2017-10-18: There’s a good image showing how rigged the Luck Shell is on reddit. I strongly recommend not even bothering with the luck shell at all unless you need to watch an add for the Daily Mission. Statistically speaking it’s a waste of your time.
2017-10-17: It’s looking very likely we’ll be getting a Halloween event with new and old fish, so don’t waste your Leaves. They carry over.
2017-10-16: I started a guide for A Girl Adrift, a game very similar to AbyssRium, in case any players want to check out that guide, ask questions or submit info. It’s another idle game that’s even fish-focused!
2017-10-12: The Fall Event is said to end October 23rd! That would seem to leave just enough time to start the Halloween event! There will be no in-game timer this time!
2017-10-11: Update your game! Star Striped Marlin’s spawn rate was raised to 100%!
2017-10-09: Introducing Mini Guides! Starting with a hidden fish list, and a Fall Event Guide, Mini Guides will be extra small, laser focused guides on a specific element of AbyssRium for easier loading, reading, and bookmarking on mobile devices. This main guide will still be kept up to date and considered the “bible” for AbyssRium info. The mini guides are just for quicker reference.
Added an Efficiency Chart to the Fusion Fish section thanks to /u/FarmerLesbian!
Noted a bug for the Fall Theme (stars don’t display on some devices, seemingly unfixable).
2017-10-03: I met my $100 goal on Patreon so ads on this guide were reduced! As readers like you help me hit $200 they’ll be reduced again! Thanks so much to everyone who helped!
2017-09-29: Server migration to Linode complete! Sir TapTap.com is now free from The Man (aka managed hosting). Sorry for any hiccups you may have seen, things should be smooth as undersea butter now.
2017-09-28: Fall Event seems to be out for most people now, and the can’t log in to google/facebook bug seems to be fixed in the latest update.
2017-09-27: Added Bonito and Red Lobster into the main Hidden Fish list as well so people ignoring the Fusion Fish section don’t miss them. Also it’s been found on Reddit that Tiny Luck Shell (and possibly the others) have a strong bias towards the Spring event fish vs the others.
2017-09-26: Added more videos to the Videos section including a fall event video and a video on the secret space theme! New videos are marked with (new) in the videos section.
Also, Google removed the app fraudulently swiping my copyrighted work.
2017-09-25: The AbyssRium Subreddit and /u/idlestate have discovered a Space Theme in the game! It exists only as a placeholder right now and cannot be permanently obtained. You can see it if your friends on Facebook have the Fall theme equipped before you have the Fall update, or if you install the fall theme then roll back your app version (not recommended!). It may be added for real in the future.
2017-09-22: Fall Event is in beta testing, a small number of users have it. Added info on the event. Host move is on hold, going to Linode now instead of Hostgator due to SSL issues.
2017-09-21: The livestream was fun, here’s the video archive! Added a tip in the Skills section about Midas Tap
2017-09-18: I’m doing a Q&A (or just chat & chill) livestream of AbyssRium on Wednesday @ 6PM Central! You can sign up for a notification when it’s live here. I’ll probably go for an hour or two.
2017-09-14: The best place to ask me a question is in the comments below, not on Facebook, Instagram, email etc. Updated the Comments header to better match this.
2017-09-11: Info about the new update should be largely complete. Reordered the Hidden Fish list to group by unlock condition and started bolding the fish names to make it easier to scan for specific fish.
2017-09-03: Updated the Fusion Fish section with preliminary info on the new update.
2017-08-31: /u/thefirstreddituser on reddit ran some numbers on the Tiny Luck shell, added their data to that section. Spoilers: Those ‘near misses’ the game shows you are entirely fake and the odds are exactly as bad as you’d expect. I’m honestly tempted to remove the section entirely or replace it with a warning to not use the luck shell, but for now, at least some numbers.
2017-08-25: Added a Credits section for my $10 Patreon supporters! Get your name on the list now by contributing! Also we finally know when the event is ending: it ends September 4th for me, but check the app and you should see an exact countdown timer now.
2017-08-10: Added a video for the Daily Vitality Ritual, a way to get the most out of the game in the least time per-day. It’s been long enough since the update I figure everyone has had Android quests removed; removed the relevant section, RIP best game mechanic. Demoted some headings to clean up the table of contents.
2017-07-30: Majorly updated the Videos section. Since this event is so bad make absolutely sure you’re using the best method to get cakes.
2017-07-25: Information for Anniversary Fish is pouring in already complete! That was fast. It’s extremely expensive, 270,000 candies to complete the list!
2017-07-18: Anniversary Event announced! It will start in August. Also, I’ve updated my Patreon so that when my next couple goals are reached, I’ll be removing ads from my site (and this guide) in stages! How it works is people who like my work can voluntarily pledge to send $X a month (even a buck helps), and once I hit $100 (currently at $84) I’ll reduce the total ad count by 1, then by another 1 at $200. If goals keep being met, this website will be 100% ad free for everyone! Contributing to the Patreon is also a good way to get “adblock forgiveness”, since I don’t block anyone who blocks ads and do my best to keep ads minimal and non-invasive!
