The Story So Far
--------------------
(The game doesnt give you a solid story, but it does give hints to the story
here and there. This
is my gathering of the story.)
Aquarium owners are in distress. It seems that strange aliens from space have
descended upon our
planet and are attempting to eat us entirely out of seafood! And they're
starting by devouring the
contents of every fish tank on the planet! This wont do at all. You're going to
have to get rid of
these aliens once and for all. But they wont just come to you. Raise your own
fish in your tank.
That will attract the aliens. You're going to need some backup, so try to find
the Pets. They'll
help you out in your adventure. Once you've gotten rid of the main horde,
you're going to have
to take on the motherbrain of the aliens. Good luck, bub.
Now grab you're trusty laser gun and get ready to kick some alien butt!
=======================
2.0 The Lay of the Game
=======================
First off, before you go about saving the world, lets figure out how to play in
the world of
Insaniquarium.
------------
2.1 Controls
------------
Drop Food : Left Click
Tap Glass : Right Click (doesnt do anything exept in VT)
Select/Grab : Left Click
Change Presto: Right Click
Cheats : The Keyboard...(see 7.0)
Fire Laser : Left click
---------------
2.2 How to Play
---------------
Heres your "Playing the Game 101" for Insaniquarium.
FEEDING FISH
Simply click somewhere in the tank to drop food, and hungry fish will go for
it. Food moves
down until it hits the bottom of the tank or is eaten. If it reaches the
bottom, it will dissapear.
Food is not free (except in VT), so dont waste it. Each time you drop some food
it'll cost ya $5.
It's best to drop food above fish, near the top of the tank. Try to upgrade
food quality and quantity
as early as possible, it really helps.
FIGHTING ALIENS
For you're basic aliens (Slyvester and Balrog), all you have to do it shoot
like mad till
they're dead. Later aliens require more advanced strategies. However, even your
first aliens
will take a little more planning then you expected. If you're not careful,
aliens will eat your
fish quickly. You have to "steer" them with you laser to keep them away from
your fish. Let me
explain. If you want to move the alien away from your fish, you'll have to hit
a certain part
of them. To move them down, you have to hit their head. To move them up, shoot
their feet/belly.
As you play, you'll get to understand it better.
VIRTUAL TANK

More will be added to this section at a later date.

