Nintendo DS · 2007
About this game
Fish Tycoon is a software toy of sorts, in which you control a tank of fish.
To allow them to thrive and remain healthy, there are several upgrades which can be purchased, ranging from fish vitamins to fungal treatments to atmosphere-improving plants.

They must also be fed, by dragging the food into the tank.
Money can also be spent on improving your fish knowledge and business ability.
The player has limited money, which can be topped up by selling fully-grown fish.
The ultimate aim on each level is to cross-breed the fish in such a way as to reveal one of the many types of Magic Fish.
These are especially valuable to sell, and can help you finance a better tank.
However, they can be very environment-dependent, so keep research in mind.
The game takes place in real-time, even while not running, so make sure to leave adequate food if you will be away from it for a length of time.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Fish Tycoon for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Fish Tycoon to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2007.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Fish Tycoon has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