2017-07-13: Sirtaptap.com is now a Web App! That means you can use Add To Home Screen (instructions here) on your phone and get benefits like offline cached access and faster loading.
2017-06-30: New game update, Fusion Fish! Added sections for Farms and Fusion. Might have to re-arrange the table of contents/sections but for now the info is there
2017-06-27: New info on notification fish Whale Shark which appears to require the Star Horn coral, and if you don’t get the fish sometimes you need to close the app and restart if the app was already running when the notification appeared.
AbyssRium posted some info on an Upcoming Update and new Fusion fish. Added a Fusion Fish section as a placeholder.
Added a “to top” button for mobile users to quickly hop back up since the guide is long. Use the Table of Contents, Luke!
2017-06-19: Added some info to the Customization section as users have reported finding the Halloween Potion/theme items after getting Ghost Fish in the Luck Shell. We’re still not 100% sure how it works as it’s inconsistent, but usually people get a Ghost Fish (the fish named Ghost Fish, not just any fish that’s a ghost) in the Gacha and on next restart of the game they have the theme items.
2017-06-09: Added info to Vitality Sources section (each fish upgrade costs roughly 3.5 times the prior fish) and a couple new achievement levels’ cost were found. Added notes that Check Attendance and Daily Attendance fish are not consecutive days. Take all the breaks you want.
2017-06-06: Updated info on Volcanic Eruption, turns out it’s last 10 levels raise taps per second not length. It sucks less now!
2017-06-02: Android Quests (and their easy gems) will end in 2018, thanks to /u/cikayelle for the heads up.
AbyssRium now updated with “increased chance of striped marlin”!
2017-06-01: AbyssRium straight up lied on facebook to 100k fans about the Striped Marlin spreading even more false rumors about it. Nothing in that post is true and I’ve added even more info to this guide and the Striped Marlin Guide to debunk it. Please do not spread false rumors about the Marlin, a lot of people are genuinely upset at their inability to get it and spreading false rumors is extremely bad. Please do encourage AbyssRium to hire someone who speaks native English and actually knows the game (I’d volunteer, lol) to handle their social media and localization so this stops happening.
2017-05-31: Some new info on Luck Shell regarding what’s NOT in it (premium fish) and the sudden appearance of Halloween Themes for some users. Added a couple more tricks in the cheating the clock section. Added newly found Luck Shell ‘exploit’.
2017-05-27: If you’re here because of the notification, see Luck Shell. It’s not quite as nice as the notification made it sound, sorry. Added some rough guidelines for the Collection feature.
2017-05-26: Some more Luck Shell (gacha) info. Started filling in the Collection info.
2017-05-24: Collection update is coming soon, and some of us have it already! Adding info now, here’s a video rundown. Added a possible fix for iOS users missing notification fish in Bugs section.
2017-05-23: Lots of Facebook users use this guide, so I added a facebook like/share box just above. It’ll help more people find the site if you care to like.
2017-05-22: I made a separate, dedicated Striped Marlin Guide to be a one stop shop to share with people confused about the Marlin. Posted a video on Playing AbyssRium on PC via Nox App Player.
2017-05-17: Added some more info on Expand items. Corrected Normal Fish info. Added suggestions for optimizing the daily missions.
2017-05-12: Various edits for presentation, reduced number of high-order headings to declutter table of contents. Added info on a couple new bugs.
2017-05-10: Discovered more changes in latest update (listed in Game Updates below), including new benefits for IAPs, faster gem ad cool downs. Discovered only 1 1000 year old blue whale can be bought.
2017-05-08: Corrected errors and finally completed the Normal Fish section’s requirement list. Updated the Striped Marlin info a bit. Updated info about the 10,000 year old blue whale.
2017-05-06: Expand update is out for everyone, added a new section.
2017-05-01: Added some info about coral’s strange vitality efficiency curve. Added some info since it seems some people can’t get certain hidden fish without sharing photos even though it only says to save/take them. Posted a video about the top 5 UI failures in Abyssrium.
2017-04-24: I posted a video talking about the Expand Update.
2017-04-13: Added info on total butterflies required for spring event. Clarified the January Fish unlocks to make it even more clear that the Coral are required even though they’re hidden fish. Added some FAQ entries and finished listing the Normal Fish unlocks. Also, the Abyssrium Subreddit finally has active mods (including me) and a new style! Check it out if Reddit is your thing.
2017-3-31: Misc updates on the Spring event. The Spring/Easter update came to my phone, so most people should have it by now! I’m usually one of the last. Updated Prized Walking Fish’s info, it seems to have been re-added for new players.
2017-3-30: All Spring/Easter Event fish found!