3.1 Fish

__________________________________
This is how the fish section is arranged:
NAME: (The name of the fish)
APPEARANCE: (What it looks like)
COST: (How much it costs to buy)
LEVEL: (Which levels it appears in)
DIET: (What it eats)
HUNGER: (How often it has to eat)
DROPS: (What form of money it drops)
OTHER: (Other notes about the fish)
___________________________________
NAME: Guppy
APPEARANCE: Yellow with purple fins
COST: $100
LEVEL: All
DIET: Fish Food
HUNGER: Average
DROPS: (Medium: Silver Coin $15)(Large: Gold coin $35)
OTHER: This is your bread-and-butter mainstream fish. It will be your backbone,
and your main
source of income during many of the tanks.
NAME: King Fish Guppy
APPEARANCE: A large, blue guppy with a gold crown
COST: N/A
LEVEL: All
DIET: Fish Food
HUNGER: Average
DROPS: Diamond $200
OTHER: After about 8-10 mins. of feeding a large guppy with the lvl. 3 fish
food (vitamins), it
will turn into a King Fish Guppy. They are just like Guppys but they drop
Diamonds. They are perhaps
the best fish to have. They're easy to maintain and have cheap food, and give
lots of cash. However,
they're very hard to get.
NAME: Carnivore
APPEARANCE: Big black and red fish
COST: $1000
LEVEL: Tank 1 and 4
DIET: Small Guppies
HUNGER: Low
DROPS: Diamond $200
OTHER: The second fish you will meet, carnivores dont eat Fish Food. They eat
small guppies, which
means feeding them is going to cost you $100 instead of $5. They do however
drop about 2 diamonds
for every guppy they eat, so theres plenty of profit.
NAME: StarFish
APPEARANCE: A Bright Yellow Translucent Guppy
COST: N/A
LEVEL: Tank 2
DIET: Fish Food
HUNGER: Average
DROPS: Stars $40
OTHER: The third of the guppy variations, this guppy can be obtained by feeding
a large guppy (NOT
small or medium) a star potion, which cost $250. The potion MUST be fed to a
large guppy. It will
kill a small or medium guppy. The stars these fish drop are more valuable than
coins, but they
have a better use: feeding starcatchers.
NAME: StarCatcher
APPEARANCE: An octopus-like creature with a big hole on its head
COST: $750
LEVEL: Tank 2.2 till Tank 3
DIET: Stars
HUNGER: Average-Low
DROPS: Diamond $200
OTHER: DONT buy these unless you have a StarFish. It's best to have two
StarFish for every
StarCatcher you own, but its still possible to use a 1:1 ratio.
NAME: Guppycruncher
APPEARANCE: Grey crab-like creature with big red pincers on the top of its head
COST: $750
LEVEL: Tank 3.2 till Tank 4
DIET: Small Guppies
HUNGER: Low
DROPS: Gold Beetles $150
OTHER: Guppycrunchers are harder to feed than carnivores. Like carnivores, they
eat small guppies,
however they are crawlers, so they are limited to the bottom of the tank.
You'll have to lure small
guppies towards the cruncher with food until they're close enough for the
cruncher to grab. Luckily
it can jump pretty high, and can grab any small guppies in the lower half of
the tank. Nimbus tends
to make it hard to use crunchers since he sends food back to the top of the
tank, luring the guppies
away from the cruncher. Guppycrunchers release Gold Beetles, which work their
way to the top of the
tank and can be used to feed Beetlemunchers.
NAME: Beetlemunchers
APPEARANCE: Kind of like a big blue tadpole with arms
COST: $2000
LEVEL: Tank 3.3
DIET: Gold Beetles
HUNGER: High
DROPS: Pearl $500
OTHER: These guys love to eat every 15-20 seconds. They are very rewarding with
pearls which they
drop two of for every beetle they eat. They are also very expensive and will
die quickly if you dont
have a healthy Guppycruncher or two.
NAME: Breeder
APPEARANCE: Kind of like a fat, diagonal guppy that looks more feminine.
COST: $200
LEVEL: Tank 4
DIET: Fish Food
HUNGER: Average
DROPS: None
OTHER: These are basically Pregos. In tank 4 you wont be able to buy guppies.
You must rely on these
to produce guppies for you. They are very very helpful. With 3-4 mature
Breeders in your tank, your
guppy population will go from 0-20 in just a few minutes. Consider getting a
few carnivores to keep
your tank from overpopulating.
NAME: Ultravore
APPEARANCE: HUGE!!! As big as an alien! Red eyes, grey muscular body, massive
teeth
COST: $10,000!!!
LEVEL: Tank 4
DIET: Carnivores (Thats right, they eat carnivores.)
HUNGER: Low
DROPS: Treasure Chest $2000
OTHER: If you manage to get one of these big boys, keep it alive at all costs.
Despite their size,
they can be killed by an alien just as easily as any other fish. And it really
sucks when you spend
$10,000 on one and it gets eaten. They drop two treasure chests for every
carnivore they eat, meaning
you get a profit of $3000 every time you feed it. They are at the top of the
food chain so far, but
there is a fish that eats ultravores, crazy as it may sound...

