FishVille is a virtual aquarium, browser-based, game available for Facebook. Produced by Zynga, the game features a fish tank that players must maintain, while breeding a number of fish. There are multiple levels, that are passed by tending to your aquarium, feeding and caring for your fish, and selling your goods. Passing a level will unlock new fish and items for your tank.

The Beta release was November 6, 2009 and has been viewed as as a success, as there are over 6,500,00 monthly active users listed. The concept is simple and unlike other games where you have to constantly watch and attend to your pet. On FishVille, you can check in on the fish in your aquarium, clean the tank, and feed and tend to your fish.

There are new fish and plants released on a regular basis and other items to decorate your fish tank. These items can be given as gifts to your neighbors, and bonus points are awarded for collecting neighbors. Since Zynga is the creator of FarmVille, Cafe World, Mafia Wars and YoVille FishVille shares some of the same components in its achievements, leveling, and prizes.http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=43764281453&ref=search&sid=1209908390.3121757775..1

The way most of the Zynga games are created using the simulation qualities of life and the competition between friends. The well proven coins levels and rewards will most assuredly be incorporated into FishVille.http://blog.games.com/2009/10/13/fishville-trademarked-by-farmville-creators/

The levels are earned by purchasing fish eggs.http://zblog.zynga.com/?p=1068

As soon as the eggs hatch, you will need to feed them immediately and get them off to a good start. There is a timer which tells you when they need to be fed again.

At that time (or before) you need to feed them or they will die. You will lose your investment if you let them die.http://zblog.zynga.com/?p=1068

Once the fish are mature a price will show on them if you hover the mouse over the fish and you can see the selling price. The more mature they are the better the selling price.

You will be offered chances to visit other tanks and clean or feed their fish and this will give you bonus points and coin.http://zblog.zynga.com/?p=1068
