Rainbow of Fish and Bottom Dwellers Combined
(guide still in progress)
The Bottom Dwellers challenge was introduced in July 2014.
This was the final Pond Challenge introduced into Fairyland... your task is to attract the wildlife
which lives at the bottom of the Garden Pond - the so-called "Bottom Dwellers"!
As you would expect with this being the final challenge in the series, it is a pretty challenging one, so you should ensure that you have successfully completed the previous Pond Challenges before attempting it.
As you'll discover, part of the fun of this challenge is that you'll need to enlist the help of many
of the previous Pond Wildlife to help you complete it, which means that your planning/organisation
skills will be very important!

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' and after that attract the different coloured Guppies needed to colour our Corals,
so you will need to grow the relevant mushroom to RFH before going underwater.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Make sure the first of each Coral is ready for harvest (RFH) before removing from your garden,
you will NOT be able to move on if you remove it too soon.
6. 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.
7. Make sure you attract at least 10 of each of the Rainbow of Fish and at least 10 of each of the Bottom
Dwellers in order to move to the next one.
8. Make sure you have spotted at least 5 Tadpoles, Froglets and Frogs before you finish attracting the
Red Snapper.
9. 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.

Let's get started ...
We begin as if we are setting up for the Rainbow of Fish
Step 1
Plant the Agaric Mushroom and grow to RFH, or plant the mushroom in your Rainbow Rocks.
Step 2
Plant your underwater toadstool, then wait for the Mermaid to be spotted and magically transport your garden to the bottom of the garden pond for the remaining time, until the toadstool becomes RFH!
Step 3
Put out Veggies on any feeding tables and attract the Watery Seadragon.
NOTE: Watery Seadragon also eats Wild Berries and Tropical Fruits.

 |
 |
 |
  |
|
Step 10
Once you have attracted 10 Red Snapper, it's time to move on to the first Bottom Dweller, the Lobster, but first we need to do some frog breeding so we have the frogspawn that attracts Lobsters. To do that we now need to let the mermaid go RFH, so that we can go to dry land and attract land frogs for our first plate of spawn.

Retrieve the Grey Rocks from your storage shelves and place in your garden.

Step
Once you have attracted the required number of Red Snapper you can continue to attract them for as long as you wish or until your Pondweed becomes RFH. It is important that you leave your Red Pondweed in your garden until it is RFH, you can fruit dust it to speed it up. Harvesting the Pondweed will unlock the Orange Rocks ready for you to setup for Clownfish.