3.2 Pets

_________________________________________
This is how the pets section is arranged:
NAME: (the name of the pet)
APPEARANCE: (what kind of animal it is)
USE RATING: (How useful it is out of ten, ten being very useful)
LEVEL: (Which level you get it in)
USE & OTHER: (What it does to help you, and other notes)
_________________________________________
NAME: Stinky
APPEARANCE: A snail
USE RATING: 8/10
LEVEL: 1.1
USE & OTHER: Grabs coins for you. The better coin collector in my opinion. Hes
limited to the
bottom of the tank, but i think he gets more coins than Clyde.
NOTE: Yes, Stinky does get angry and turn red if he doesn't catch/is prevented
from catching drops
for an extended period of time. If it happens to you, nothings wrong or
special, it just means you
might not need him after all.
NAME: Niko
APPEARANCE: A blue oyster
USE RATING: 6/10
LEVEL: 1.2
USE & OTHER: He creates a pearl ($250) every once in a while. Good for missions
where you need
money.
NAME: Itchy
APPEARANCE: A swordfish
USE RATING: 6/10
LEVEL: 1.3
USE & OTHER: Helps attack aliens. Good for early in the game when you're just
getting used to
fighting.
NAME: Prego
APPEARANCE: A breeder with a bonnet and lipstick
USE RATING: 8/10
LEVEL: 1.4
USE & OTHER: Gives birth to a baby guppy every now and then, helping to
populate the tank.
NAME: Zorf
APPEARANCE: A funny looking seahorse
USE RATING: 7/10
LEVEL: 1.5
USE & OTHER: Helps feed your fish. When a fish turns green, he'll spit out a
few lvl. 2 pellets.
NAME: Clyde
APPEARANCE: Jellyfish
USE RATING: 6/10
LEVEL: 2.1
USE & OTHER: Grabs coins for you. Unlike Stinky, he can go anywhere in the
tank. It sounds
better, but between the two, Stinky is better in my opinion.
NAME: Vert
APPEARANCE: Fish skeleton
USE RATING: 4/10
LEVEL: 2.2
USE & OTHER: Drops gold coins like a large guppy, and doesnt need to be fed.
Not very useful.
NAME: Rufus
APPEARANCE: Fiddler crab
USE RATING: 8/10
LEVEL: 2.3
USE & OTHER: Attacks aliens. Does more damage than Itchy, but is limited to the
bottom of the tank.
NAME: Meryl
APPEARANCE: Mermaid (the one you see at the main menu)
USE RATING: 8/10
LEVEL: 2.4
USE & OTHER: Occasionally sings and makes all guppies drop 3-4 coins at once.
If you have lots
of fish, this can be REALLY useful. Recently i dicovered her true use: Time
Trial. Take Meryl,
Presto and Seymour into Time Trial. Turn Presto into Meryl. Now get lots and
lots of fish. With
two Meryls, you'll be showered with coins every 30 secs or so. Awesome. This
will send your money
through the roof. Try to get Stinky, Clyde, or Nimbus from the Buy Random Pet
option to help you
out majorly.
NAME: Wadsworth
APPEARANCE: Blue Whale
USE RATING: 7/10
LEVEL: 2.5
USE & OTHER: Protects your small & Medium guppies. Good for people new to the
game.
NAME: Seymour
APPEARANCE: Tortoise
USE RATING: 9/10
LEVEL: 3.1
USE & OTHER: Makes all coins and diamonds move slower as long as he is in the
tank, giving you
more time to grab them. Suprisingly useful.
NAME: Shrapnel
APPEARANCE: Robot fish
USE RATING: 5/10
LEVEL: 3.2
USE & OTHER: Drops bombs which you can click on for $150. Bombs can kill fish
on contact.
Shrapnel may look cool, but he doesnt really help out to much. Best used by
transforming Presto
into him at the beginning of a level for extra cash, than transforming to
something more useful
later. In tank 4 when you have tons of fish, Shrapnel just becomes a neusaince
since he ends
up killing fish
before you can cash in the bomb.
NAME: Gumbo
APPEARANCE: Lantern fish
USE RATING: 8/10
LEVEL: 3.3
USE & OTHER: When aliens appear, gumbo uses the lantern on his head to lure
guppies away from
aliens. Pretty useful, but watch out when you're against Psychosquid or
Beletarus. He is
AWESOME in Tank 1. Take him into tank 1 and you'll never lose a guppy.
NAME: Blip
APPEARANCE: Porpoise
USE RATING: 9/10
LEVEL: 3.4
USE & OTHER: Blip provides you with a ton of really useful info. Shortly after
the beginning
of the level he'll open up all purchase options. When aliens come he'll display
a crosshair
showing where the alien will appear. He also shows a yellow arrow over hungry
fish that arent
green yet. Some people think he is the absolute best pet. I agree he's pretty
useful, but I'd
rather use him temporarily with Presto. Turn presto into Blip at the begining
of the level to
get all options, then change again.
NAME: Rhubarb
APPEARANCE: Hermit Crab
USE RATING: 3/10
LEVEL: 3.5
USE & OTHER: Snaps his claws at fish, keeping them away from the bottom of the
tank. I dont see
how this can be very useful, except maybe if you also had rufus and you wanted
to keep aliens
away from the fish while they take damage from rufus.
NAME: Nimbus
APPEARANCE: Manta Ray (AKA Sting Ray)
USE RATING: 8/10
LEVEL: 4.1
USE & OTHER: Catches food and coins at the bottom of the tank and send it back
to the top.
Good for giving you or your fish a second chance at catching coins or food.
NAME: Amp
APPEARANCE: A really cool looking Electric Eel. Looks like the Grim Reaper of
the Seas.
USE RATING: 7/10 if used properly
LEVEL: 4.2
USE & OTHER: After a minute or so of charging, you can click on Amp to fry
every fish in the
tank and turn them into diamonds. It will kill all your guppies, but give you
TONS of cash.
MAKE SURE YOU PAIR AMP WITH ANGIE. Amp will kill your fish, and Angie will
resurruct many of
them, and you still get lots of diamonds.
NAME: Gash
APPEARANCE: Orange Shark. Shark, NOT Pirahna. I dont know why some people think
hes a Pirahna.
USE RATING: 7/10
LEVEL: 4.3
USE & OTHER: Does the most damage to aliens of any of the attacker pets, but
will periodically
eat one of your fish. He is very strong against aliens, but I dont like the
fact that he eats
your guppies. Why? Because he doesnt eat just small guppies. He eats ANY size
guppy, even the
King Fish Guppy. And also, he is NOT a pirahna. It clearly says Gash the Shark
when you get him.
NAME: Angie
APPEARANCE: Angel fish with a halo. Oh brother ^_^.
USE RATING: 9/10
LEVEL: 4.4
USE & OTHER: Revives dead fish. Very useful. Angie plays an important part in
the storyline
at the end of the game.
NAME: Presto
APPEARANCE: Tadpole, changes into other pets.
USE RATING: 10/10
LEVEL: 4.5, after the final boss.
USE & OTHER: The most useful pet, hands down. Take him EVERYWHERE. Use him
ALWAYS. Why?
Because Presto is all the other pets combined. By right clicking on him, you
can transform
him into another pet. And another. And another. Right clicking Presto brings up
a menu around
the edge of the screen where you can choose which pet you want to transform him
into. You'll
know that pet is Presto because it says Presto under him. He needs to spend
about 15 secs after
transforming to recharge. Using Presto you can effectively have two of the same
pets in one tank,
doubling the efficiency.
-----SPOILERS BELOW!-----
Bonus Pets
These are pets that can only be obtained by purchasing them between levels.
They are not cheap,
so you'll have to work hard to afford them. Bonus pets generally arent very
useful (except for
Walter. Walter is awesome), they're more of a collecters item. When you have
all 4 bonus pets, though,
you can finally purchase the increased pet limit (see section 7.0).
EACH OF THESE PETS MUST BE PURCHASED IN THE ORDER THE APPEAR BELOW!
NAME: Brinkley
COST: 20,000
APPEARANCE: Elephant with a skorkel and scuba mask
USE RATING: 5/10
USE & OTHER: Brinkley is the first bonus pet you'll encounter. He is an
elephant...WTF is an
elephant doing in a fish tank?!? Well, he is kind of useful. Brinkley is the
only pet in
Insaniquarium that eats fish food. He wont die if you dont feed him though, so
dont worry.
If you do feed him, he will spout stars out of his snorkel, the same stars that
starfish drop.
Brinkley has a cycle for what he drops. Thanks to Keasha Wybourne for the info
I needed to
create this list cycle.
(the number on the left is how many times you must feed him, on the right is
what you get from him)
3. Star

