The anniversary Event Tank is SEPARATE but active during this event, and required for the Summer fairy, see this guide for info on that event. All the unlocks are the same as they were last year, plus one new Quest which is added to the guide.4th Anniversary Event Hidden Fish
Unlike “quest” unlocks, these unlocks can be done at any time, but they will very often depend on customization items, other fish in the list, or expand quest items before you can unlock them. As with every single event, some of these require taking photos of or placing non-fish items. These are always part of the “expand quest” explained below, that must always be completed in tandem with the rest of the unlocks.Fish | Unlock | Cost |

Past Circus Event Fish
Oddly, this event includes the 2019 Circus Event Fish, which were released in March but skipped over in March 2020’s Retro Event. They’re under the Event tab, tap the “recycled clownfish” icon above the Manage Fish button to switch to the Old Fish tab. Like always, these fish are required for new fish unlocks! Look at their list as you play, if you can’t find a fish required for an unlock, it is almost certainly in here. They are Fusion Fish and unlocked by owning 2 of the current event fish that they require, there are no other unlock requirements for past event Fusion fish. The Feather Mask Cuttlefish is listed in the NEW event tab since it’s not a Fusion fish, even though it IS a returning fish, and it has unlock requirements.Past Anniversary Event Fish
https://sirtaptap.com/guides/abyssrium/tap-tap-fish-anniversary-event-2019-guide/4th Anniversary Event Quests
Cake Town Nessie Quest

Sweet Festival | Place a White Chocolate Cookie Expand item (See the Expand Quest, the icon below the Clam) |

Seasonal Fairy Quest
There are 4 fairies in this event, all extremely difficult to get and basically they’re an extra paywall on the event. The Winter fairy is literally impossible to get without IAP. Note only the Spring Fairy, which requires completing all Event Tab fish, is the only Fairy that’s part of a different fish’s unlock. She’s required to obtain the Cake Town Nessie. Also note the Summer Fairy, in the Anniversary Tank, is NOT time limited to this event, and can be achieved later (but you’ll need ads/pearls to open the tank after this event).Fish | Unlock |
---|---|
Spring Fairy Event Limited | Fuse 2 Feather Mask Cuttlefish Max 1 |
Summer Fairy NOT Limited | Complete Fairy's Blessing Quest in the Anniversary Event Tank No maximum count |
Fall Fairy Event Limited | From luck shells. Yuck. Odds: 0% Tiny Luck Shell 1.25% Luck Shell 6.5% Big Luck Shell Note the free Luck Shell spin from making certain amounts of Hiding Fish CAN give the fairy (if you're very lucky). If you have more fusion materials/event currency than pearls, perhaps try that. |
Winter Fairy Event Limited | 10 lines in Bingo Quest (Currently requires IAP. I recommend ignoring it) Max 1 |
4th Anniversary Event Expand Quest
These are all listed ingame. As always, the steps must be completed in order, and progress towards later goals may not count until prior steps are finished. These unlocks are listed in game in the special button in the bottom left corner under the Clam icon. If a fish unlock requires a picture of something that isn’t a fish, you almost certainly have to unlock it here and take a picture of it. Events generally require most if not all of these items be obtained to get some of the fish. After unlocking the 1 free copy of an item, you can buy more of it with pearls in the Expand tab (they do not show up in Expand until unlocked). The farther down the list, the more pearls it costs.4th Anniversary Event Gameplay
General Event Info
See here for how to use Nox Player to automatically collect event currency on a PC/Mac so you don’t have to destroy your fingers. We don’t know when exactly the event ends, but events are monthly now, so it will probably end just at/after the end of the month and the next event will follow within a week usually. The event is in the Abyss/Saltwater Tank like most events, and it will expire once the event time is over, but your event currency should roll over to the next event. This event plays basically just like the last 10 or so events, so hopefully you’re in the groove of things.Hermit Crab Levels
The Hermit Crab is the key to completing events. Buy the Event Dye in the Palette menu to unlock it, then upgrade it as soon as possible. The costs and earning rates of each level is listed below, but every upgrade pays for itself after a day or so, so don’t worry too much. Note you have to “buy” the crab in the event menu separately from the Dye, the button only works after buying the Dye.Level | Unlock | Cost | Production |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Buy event Dye | 0 Currency | 200 Currency/cast |
2 | 5 Event Fish | 500 | 400 |
3 | 10 Fish | 900 | 600 |
4 | 15 Fish | 1400 | 800 |
5 | 20 Fish | 1800 | 1000 |
6 | 25 Fish | 2300 | 1200 |
7 | 30 Fish | 3800 | 1400 |
8 | 35 Fish | 6800 | 1600 |
9 | 40 Fish | 9000 | 1800 |
10 | 50 Fish | 12000 | 2000 |
I’ve got a problem! How can i put a fish in the salt water??
Same way you always do, every time you go back to salt water tank there’s a huge pop up telling you that you can use manage fish to put your new fish in it. Manage fish is the only way to add or remove fish
I’m so confused on the cupcake house expand items. I dont know what it is to unlock the frappe fish
It’s part of the expand item quest, there’s one every quest. Tap the big icon at the bottom left of the screen
This event is farm material heavy but I can’t find the Auto Harvest. Did they do away with that? Harvesting and free materials w ad are the only ways to get them.
So I’ve had the problem a few times where I spin the big luck shell and there’s absolutely no chance of getting the fairy(like it doesn’t show up in any of the boxes, not that I just didn’t land on it. It just doesn’t show up at all). Is this normal?
The near miss slots are totally fake, ignore them entirely: https://www.reddit.com/r/AbyssRium/comments/7e35cd/how_deceptive_is_the_tiny_luck_shell_with_stats/
They mean nothing and not all items show up on the list either. It’s just a dog and pony show
I own all the circus event fish but the feather mask cuttlefish is still locked, how come?
Past event stuff basically never counts for anything ever. You have to make 10 species of circus event fish since THIS event started
Any idea why the large blue dragon showed up after I finished the “return of the guardian” quest, but, now it isn’t showing in my fish tab nor under the manage fish tab. Quest is completely finished. The one fairy showed up too & I hadn’t even started the fairy quest yet. So frustrating.
It’s just a cutscene, a terrible one I wish they’d remove. It just means you finished the quest you don’t have it. Keep doing quests and you’ll unlock them for real, but you still have to buy them with vitality
How did you make the baby sperm?
like it says at the top of the guide, the guide for the anniversary tank has the anniversary tank stuff https://sirtaptap.com/guides/abyssrium/tap-tap-fish-anniversary-event-2019-guide/
I downloaded Nox Player, but it doesn’t let me load the ads, which seem to be required for this event. Is there any way to fix that, or will I have to keep trying to do that on my phone (which hardly ever loads the ads anyway)?
You’re probably just getting the classic ad bug. Wait like 5 minutes after opening the app before trying to load the first ad https://sirtaptap.com/guides/abyssrium/tap-tap-fish-ad-crash-fix/