2017-3-29: Spring Event started! Only 2 hidden fish are undiscovered. Added info on Midas Tap to Skills. Spoilers: It kinda sucks, don’t buy it. Also added a tip in Misc Tips for iOS users to get gems faster. A couple additions to Credits.
2017-3-24: Added some info on corals to the Vitality Sources section.
2017-3-16: Spring event coming soon! My phone is dead and hasn’t been repaired yet, so I might be a little slow, but as always submit any info you know that’s missing and I’ll add it as soon as I can.
2017-3-7: Added Videos section for visual learners.
2017-2-28: Added Translation option (just above) for non-english users. Note fish names may not be translated accurately, and it’s all automatic translation so errors are expected.
2017-2-27: New tip for Striped Marlin
2017-2-17: Clarified the notification fish situation
2017-2-16: Cleared up some confusion in the January Update Fish section, hopefully. Added all normal fish.
2017-2-14: Reduced number of headings in the Table of Contents, added shortcut to the comments. Added Normal Fish section because why not.
2017-2-11: Valentine’s day update is out for everyone! Added info for Giftbox Dolphin, we should have all info for Valentine’s day’s event! Corrected Best Method for earning candies now that Seahorse AI is broken.
2017-2-10: Pink Whale shark found
2017-1-09: Valentine’s day fish added. Update isn’t out for everyone. Quelle surprise.
2017-2-07: Valentine’s Day event preview is on Abyssrium’s facebook. Should come soon. Minor edits.
2017-1-31: Backfilled the Game Updates section to show which fish were added when for the most part. Added a layout bug, and come clarification under “January Update” on the new Corals’ cost since a few people were confused due to how Abyssrium lists them.
2017-1-29: Important update on Abyssrium’s facebook page. They’re responding to fan feedback, announced a Valentine’s Day event, and they’re considering changing the name back to Abyssrium. As a personal request, please comment there (or @abyssrium on twitter) and ask them to change the game’s name back to Abyssrium. The new name sucks and I hate having to change my guide’s title to the current clunky mess just to help people searching via the new name.
2017-1-28: New condition for Manta Ray discovered
2017-1-26: Site issues out of my control, keep retrying if you have problems. Added Migaloo unlock.
2017-1-24: Major reorganization to keep things neater.
Legendary Sun Fish is apparently only back if you already unlocked it. Almost done finding the new hidden fish! Split out game and guide updates for easier reference and so I have a place to just cleanly state new features, since adding a new section for each update is no longer working. Expect a moderate rework of the guide eventually.
2017-1-23: Legendary Sun Fish AKA Survive Mola Mola is back!! I also noticed there’s a new third set of Surging Vitality achievements and vitality boosts.
2017-1-22: AbyssRium’s app has been officially renamed “Tap Tap Fish”, and I hate that. But hey, the January update came out.
2017-1-18: Upcoming game update! Read about the new update here on Abyssrium’s facebook. 25 new fish, coming right when the Christmas Event ends. It’s late in the game, but with the “best method” you can still get quite a lot of the christmas event done in just a few days!
2017-1-10: Created a video Getting Started In Abyssrium Guide. Prized Walking fish is no longer available as of 2-017-1-1. Changed wording around the ‘palette’ menu to refer to it as “customization” since “theme” was ambiguous. Forgot which year it was.
2016-12-20: A petition was started on Change.org to encourage the publisher to include a tie-in to charities protecting real reefs and aquatic life! Added info on a get-gems-quick exploit. Added some Math™ on the Christmas Event. New tip for the Striped Marlin.
2016-12-19: Documented new iOS feature: 3D touch produces a shrimp worth 10x Tap vitality
2016-12-14: Guide is back online with a business-class server! You can contribute to my Patreon if you want to help me pay for it. Minor style changes, noted The Wall AKA O Vitality in walkthrough, some various info, I believe about all there is to know about the Christmas event is now known.
2016-12-13: Site will be moved to a better (and more expensive) host tonight around 10PM PST, may be down up to two hours. Should hopefully be smooth sailing after that.
2016-12-12: Prized Walking Fish info discovered! Sorry about loading issues. I’m a one man shop and I guess the server can’t deal. Doing what I can.
2016-12-09: Added most christmas event info and all hidden Christmas fish! Still missing Prized Walking Fish (not a Christmas fish, but new).
2016-12-05: Some info on Quests (including a helpful bug?) and max levels for Magic Items/Skills. Corrected Facebook group links.
2016-11-07: Video guide for Halloween Candy farming. Date for end of Halloween event finally revealed (November 14th).
2016-10-14: After only a day, I believe I know just about everything to know about the Halloween Update! (except when it ends…)
2016-10-05: Finishing touches, I’m considering the guide functionally complete! Missing only 2 tiers of Check Attendance achievement and some unanswered questions about the Mahi Mahi unlock
2016-09-10: Added Achievements, added FAQ info
2016-09-01: Added Walkthrough