12. Diamond / Blue Shell

102. Star

108. Treasure chest / Bag of Shells!
After you finally get the treasure chest, this cycle repeats.
NAME: Nostradamus
COST: 25,000
APPEARANCE: A nose. With a moustache. And a fish tail. OMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!?
USE RATING: 5/10
USE & OTHER: While I could bring up a good debate about whos strange idea
it was to make a nose a pet, I'll get right to the details. Nostradamus doesn't
seem to be all that useful at first glance, but since several people have
emailed
me telling me that he is useful in challenge tank, I have brought his use
rating up
from 3/10 to 5/10. He will swim through your tank, occasionally dripping snot.
Gross. If a hungry fish sees the snot, it will eat it, and display the word YUK!
beside the fish. Brinkley doesnt seem to mind eating the snot, however, and if
Nostradamus and Brinkley are in the same tank then fish that eat the snot will
turn into another nose, just like Nostradamus. The snot can also be clicked on
for
$1. Nostradamus also sneezes at aliens, which postpones their attack.
NAME: Stanley
COST: 30,000
APPEARANCE: A green sea serpent. When an alien appears he turns beige
and grows spikes on his back and his horns grow longer.
USE RATING: 7/10
USE & OTHER: Stanley is another pet that will attack aliens for you. But
Stanleys method of attack is perhaps the funniest of them all. He will
chuck a random sports ball (soccer, basketball, baseball, ect.) at the
enemy, hitting for some good damage. I also noticed that he will chuck
balls with lightning speeds at missiles from a Destructor and energy
balls from a Ulysses in an attempt to save the fish the alien was
targeting.
NAME: Walter
COST: 35,000
APPEARANCE: A short, stubby penguin with big eyes.
USE RATING: 8/10
USE & OTHER: Walter is a unique pet. When clicked on, he opens his mouth
and a spring loaded boxing glove pops out. Sounds strange, hmmm? If this
boxing glove happens to punch a mature fish, that fish will drop its cash
(or shells in VT). Also, if Walter punches one of your other pets, they
will perform their ability. Please note that ONLY CERTAIN pets will perform
their ability when punched by Walter.

