Updates
2019-08-12: They have again updated this event instead of making a new one, with more terrible gachapon and extremely high requirements. Added a new heading for the updates so you don’t have to hunt for the changes. 2019-06-28: Spotted Sunfish added, there’s a new non-hidden event fish added every friday for a while. Event lasts until the end of July. 2019-06-13: New “Hiding Fish” feature added; it’s part of this event. There are also new Fusion fish (not part of the event). IAP pig added. Video guide for new features:
2019-05-31: Video Guide made! Updated total cost
2019-05-30: The update appears to be live but is likely a slow rollout like all of them. Added total cost (thanks Pufferfish Planet!). Added exact requirement for the frogo.

Events slowly rollout (every time, yes it sucks), so don’t panic if you don’t get it. Expect it by the end of the week after it first starts rolling out. Events end at the end of the month and every month has an event now Currency from prior events will be preserved (but invisible) for later events, so feel free to save up. (Until they take it away again which they did twice…) 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.August Update
They’re killing me with these weird updates to existing events, so all the info for stuff added to the event in August is here. The event ends at August 27th now. Don’t expect a new event before september. Note the devs are idiots and this event requires lots of crossover with the Anniversary Event, including getting poseidon which is impossible in the time frame given (without spending pearls/money).New Expand Quests

July Hiding Fish Update
As part of an update released (slow rollout) on June 13th, there are 5 new Fusion Fish, and 5 new “hiding fish.” The Hiding Fish are a gachapon, and very rough estimates from Reddit suggest around 50 pulls are expected to get one of each fish. Keep in mind this could vary wildly.Limited Event Hiding Fish
These are obtained at random from paying either farm materials or Event Currency (just use whatever you have a relatively greater abundance of). The cost slowly rises as you buy more fish. The menu is accessed by tapping Tropical Quest at the top of the Saltwater Tank, then Find New Hiding Fish at the top of that menu. What you get is random, and once one of each is gotten you can get the Gold Sunfish. You get extremely minor rewards every 6 fish; just Gems and Luck Shell gachapon pulls.- Sheep Nudibranch

