Rarities & variants

What makes one fish worth more than another.

Every catch rolls a rarity. It multiplies XP, value and how hard the fight is — and rarity is what decides whether a fish can become tradable.

Variants

Besides rarity, a fish can be born with a variant — rare, they change how it looks and are worth more.

• Albino — milky white.
• Golden — golden scales, the aquarium classic.
• Aurora — a coloured shimmer; what the altars ask for.
• Giant — far bigger than the species should be.
• Shadow — dark, with a closed outline.

A variant makes a fish eligible to be tradable even at low rarity, and the breeding tanks can pass it on to the fry (25% chance).

Stars

Stars (1 to 5) measure how big that individual is for its species. They count in stage goals, in trophies and in the bestiary score.