3.3 Aliens & The Final Boss
---------------------------
____________________________________________
This is how the Alien section is arranged:
NAME: (the name of the alien)
APPEARANCE: (what it looks like)
LEVEL: (which tank they appear in)
DIFFICULTY: (how difficult they are to kill out of 10)
STRATEGY: (what to do to kill them)
____________________________________________
NOTE: Tank 5 refers to the tank you face the Final Boss in. ALL of the aliens
below appear in tank 5.
NAME: Sylvester
APPEARANCE: Black/Dark Blue with no eyes or feet
LEVEL: Tank 1 & 5
DIFFICULTY: 3/10
STRATEGY: Simple. Just blast away. He only takes about 15 laser shots. If he
eats one of your fish, he seems to be "full" and wont eat another one for a
few seconds.
NAME: Mini-Sylvester
APPEARANCE: A miniature version of Sylvester. Like, Duh.
Level: Tank 5 only
Difficulty: 2/10
STRATEGY: There is no strategy to this. Mini-Sylvesters only appear
during the final battle. They only take one laser shot to kill.
NAME: Balrog
APPEARANCE: A cross between a Lion and a fish
LEVEL: Tank 1, 4 & 5
DIFFICULTY: 4/10
STRATEGY: Not much harder than Sylvester. Trap him in a corner and blast away.
Like sylvester he gets "full" after eating a fish.
NAME: Gus
APPEARANCE: Looks like a REALLY fat Sea Monkey
LEVEL: Tank 2 & 5
DIFFICULTY: 7/10
STRATEGY: Now things get interesting. Gus can be a real pain in the ass the
first time you face him. He doesnt take any damage from your laser. He is a
fat glutton though, and will stop at nothing for food. Drop a trail of food
leading away from your fish, then just keep feeding ol' fatty til he explodes.
He doesnt get "full" like Sylvester or Balrog, so watch out. When he appears in
your tank, the cost of food temporarily becomes $0.
NAME: Destructor
APPEARANCE: 6 wheeled robot with rocket launcher
LEVEL: Tank 2, 4 & 5
DIFFICULTY: 5/10
STRATEGY: Destructor is limited to the bottom of the tank, so he cant freely go
anywhere. The good thing about Destructor is he cant kill fish by touching them,
so keeping him away from your fish isnt that big a priority. Instead, he shoots
rockets from afar to blow the heck out of your fish. When he shoots the rockets,
gun them down before they reach your fish, then turn your attention back to him.
NAME: PsychoSquid
APPEARANCE: An insane red squid holding various weapons
LEVEL: Tank 3, 4 & 5
DIFFICULTY: 8/10
STRATEGY: PsychoSquid is a tough cookie indeed. If you dont know how to properly
defeat him, he'll go through your fish faster than you can say "Holy ****!". He
doesnt get "full" like Sylvester or Balrog, and he is very fast. After about 20
laser shots, he will turn blue and stop attacking. At this point, STOP shooting
or
else he will actually regain health.
NAME: Ulysses
APPEARANCE: Cyclops Golem
LEVEL: Tank 3, 4 & 5
DIFFICULTY: 7/10
STRATEGY: Ah, I love fighting this guy. He's quite fun to fight. Like
Destructor,
he is limited to the bottom of the tank and attacks fish with projectiles. But
obviously hes much harder to defeat. Ulysses shoots blue energy balls instead of
missiles. These balls can only harm the fish they've targeted. With Destructor,
when you shot the rockets they just exploded and were no longer a problem. With
Ulysses, its much harder. If you shoot the blue energy balls he launches, they
turn green and fly in the opposite direction of the side you shot. When they are
green they are a hazard to ANY fish they touch. The balls can go very fast, and
can streak through your tank killing more fish than PsychoSquid. But, for those
of you who have played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, do you remember how
to defeat Phantom Ganon? You had to deflect his energy attacks back at him. Same
with Ulysses. Shoot the balls back towards him and they'll do massive damage.
NAME: Beletarus
APPEARANCE: A spine with a wierd skull on either end. Wierd.
LEVEL: Tank 4 & 5
DIFFICULTY: 8/10
STRATEGY: When Beletarus appears, you'll have to shoot his head. You can only
shoot one at a time, and once the first head is destroyed you can go for the
second one. Be careful, the spine can kill fish too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FINAL BOSS SPOILERS BELOW!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NAME: Cyrax, the Evil Alien Mastermind
APPEARANCE: A brain-thing with tentacles and four red eyes
LEVEL: Tank 5
DIFFICULTY: 10/10
STRATEGY: Here it is, the final boss of the game. Kill this guy and all the
aliens should leave Earth. Cyrax is obviously the toughest alien you'll face in
the game.
When Tank 5 starts, all your pets will be in the tank (Or are all of them
there? Look
closely for the missing one. Remember in the Pets section, I said one of them
played an
important role in the storyline?). The idea is to defeat Cyrax before he and
his minions
devour all your pets. As long as you have at least one pet left when Cyrax
dies, you win.
Cyrax is a bit of a problem because he himself moves very fast. Also, he
creates a
mini-Sylvester every 3 seconds, which can be a pain. Not only that, but a
random alien
or two will occasionally warp into the tank! So you're going to have to be
REALLY careful
not to lose to many pets. Luckily for you, your laser seems to have become very
powerful.
It shoots red blasts that kill a Balrog in only 5 hits. Phew. Anyway, ONLY
shoot Cyrax when
there are no other aliens, or your pets will die fast. When Cyrax spawns a
mini-Sylvester,
kill it quickly. When aliens warp in, divert your attention to them. Keep
pounding on Cyrax
and he'll fall soon enough. With Cyrax's death you are awarded with Presto and
5000 shells.
Each time you beat the game, the amount of shells you get by killing him
increases by 5000,
to a maximum of 25,000 shells. Pretty sweet.

