? RE: Aquariums

Hello, I've had several aquariums for some years now. I tend them daily, do whatever it says needs to be done,always have at least 26 fish in each. The problem is I have never once gotten [as a reward] any of those large fish shells that I've seen around. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Any help is appreciated:]

There's an awful lot of sea shells from various sources in game, but none as far as I know come from the Aquarium; can you put up a screenshot of the shell that you mean so we can cross check it for you?

ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............
I know where the shells are from and yes they do come from the tanks.... you have to let all your fish die.. as you loose the tank to a dead state they are the last reward...
I too wondered and asked hundreds of ppl and got nada til I went on vacation fo ra week and forgot 1 fish tank to put a flake in to hold it.... needless to say I found out where they come from the hard way.

Ahhh that would be why I've not seen them, I've never let mine die completely, only the odd accidental smaller death, he he...

Only time I get them is when I have 30 fish in the tank and fishes and tank is in a good state. It doesnt happen often. As I dont want them I dont fill up with 30 very often, but sometimes they hatch and tank gets full . It seems the biggest of the two is a bit rarer that the other .

You need all 30 fish to get shells. (Full Aquarium)

Tx all, that's what 've been doing wrong...once the tank gets to 28 fish I figure it's full, have RARELY seen where it says 28/30...guess that's the time to add 2 more fish:] P.S> sorry I can't do screenshots, but I think these nice folks know what I was talking about

Ok, so the consensus is the tank has to be full... There is 26 individual types (not including rare colours) presently, so the reason I've not seen them, apart from my Aquarium being permanently wafered now to protect the set I have, is that I never ran at 30 as I was spawning more to get the set previously... but wasn't the coming Publish (when they've finished ruining crafting with more complexity) looking at expanding the Aquarium? Worth bearing in mind if you're chasing shells, it may not be the same or even possible after they've changed the Aquarium to get them. Have one and cram it full of 30 not-rare fish then!
