​A Rainbow of Fish

The rainbow of fish challenge was introduced in February 2014.
This is for those Fairylanders who enjoy a good longer-term challenge 
to complete (it's certainly not a quick "finish in 5 minutes" one!)
​

Where to begin ...

Before getting underway, it is good to prepare ahead so that everything goes smoothly.  The more you plan, the easier the task.
​

​Preparing for the Rainbow of Fish Challenge

​1. Read the instructions before you get started to make sure you know what is ahead of you.

2. It is wise to have all the spotting requirements finished for the rainbow of fish before beginning.

There are no spotting requirements needed to unlock the Red Rocks
To unlock the Orange Rocks, spot 5 or more Red Snapper in other Gardens
To unlock the Yellow Rocks, spot 5 or more Clownfish in other Gardens
To unlock the Green Rocks, spot 5 or more Yellow Boxfish in other Gardens
To unlock the Blue Rocks, spot 5 or more Green Wrasse in other Gardens
To unlock the Indigo Rocks, spot 5 or more Blue Damselfish in other Gardens
To unlock the Violet Rocks, spot 5 or more Triggerfish in other Gardens

3.  Make sure you have enough of the following resources:
     - Underwater toadstool seeds
     - Pink diamonds to purchase Wild Berries and your rocks from Ye Olde Fairyland Pot Shoppe
     - Jewel seeds for Supershrooms and guppy deterents
     - Gold to purchase the correct food for each Pond Mythological, as you may need to dump food to move one.

Important things to note:
1.  Make sure you have unlocked all your mushrooms up to and including the Pink Cap Mushroom.
2.  You will need to attract a different Pond Mythological first in order to plant the Pondweed for each of
     the 'Rainbow of Fish', so you will need to grow the relevant mushroom to RFH before going underwater.
2.  Make sure you have unlocked all your Forest Jewel Plants, as these are needed to help deter guppies
      which will increase the number of Rainbow Fish you attract.
3.  Make sure the first of each Pondweed is ready for harvest (RFH) before removing from your garden, 
      you will NOT be able to move on if you remove it too soon.
4.  If you have started frog breeding make sure you use a fully grown (FG) Dulcia somniflora when using
     Wild Berries to deter Underwater Frogs (high tables) and Froglets (low tables) if not wanted or needed.
     See the Frog Breeding Guide for more details.
5.  Make sure you attract at least 10 of each of the Rainbow of Fish in order to move to the next one.
6.  Keep an eye on the underwater toadstool to make sure you have enough time left on it, if it
​      becomes RFH your garden will return to dry land.