3.4 The Fish Stories
These stories are funny tidbits about charecters in the game that serve no real
purpose,
other than that they are funny to read. They can be obtained by beating all the
challenge
tanks (you have to beat each challenge tank EIGHT TIMES to get ALL the stories).
THIS SECTION CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Stinky
Stinky knew from an early age the he was different from the other snails. He
had the
fever. The money fever. He was all about collecting money. But what does Stinky
need
with all that money? Stinky answers, "It impresses the ladies."
Niko
One question that always comes up when talking about Niko is: Why doesnt Niko
open his
mouth more often? There is a reason for this. Niko thinks that opening his
mouth may allow
demons to steal his soul. Therefore, he keeps mouth opening to a minimum.
Itchy
Itchy wasnt always the grizzled, alien-attacking warrior he is today. In fact,
he use to be
a watercoloring, vegan pacifist.... Until one day, an alien invaded Itchy's
tank. Itchy
tried to reason with the alien, but it wouldnt listen. The alien ate Itchy's
friends and this
is when Itchy swore a blood oath to kill all aliens!
Prego
Everyone knows Prego as the loving mother to a thousand guppies. But the
question on
everyone's mind is: Where did she get that exquisite scarf? Prego answers, "Oh,
this thing?
Son 183,241 gave it to me... no wait... it was son 183,240. I always get those
two mixed up."
Zorf
Some people wonder, Why doesnt Zorf ever upgrade to level 3 food? The reason is
that Zorf
thinks that most foods are too rich in fat and artificial preservatives. The
level 2 food,
on the other hand, is raised one hundred percent organically and has no
artificial flavors
or additives.
Clyde
Clyde, much like Stinky, likes collecting money. Unlike Stinky, though, Clyde
doesnt collect
money for just any lady. He is actually saving up to finally get his mother the
operations
that she needs. So just remember that every dollar left over at the end of a
level might go
to Clyde's mother's operation fund.
Vert
Some people are afraid to use Vert because they think that he is an undead
product of dark
occult forces and therefore may turn against them at any time. This is simply
not true.
Obviously, a bad skeleton would not give you gold coins. He would drop rat
poison.
Rufus
Rufus started his career as a dance instructor, teaching people how to do his
patented pop
and lock are routine. When his dance studio burned down in a freak acciedent,
Rufus became
a mercenary for hire, using his dance skills to amplify his already potent
natural fighting
ability.
Meryl
Meryl delights in thrilling audiences around the world with her virtuoso
singing talent.
She has never been able to measure up in the eyes of the carnivores or
ultravores, though.
These fish view her simply as another unoriginal corporate-sponsered pop star.
To her
critics, Meryl would like to point out that she has never sold out by making a
music video.
Wadsworth
Wadsworth has made quite a comeback since his accident several years back.
Hopelessly
addicted to plankton and abandoned by all his friends, Wadsworth lost all
muscle control
one day and accidentally ate all of the fish in his mouth. Since finishing
rehab four
years ago, Wadsworth has re-entrenched himself in Insaniquarium players' hearts.
Seymour
After beating the hare a few years ago, Seymour retired and returned to his
home in the
aquarium. Sadly, nothing would ever top his winning that race. Seymour does not
live in
the present as we know it. Look into his eyes and you can see that his mind is
stuck in
a hazy past... reliving his last glorious moment.
Shrapnel
When talking about Shrapnel, the main question is usually: What are the market
forces
of supply and demand that result in Shrapnel's bombs being worth $150? Alan
Fishpan,
chairman of the Federal Shell Reserve answers: This is a response to the
current low
rate on 30 year motgages, combined with the strong performance of the Euro
against the dollar.
Gumbo
Many critics of Gumbo say that he is a wolf in sheeps clothing... that he
simply leads
all of your guppies to one spot to make it easier for his alien friends to kill
them all.
Gumbo answers his critics by pointing out that the aliens have shown no mercy
in Tank 5.
"I am not nor have I ever been a member of the Alien party!" says Gumbo.
Blip
Blip wrestled for years with his psychic abilities. He was shunned as a child
by the
other fish who hated him for being able to tell when they were hungry. Then one
day, Blip
got a bad feeling about a certain area of the tank. He didnt tell anyone,
though, because
everyone was mean to him. After all the other fish were killed, Blip felt
guilty and vowed
to only use his powers for good.
Rhubarb
Rhubarb has often been accused of being the "worst pet ever". Rhubarb doesnt
really care
what his detractors think, though. He's not aiming to be a crowd pleaser. He's
not trying
to prove anything to anyone. He just wishes those darn fish would stay off the
ground!
Nimbus
Some people want to know: What's Nimbus' record for bouncing a coin up and
down? Nimbus
answers: "One thousand seven hundred and twenty-four times." Way to go, Nimbus!
Amp
Rumors have been circulating for years now that some companies have developed a
way to
make Amp turn water into diamons. Conspiracy theorists believe that it is
simple the
interests of the greedy diamond lobby that have prevented this research from
becoming
available to the general public. Amp is closed-mouthed on the subject.
Gash
Gash used to be one of Itchy the Swordfish's best friends until Itchy left him
