To Fish Tank?

[Coffee Cat]

I'm sorry if I missed the tool tip but I can't find it anywhere and I was just wondering, after each dive you can pick a fish to put in the tank.
What does that do?

Thank you and sorry for missing the tip during the game.

Sounds like you died. They only let you keep 1 thing after running out of air.

You should fill your weight with the best things you can find, and then find one of those blue spinny things to leave safely, or swim to the surface to climb onto the boat.

Make sure to use all the oxygen you find down there to stay alive for longer. Barrels, clams, yellow chests can have bottles too.

I didn't die.

After each successful dive you get a dive log that tells you what you caught.
After that dive log, you get an option to pick a fish or cooking ingredient 'To Fish Tank'.

I took a picture if that helps.

I guess it just mean “put everything in storage/inventory “ since i never find sth suggested otherwise

You aren't picking one. You can move the selection up and down so that you can scroll down to see everything you got, but sending to fish tank sends all of it.

It's not an option. The fishes that show up in the tank come from roe. You can't put fish that you've fished up in there.

I've taken a short video of what I'm talking about to help with the miscommunication.

This doesn't just happen when you die. It happens after every successful dive.

It asks you to put something in the tank and gives you a selection option.
It is not a dive log.
You do get the same screen on death, but this is different.
There are no other ways to continue.

Brother in Christ its not an option or do you see any other way to continue? thats just your dive report

thank you!

I agree with OP, it is not clear. Thanks for the answers!

I was a little confused too. It just looks like you're supposed to pick fish to put in the tank but it's just showing you what you got, haha.

I understand how it works, but I actually wish it worked the way OP thought it might - pick what you want to send to the tank the same way you're asked to keep or cook seahorses.

Since you're dealing with limited space back in the tank, I'd like to make sure that space is available for breeding tuna, sharks, specific recipe ingredients, etc.

Instead I have to routinely sail over there just to clear out all the smaller catches. I take it we could kill most things and not worry about it, but you get more meat for a non-kill, which is why I routinely carry tranquilizer weapons.

the dialog is confusing. especially when I caught live fish somehow, either with a net or a tranq dart, it makes sense to me I could keep them live if I wanted, and the dialog makes it sound like you have an option if you can find the proper controls

Just to clarify how this all works again (and for future readers too because people have a really bad habit of necroing old posts in this forum), you do not have limited space in the fish tank. The fish tank is your inventory at the restaurant. "To Fish Tank" as a button is simply a more thematic way to say "Next screen please".

All fish caught during dives goes straight to your restaurant inventory. You do not have any choice otherwise. Only roe and roe equivalents (for species which don't produce roe) go to the enclosures in the fish farm. Whether you capture or harpoon/kill a fish, you still have a (equal AFAIK) chance to acquire roe. Larger and more valuable species such as tuna and sharks have a commensurately lower chance to acquire roe.

Thank you for being the ONLY person to answer the question coherently🙏🏽

I have 85 hours in the game and I have no idea what roe looks like or how you acquire it.

What am I doing wrong?
