FB: Do you play Fish World or Fishville?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
DD1, who's 3, and I have been playing Fish World (And I have a Fishville tank, too) on Facebook. We're having a lot of fun with it, buying new fish, scrubbing the tank, feeding the fish, etc. We've been googling fish names to see real pictures of the fish, or try to find fish that are similar. I can see it also being good for her math skills as we count the fish, count the red ones, count the striped ones, etc. and we talk about "earning" money scrubbing friends' tanks and selling fish and whatnot.

Any one else play?

I play Fishville and I love it. I showed it to the girl I nanny for (who's 4) and she was unimpressed. She kept asking, "But what do you DO?" It's not really a game of instant gratification so she didn't find it too much fun, I guess. I do like your idea of having her count the fish, and researching real fish, I have not done that with her.
However, she does really like Petville, which is by the same company as Fishville. Basically, you create a little pet and you can buy clothes for it, feed it, decorate and clean the house, and visit other friends you have on there. The pets don't die like fish, but they do run away to the pound if you forget to feed them. You can get them back though, with coins. Your DD might also like that if she likes Fishville/Fish World.

I played Fishville for a short time but I can get so busy sometime that I do not have anytime to take care of my fishes.

I just started Fishville! I like it because it's cute and doesn't take hardly any time at all. I haven't had any fish die yet. Do they die naturally or only if you don't feed them?