for
dead in a violent alien attack. Now, years later, Gash roams the tank trying to
settle the score with the aliens and perhaps one day... with Itchy as well!
Angie
To most fans, Angie can do no wrong. But to a few there will always be the
question:
Why did she save this fish but not that one? How does she make her fateful
decision?
Angie responds that she tries to save all fish but for some, it was simply
their time
to go. "After all, if the entire tank were saved then the frame rate would go
down."
Presto
Presto is not actually a real pet. He was made up for the game.
Brinkley
Brinkley was a perfoming elephant for many years before escaping his cruel
circus
masters. Unfortunately, Brinkley could not escape his own voracious appetite. An
appetite for... food!
Nostradamus
Asked by skeptics whether he really is the nose of President Rutherford B.
Hayes,
Nostradamus replies: "Yes and no. I was President Hayes' second nose. His first
nose
was blown off in the Civil War."
Stanley
Stanley's seeming unlimited supply of balls are the scourge of alien missile
shooters
everywhere. Some players wonder why he bothers throwing balls directly at
aliens,
though. Stanley answers: "I like balls."
Walter
Walter masks his tremendous insecurities with sheer bravado and scrappiness. On
the
outside, this happy-go-lucky penguin seems to have not a care in the world. On
the
inside, he has a great big boxing glove which he uses to punch people.
Sylvester
Sylvester used to run a popular sushi bar in downtown San Francisco, but when he
discovered a mysterious wormhole that led directly to the insaniquarium,
Sylvester
sold the restaurant to pursue his lifelong dream: EATING ALL YOUR FISH!
Balrog
Many people want to know: How does Balrog manage to keed his hair so thick and
luxurious? Balrog answers: First of all, to keep the shine in my hair, I try to
avoid using heated styling tools. I also like to use a wide-toothed comb while
in the shower so that I can distribute my conditioner EVENLY. Finally, when
sleeping, I put my hair in a scrunchie to prevent breakage.
Gus
Many people wonder. What is Gus laughing about? Just what is so funny about
killing innocent fishies? He's actually not laughting about fish. It turns out
that Gus heard the following joke in 1984 and is still laughing about it: What
did the daddy buffalo say to his kid before leaving the house? Bison!
Destructor
Destructor was created many years ago by a brillian scientist to be a toy for
his favorite nephew. The nephew, unfortunately, was sadistic little boy who
like to torture his per fish. This is where Destructo learned his destructive
behavior. The scientist now readily admits, "Maybe it was a bad idea giving
Destructor those missiles."
Ulysses
One big "How Come" with Ulysses is, How come Ulysses doesnt just fire
already-deflected missiles? Wouldnt this kill more fish and get the job done
fasters? The reason he cant do this is complicated, but is essentially
boils down to a strict code of honor and fairness among cyclopses that
precludes such unsportsmanlike behavior... and also, he's dumb.
Psychosquid
Psychosquid's nickname was given to him by his ex-girlfriend. He could not
comprehend why their relationship was over. He kept calling her as if nothing
had happended. He would wait outside her door and ask what she had been up to.
This is when she started calling him Psychosquid to her friends.
Bilaterus
Hardcore Bilaterus fans often argue over which head is superior. Juky K from
Minnesota writes in: Obviously the pointy head is the brains of the operation.
The round head is just and overrated Christmas ornament." Bob J from Alabama
counters: "No way. Roundy is the MAN! Pointy is just along for the ride." Whoa,
easy there you two. This is one controversy that wont be settled today!
Minisylvester
Minisylvester was created by Cyrax to be a sort-of "Yes-Man" of "Toady".
Originally he sought to make a Minicyrax , but this plan was disastrous as
the Minicyraxes conspired to do away with their creator. Cyrax found the
Minisylvesters to be much more malleable to his will... or at least that's
what they have led him to believe...
Cyrax
After losing the lengendary Battle of Tank 5, Cyrax moved on and eventually
became host of his own late night variety show. Some people call it a cerebral
high-brow interview program, while critics have deemed it a
lowest-common-denominator sleaze-fest. There is certainly no end of controversy
to his show, and Cyrax wouldnt have it any other way.
==============================
4.0 General Strategies and Tips
===============================
~Practice
~Have Fun
~Feed your fish before they turn green, just to be safe.
~Carefully select your pets based on what you're getting yourself into.
~Spend alot of time in VT. There you'll get to understand your fishes likes
and needs for the main game.
~This game is still shrouded in mystery. I'm not the grand master of knoledge
here, so try to solve some of the games mysteries.
~Once you have Presto, take him everywhere. Use him always. He is without a
doubt the most useful pet.
~When you get an alien warning, try to herd your fish to one corner with food.
~Upgrade your food as early as possible.
~In the shell catching bonus game, try to get strings of shells instead of just
clicking randomly.
~Put Stinky, Zorf and Prego in your VT and leave it on for awhile to get lots
of shells, so long as you have fish, of course.
~Time Trial can really help you build your money making skills.
~The screensaver will be you primary source of shells once you get lots of VT
fish.

