There are several of these. Is there any way you can tell me how to determine how many of each type of fish are coming out of each type of water - only the ones that have decimals behind them and don't divide equally???

Thanks.

Hi NJones,
Obviously you don't get equal amounts of each fish. They are weighted toward getting more of the ones used the most. No there isn't any way we can tell you how many of each you get because there are belts for the fish which makes the amount you get variable.

Another variable would be how much bait you have. Bait doubles the out put for each water that you have bait for.

The third variable would be the belt bonuses. They are not always the same as if you look at those they say "up to" a percentage meaning you do not always get the same amount from the bonus.

Hi sorry, I put it in the wrong area. I did not hire a stranger to fish my farms I fished my own thus the reason I am asking about the billions in difference from day to day. I do not have bait nor do I exchange the gifts for bait. All belts are at 7 for all the fish so why the variables in the coin amount? Thanks in advance

Hi Nettie,
The number of each fish is a variable in itself. You get the total number of fish for each water but the amounts of each fish type can vary due to the bonus belts. As it says with the belts you get "up to" the percentage extra fish, but you do not always get the full percentage.

As you do have the Fish Farming Plants you do get bait. You currently have 960,700,953 fresh water bait and 876,486,105 salt water bait.

Hi dave

I moved your post to the thread about Fishing and Bait.

You have lot of water items in your farms but your data only shows a few baits for each type.
If the waters didnt have enough baits when you hired, so they only got 1 fish instead of 2, then that is why you got less coins.

I apologies if the answer is here but i over looked it. I have a question about the fishing plant and gifting of the bait, a friend of mine pointed it out to me and I noticed that the bait from the plant does not go to the water but the gifting bait does. does the bait from both the plant and gifting go to help the fishing jobs just "logged or stored" different.

Hi Lance,
That is not true. Both go to the waters. The only ones that don't are the ones you get from other's bonuses that you help with and collect part of.

Thank you Taz. That is what I thought

Hi Bratuski

You can't do that.

Gifted bait, bait from your fish farming plant and any bonuses you get from posting your own bait bonus gets stored with waters.

The exception to this rule is any bait you send to a friend when you click on their bonus post, your share goes to storage, which you can use to stock the Fishing Tackle shop if you own one or just sell at market.
