Clyde is a blue jellyfish with purple tentacles with a slightly irritated-looking expression. He drifts around the tank and collects coins, and is unlocked in Level 2-1.
Behavior[]
Clyde drifts around the tank collecting coins and other items of value. He has advantages over Stinky as Clyde is faster, not confined to the bottom of the tank, and remains active during an alien attack. However, Clyde will tend to slide around if the player takes a coin Clyde was chasing, or if he misses the coin he was chasing.
In Tank 2, both Stinky and Clyde will collect stars from star guppies until a starcatcher is introduced to the tank. After that, neither pet will collect stars even if all of the starcatchers die out. In Virtual Tank mode, they will continue collecting stars even if starcatchers are added. Neither Stinky nor Clyde will collect bombs, beetles, or snot.
While Clyde is an improvement over Stinky, both can be used in tandem (optionally with Meryl) to greatly reduce clicking intensity for gathering money, especially in Insaniquarium (Original) with limited pet choice.

CLYDE THE JELLYFISH |
CLYDE, much like STINKY, likes collecting money. Unlike STINY, though, CLYDE doesn't collect money for just any lady. He is actually saving up to finally get his mother the operation that she needs. So just remember that every dollar left over at the end of a level might just go to CLYDE's mother's operation fund! |
Trivia[]
- Clyde, with Psychosquid and Cyrax, are the only creatures with tentacles.
- He is the only pet in the game that does not have a black sprite background.
- Due to his appearance, it is possible that Clyde is a reference to the ghost of the same name from the Pac-Man series.
