Some rewards can only be unlocked if friends visit your tank more than 500 times (once per day). Some require 50 unique people to visit your tank.

The most onerous ones require your friends to buy something from your tank with Aquabux, the currency that is generated from each visit, or more rapidly bought through the Digital Leisure store. This is the most appalling “business model” I’ve seen yet in Home: Salesman of the month gets the rewards.

Devs should understand that we are not here to peddle their wares. I had money set aside for a fish tank, but I’m passing on them until they come up with a realistic reward structure.

I love my fishies! I have an 80 gallon tank at home and although I had a mass-suicide due to some rare disease from live food, I’m working on getting it back to its former glory. This though, this is a first-day purchase for me. Nice one DL, let’s just hope LKWD dont do to these fish, like they just did to Palace of the Seven Winds…
