Tap Fish Cheats, Tricks and Fish Bucks for BayView' Fish Tapping iPhone Game

BayView Labs originally released their popular Tap Fish iPhone game in 2009, and this faux aquarium, fish-tapping game has become the addictive iPhone app of choice for thousands of Tap Fish lovers. In the game, you breed fish for gold coins, decorate tanks to boost your fishes' happiness, and spend Fish Bucks for exclusive items like extra breeding tanks and faster breeding. Don't depend on just your Tap Fish luck. Several Tap Fish cheats, tricks, codes and hints can help you win the Tap Fish game and expand your aquarium collection with new fish breeds.

Tap Fish Cheats Code #1: Free Tap Fish fish bucks

Fish Bucks are Tap Fish's proprietary in-game currency for buying exclusive items like new Tap Fish breeding tanks and Tap Fish fish breeds that aren't available with plain old Tap Fish gold coins. Normally, you have to pay real life money to get fish bucks, but several hints, tricks and cheats can net you free Tap Fish bucks. First, launch the game and click the fish buck icon in the top right corner of the screen. Scroll down and press "Free Fish Bucks." Your iPhone's Safari browser will launch and display several ways to earn free fish bucks. Tap each option to get your free fish bucks. In the past, Tap Fish cheaters have used the refer-a-friend feature to spam people and trick the game into giving out hundreds of free fish bucks, but that cheat code has since been disabled.

Tap Fish Cheats Code #2: Boost Your Tap Fish XP

Tap Fish XP lets you level up, unlocking new game features and services and fish breeds. Accelerate your rate of growth and leveling with several Tap Fish cheats and game tricks. First, release one egg in your Tap Fish aquarium. Wait for the fish to become hungry then feed it. This nets you the same amount of XP as feeding an entire aquarium. Repeat over and over until the aquarium is full of fish. In the end, you'll earn 50 times more Tap Fish XP than if you'd filled the aquarium and fed them at once.

Another trick to earning extra XP is by visiting your tank daily and cleaning it. Another Tap Fish trick for extra XP is tapping the empty portion of your screen. The Tap Fish game will reward you with bonus XP points. You can do this once every few minutes for unlimited XP and gold coins.

Tap Fish Cheats Code #3: Download Tap Fish 5 for Free Fish Bucks

Already have Tap Fish? You can get free fish bucks by downloading Tap Fish 5, the second iteration of the game, through Apple iTunes. This Tap Fish cheat will give you five free fish bucks, which is worth approximately 50 cents, as of April 2010.

Tap Fish Tricks: Revive Fish

If your Tap Fish dies, you can use a Tap Fish hint (not technically a Tap Fish cheat) to revive them quickly and bring your Tap Fish aquarium friends back to life. Click the arrow in the corner of the screen and press "Revive."

Tap Fish Hints: Use Inventory

Save yourself fish bucks and your hard-earning Tap FIsh gold coins by using the inventory feature for your decorations. Trick the Tap Fish game into giving you bonus free gold coins when you sell your fish by filling a tank with decorations. Instead of spending your gold coins on more decorations for each tank, simply move the decorations between tanks using the inventory tool. This will give you thousands of free gold coins, although it can't cheat your way into giving you free fish bucks.