Video Guide
All Tropical fish exhibition video:
First, I love your attitude and how down to earth you are. Anyway, dragon.? Where tf do I get one of those I’m confused
Each event has it’s own guide (since until this one there was no inter mixing, which is now confusing do many people). It’s in the anniversary event guide, gotta 100% complete that tank
I’m lost, how do I unlock the band lobster?
it’s in the guide as always, this isn’t the anniversary guide https://sirtaptap.com/guides/abyssrium/tap-tap-fish-anniversary-event-2019-guide/
Hey my hermit crab is level 6 before I used him 15 times did I mess up?
As bad as the game is sometimes, there are no “missable” unlocks so never worry about that. Just keep casting it it still counts
I can’t complete the free farm materials quest as my game crashes whenever I try to watch an ad :/ But otherwise doing pretty good with the event
pretty common bug actually, try resetting your advertising ID on your device
I think you only need 3 tropical whales for the last quest by the way! And speaking of tropical whales, I have all 12 event fish and it still says I haven’t gotten them all (right next to the whale where it says “own 12 event fish”) and I’m not sure if this is a glitch or not? And yes I’ve gotten all of them during this event by using the currency.
I can’t seem to unlock the palm trees… do I need to complete 3 daily missions (if so, this isn’t working) or all the daily missions 3 times?
Yes you have to do it three times (which means it takes three days to complete)
Not sure what’s going on with the octopus 🐙 but I’ve clicked far more than 100 of the seahorses and still no octopus! 😔 Do you know?
In case you’re still missing it, keep going, don’t bother counting. The specific-fish-bubble unlocks always take way longer than people expect
You should probably update the fish list
what, the weekly sunfish? Who cares, they’re not hidden
Can you buy the Aloha Nessie for gems?
Thanks for the guide. Helpful as always. Wouldn’t know about
that new sunfish.
Sadly the crab system turns out bad than ever. Always change
what once already good. Not to mention the quest. And oh no.. look at the whale.
Not really into that design. And honestly the flamingo tube nautilus is creepy.
How many frogs do I need to unlock the glass jar ? I now have 9 vacation frogs :/ and still nothing
3, but only fish created after that branch of the quest count. You can’t unlock it out of order
I shared the picture of the galss jar but it isnt unlocking my fish for the challenge
Just so you know, it’s not “misspelled”, vacances is French for vacations.
Hi! Today June 28 th I was about to start playing “Tap tap fish” when I got a notification of a new fish from the June event. The fish is called “Spotted Sunfish” Does anyone know anything about this?
In an effort to drag out and overcomplicate events, they’re apparently adding one new fish every friday starting today. they’re in the event tab
I have one of each pirate fish but no kraken is showing up, do I need to do more?
I figured it out! I had won a pirate event fish in a roulette roll. So it hadnt counted.
I think I did the kraken wrong 🙁
if you got any pirate fish from the roulette or last year’s event, you have to re-create them fresh because the unlocks are ridiculously byzantine
I just started playing the game again and ended up starting over, buttt I feel like I’m just over thinking but what the heck does it mean when it says to “share the photo of glass jar” to acquire the cocktail bar ray??
Oh man starting over is absolute suicide and the game is so much worse, I’d just delete it honestly. But it’s a pretty simple request, just read the the guide
Guide you say??? Do you mean yours because I tried reading and I dunno if I just missed it or like I’m just silly: And I mean I still enjoy it so does my small child. But I just last time I played it I never really tried to events because I would always get stuck on like the forth fish. It is a very mysterious game sometimes: And I never tried expanding I just made fish lol
It’s in the guide, either search for the term or just scroll through the fish list it’s all explained there
I am also trying to figure this out. I have 2 vacance frogs and still no glass jar
Is the watch ad exploit broke? I’m on iOS and every I attempt it nothing changes?
pretty sure that was fixed a couple events ago
Is there any other exploit for event currency? This is kinda ridiculous at this point 🙁
Nope, the game is bad on purpose. Best you can do is use Nox Player and use a macro to watch ads without you actually seeing the ads
Hey guys so what’s the buzz with the new hidden fish? How are they unlocked? I read the little section above but I’m still a bit confused. Are they unlocked by spinning the shell? Or something else?
You might have to update to get it to show up. I had to. Then there will be a second tab when you click on the Tropical Quest icon on the upper left. You have to use event currency or farm materials to pay. The button will say “create life”.
Thanks a lot!
No problem 🙂
Wtf i unlocked the kraken but i don’t have the gold sunfish! I already have all the fishes (june event and fusion) so i don’t know why i don’t have the sunfish. Does someone have an explanation?
i unlocked the gold sunfish but the abyssal kraken still havnt unlock….what can i do to fix it
Apparently it requires one of each pirate fish too. Don’t have the last gachapon fish yet so I couldn’t confirm
Sir, One more condition to unlock abyssal kraken is you nid to make at least 1 of each pirate event fish in the fusion tab. i did it and unlocked it ady
If you got them last year you probably have to create one more of each this year
The daily missions aren’t registering for the expand quest, I’ve done 6 daily missions and none have counted?
Don’t complete them anywhere but the salt tank, and you have to be on that step of the quest
I’m in the salt tank and I am on that step
No matter what it will take 3 days if your doing it right you have to claim the pearl rewards
Oh I see! Thankyou
I’m trying to get Vacance Starfish too, and I created ten pirate event fish from the fusion tab, and it still isn’t unlocking. Is there something wrong with the game, or is it because of a slow rollout?
Im having the same problem! I think its a bug because ive fused like 20 pirate fish.
Hey so I’m trying to unlock the vacance starfish and I have 10 new pirate fish but it still won’t unlock. Tried restarting the game. Do I need 10 different types of pirate fish?
Might be that, someone must have tried by now, anyone know?
My starfish unlocked tonight. Unfortunately I wasn’t really paying attention to the popup box, so I’m not sure exactly what triggered it, but it was NOT creating pirate fish – I haven’t done that at all. I believe it may have been from watching the ad to get bananas a certain number of times.
The unlocked starfish does say “Create 10 Pirate Event fishes,” but this is definitely a lie.
How do I get the Pirate Ship Whale?
Lobster Hook. Not sure how I got him in fusion.
I think the fusion ones just all unlock the moment you have one of the base fish, maybe 2 of the base fish. None are hidden far as I know
how to unlock Cocktail Bar Ray? I don’t know what Glass Jar mean?
Is sharing picture of items like sand, wooden fence… right?
Yes. The Glass Jar is an Expand Item (like sand & wooden fence). After you put it in your Abyssrium, you take a pic of the jar, share, and Cocktail Bar Ray is unlocked.
I don’t have a glass jar in my expansion 🙁
Okay so I am not understanding how to get 5 sets of sand materials by watching ads? Can someone explain this to me, I’ve waisted pearls and urchins and clams and all that trying to figure out what it is I need to get 5 of..
If you mean the farm materials it’s under the shop tab third icon at the top
Yes that’s what I meant, you go to expand to get to it? Where the sand castle and terrain and seaweed is?
Go to ‘Shop’ then the third icon at the top (the one between the diamond and the dog face). The top item on the menu is watch ad to get free farm materials.
Firstly, I love these guides!
Secondly I think I messed up D: I grind my crab to the highest level soon as possible by buying large numbers of the cheapest fish. So far its always worked well in past events. But now I have the quest to use level 5 crab skill 15 times, I used it 3 times but still bought fish and leveled my crab. Now I have a level 8 crab and the number of skill uses in the quest isn’t going up, did I just seriously ruin the event quests the first night I played them?? ;_;
Mine was on 6 before I got to that and it is still working for me
“Vacance” isn’t spelled wrong, it’s French for “vacation”…
For the Aloha Dumbo, the devs decreased the amount of Ads you need to watch for currency from 15 to 5. You only need to watch 5 Ads to unlock it.
Thanks for the guide! Just FYI, ‘Vacance’ is not a misspelling, per se – it’s just wasei-eigo. Japan calls vacations バカンス (vacance) from the French ‘vacances’. The Japanese developers simply translated a loanword they already use into what they thought should be the ‘English’ spelling.
How do you create the pirate fish
Go to the event tab, click on the clown fish tab. They are fusion event fish. But FYI, creating a pirate fish takes away from the number of event fish required to level up the Hermit Crab. So level up the Hermit Crab before making the pirate fish.
