Fish breeding

Fish Breeding may seem more complicated at first than it really is. Simply put, there are a few different species of Fish that can be caught in wild via Fishing, while others can only be gotten through Breeding. Different fish produce different products, or can do different special things for you. To get started with Fish Breeding you are going to need, a Fish Feeder, an Incubator, a male and a female Fish, as well as some Bait(not Minnow) or Fish Meal to feed your fish. In order to get breeding you are going to need to build a Fish Tank using the Fish Feeder and some hard blocks. There are three different sizes of tanks, but the default size will do for most of your Fish. Some of the more advanced species require larger tanks. See the Fish Tank page for a guide on how to setup/build your Fish Tank. Once you have that all setup, place your male and female fish in to the Fish Feeder that should be in the center of your tank, then provide them with Fish Food and they should start 'living' out their little fishy lives only if the tank is 100% suitable to them. (See the Fish page for more information).

While living their lives out they will produce droplets and possibly another type of product. When the female dies she will produce a Fish Egg and a raw version of her main species, while the male will just produce a raw version of himself. You can do whatever you like with the raw fish, eat them, use them in recipes, melt them down to Fish Oil or whatever. The Fish Egg however, should be placed inside of an Incubator. While in one of those, the machine will run and each time, a little fish will try to hatch from within the egg. Once the egg has reached the end of it's life, it will check how many males or females it has generated. If it has generated neither of one, It will create that fish on it's last leg. So by this, a fish Egg is guaranteed to always produce 1 Male and 1 Female Fish.

Now that you know the basics, you should try crossbreeding different species of fish. Often you will end up with hybrids of the species but there is a chance for each fish to mutate in to a whole new species, opening up more products and goodies for you.
