This article is about the fish that births guppies. For the Pet breeder, see Prego.

Breeders are rounded guppies with physically female traits. In Adventure Mode, they appear in Tank 4. They are colored similarly to regular guppies and have a larger, round abdomen. There are three stages of growth from baby to medium to adult. Unlike most fish, they do not drop money. Instead, they give birth to baby guppies.

Strategy[]

These fish always overpopulate the player's tank because they continue to produce baby guppies regardless of the player's choice. It's recommended to have a balanced amount of breeders to carnivores in order to gain a profit in the form of Diamonds while keeping the guppy population under control. Amp can also be used to obtain a large number of diamonds for a large profit that can easily be used to buy more Fish.

It is not recommended to waste a pet slot in Tank 4 on Prego because Breeders do the same thing, and can be bought.

Virtual Tank[]

In the Virtual Tank, when a Breeder has become an adult, the first guppy it gives birth to will be named after the breeder. (Example: if the breeder is named "Momma", then the baby guppy's name will be "Momma JR."). This special guppy CANNOT be eaten by carnivores and guppycrunchers, however, this only happens once, and the other guppies birthed CAN be eaten.

The JR. fish drops gold shells as a baby, blue conch shells when medium, spiral shells as an adult, and bags o' shells as king guppies. It shares the price (used to calculate the resale value) of the breeder. It will have the same likes as the breeder it came from and its home town will be "Virtual Tank". Also, instead of the purchase date, it will have a birth date.

Breeders in the virtual tank eat regular fish food as well as exotic food.

Trivia[]

  • There are many differences from a breeder and Prego:
    • The breeder swims faster as it gives birth and when it needs to eat.
    • Prego makes a fart sound when she produces a baby guppy, but a breeder makes a "pop" sound.
      • However, a breeder makes a fart sound when she produces a Jr. Guppy in the Virtual Tank.
    • Prego is always large, but a breeder can be small, medium, or large.
    • Prego wears a blue scarf with white polka-dots, whereas breeders do not.
    • Prego is invincible since she's pet, but breeders can die, able to be eaten by aliens, and need to be fed (like guppies).
    • Prego shows when she is going to produce a baby, but breeders don't.
    • Prego can be used in tanks other than Tank 4, but breeders are confined to Tank 4.
    • Prego appears to swim upright, while Breeders are more hunched over.
  • It is the only fish that produces other fish.
  • Breeders produce the highest pitch death sound of all fish, at 30% higher than the base pitch.
  • Breeders will eat Star Potion, but it has no effect other than feeding them (same as King Guppies). However this can only be seen in Sandbox Mode.
