Blip opens all of the available items to purchase not even 5 seconds into the game, indicates when your fishes are hungry, helps you locate where aliens show up, and indicates their health bar.Fittingly, the fishes in this mode drop seashells instead of coins and diamonds. Clamshell Currency: The Fish Emporium from the Virtual Tank uses seashells instead of the regular dollars used everywhere else in the game and provides the trope's image.Catching Some Z's: Walter the Penguin will do that after using his ability several times.Cat Smile: The Star Catcher sports an adorable one.As a result, rather than chomping on your named guppies, your carnivore feed on the nameless guppies that can be released any time at no cost. In the Virtual Tank, it is mentioned that store-bought pets will not eat each other.Also averted with Gash, who happily chomps on one of your guppies from time to time. Averted with carnivores, guppycrunchers, and ultravores, as they survive on guppies (the first two) and carnivores (the latter).Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: Stanley, one of the bonus pets, is afraid of nothing but badgers, aprons and badgers wearing aprons.Bioluminescence Is Cool: Gumbo the anglerfish, or at any rate his (Yes, his) esca.There's also Stinky, a male snail that wants to impress the ladies despite snails being genderless.

Artistic License Animal Care: Gumbo is a deep-sea anglerfish (illuminated esca rather than one which looks like a worm) and could not survive anywhere near the surface, much less in an aquarium.That way, if you accidentally click on him while feeding fish or collecting coins, you're not immediately screwed over. You have to click on Amp multiple times before he'll actually shock your fish.The hunger timer will pause during an alien attack, so you won't have to worry about fish starving while you can't feed them.Lampshaded with Stanley the Startlingly Small Sea-Serpent. Animals Not to Scale: Because all of the pets are roughly the same size, some pets can be really small compared to the animal they're based on, like Wadsworth the Whale and Brinkley the Elephant.
