***Fish Tycoon*** is a [casual game](/source/Casual_game) created and developed by [Last Day of Work](/source/Last_Day_of_Work). One of the top-selling downloadable games of 2004, 2005, and 2006,[3] *Fish Tycoon* was later ported to cell phone, retail, and Nintendo DS.[4]

## Gameplay

Players take on the role of a fish store owner who must breed and care for hundreds of different kinds of exotic [fish](/source/Fish), all the while attempting to keep the fish store economically viable long enough to achieve the ultimate objective: breeding the Seven Magic Fish of Isola. The story for this game is that on the mysterious island of Isola there was a lagoon where the most magnificent fish swam. These fish were held together by the 7 magic fish but one day all of the fish have disappeared. Thus, the player has to cross-breed fish to rediscover the 7 magic fish, solve the genetic puzzle,[5] and "restore the island to its former glory."[6]
