Top 10 Best Fishville Fish for Gaining XP

Fishville is a game on Facebook where you buy fish, feed them, watch them grow and then sell them for experience points or XP. Each fish on Fishville has a certain number of XP that it sells for. Which one is the best for gaining XP the fastest? I figured out which how much time it took each Fishville fish to grow and how many XP you gained each time you sold the Fishville fish and came up with this list of the fastest XP gaining fish on Fishville. I didn't add in any Fishville fish that you need sand dollars to buy since sand dollars cost real money if you don't have any.

Note: I am level 18 right now so you may not be able to access each Fishville fish yet. Just work on gaining XP to level up.

Best Fishville XP Fish #1: Mini Dart Goby
The Mini Dart Goby grows in 5 minutes. These are great if you have time to sit around not doing much, when you are trying to unwind or when you are just bored.
XP gained for selling after stage 1 is 6 XP per fish.
XP gained is 1.2 XP per minute.

The downside to this fish is that they need to be fed every 10 minutes or they die. But if you have 20 minutes to play on Fishville (and make sure they stay fed) you can gain 24 XP per fish. In a tank that holds 15 Fishville fish, you'll gain 360 XP points per tank in 20 minutes.

Best Fishville XP Fish #2: Sardine
The sardine grows in 3 minutes. These are awesome if you aren't doing anything and don't plan on doing anything for 3 minutes.

If you have 12 minutes to play on Fishville and time to make sure your tank of Sardines is fed, in a tank that holds 15 Fishville fish, you'll gain 540 XP points.

Best Fishville XP Fish #3: Red Spot Cardinal
The Red Spot Cardinal grows in 15 minutes. If you have 15 minutes, skip these fish and go with the Mini Dart Goby. Let them grow to stage 3 and you'll gain more XP. But if you just need the time for something else, these fish will work also.

A note about the Scooter Blenny: Fishville neighbor read this article and scoffed that the Scooter Blenny wasn't on the list. So here it is...

The Scooter Blenny is one of the first Fishvill fish that you can grow for 24 hours. It sells for 261 XP per fish or 0.181 XP per minute. If you don't have neighbors and can't get to the Prawn Goby, the Scooter Blenny is your best bet for gaining XP when you can't be on Fishville for some time. There! I added it.