6.1 VT differences
------------------
(under construction...)
-VT is a virtual simulation of real pets in your home. You have to feed them
every day.
-Each fish is very important in VT. They have names, likes and dislikes,
personality, and needs.
-VT uses shells instead of $
-VT is probably the part of Insaniquarium that you'll end up playing most.
-VT can be passive: even when you're not on your computer, you'll be making
shells as long as that screensaver is running!

6.2 The Emporium
----------------
-Store Slots
The store has 8 slots. They appear as shown below. When you buy something from
a slot it will then say SOLD OUT and you will have to wait till tommorow to buy

6.3 VT Fish
-----------
===UNCOMMON TYPES===
TYPE: Singing
POSSIBILITIES: Guppy, Beetlemuncher, Guppycruncher or Carnivore (others?)
Singing fish will, after every three feedings, sing a song and display little
black eighth-notes floating up from it.
TYPE: Speedy
POSSIBILITIES: Guppy or Carnivore (others?)
Speedy fish, just as one would think, move around the tank very fast.
TYPE: Voracious
POSSIBILITIES: Guppy, Ultravore or Carnivore (others?)
These types of fish love to eat. They eat very often, and when they are hungry
and
the food they eat is somewhere in the tank, they will make a loud noise that
sounds kinda like a t-rex or something, and swim towards the food with their
mouth wide open. They will swallow their food whole and make a loud biting
sound.
TYPE: Rainbow
POSSIBILITIES: Guppy or Carnivore (others?)
These fish are really cool. They are constantly changing colors! It's like
having
a fireworks display packed into one small marine creature.
TYPE: Invisible
POSSIBILITIES: Guppy, starcatcher or Carnivore (others?)
Invisible fish aren't actually invisible, they are 'translucent'. For those of
you
who don't know what that means, it means that you can see the fish but you can
also
see through it.
TYPE: Exotic
POSSIBILITIES: Guppy, Carnivore, Ultravore, Guppycruncher, Beetlemuncher
These fish have special diets, be it chicken, ice cream, or pizza. A reader told
me that regular breeders, when hungry, will go after ice cream as well.
TYPE: EXTREMELY RARE
POSSIBILITIES: Only one I've seen so far is a Carnivore.
These fish are extremely rare (like, DUH). Technically they don't belong in the
RARES
section below, because they are a type, not a specific fish. Meryl's
description of
extremely rare fish in the emporium is "This fish is extremely rare. We hardly
ever
get them in stock." I don't know much about them, but my extremely rare fish is
a
carnivore with black top white bottom, eats other carnivores, and sings. Please!
If you see a fish in the Emporium with the description I mentioned above, buy it
and tell me about it!
===RARES===
NAME: Slyvester
APPEARANCE: Mini-sylvester (young) sylvester (mature
COST: 15,000

Food menu.

APPEARANCE: Blue with white fins
