If you can't unlock a golden ticket... Read This
I've seen it asked a lot, so I'm making a post about it.

Having the achievement for all painted fish is not enough to unlock the golden tickets. The achievement only requires fish to Legendary rarity to unlock; whilst the golden tickets require the painted MYTHIC as well.
Thus 25/26 reflects the achievement but also shows that you do not have the mythic.

Thank you
I have several adult banded angel fish for the reef collection and that was the last fish I needed for the set and it's still not showing that it's unlocked for me. :crying_yeti:

Are they the painted ones? If not, that will be the problem; if they are painted, then you'll need to log a bug report is my guess.

Sorry if that isn't helpful; I only know from my own experience that I needed the painted mythics (still need 2) to unlock the golden tickets & that a lot of people aren't seeming to realise that the TOTAL painted fish is different to the achievement requirements - & are also getting inaccurate or incomplete advice from people, which was why I made this thread.

[Edit: Just saw your post (specifying PAINTED mythics) in another thread; my advice is to follow through with the developer. Sorry about that.]

do you happen to know how hard it is to get mythic painted?

Not statistically, but ... very. I've been playing since the game came out I believe (or very soon afterwards), & a couple I got ridiculously easily/quickly, but I am also still trying for 2 of them (not including the latest pack release, I've not started hunting it yet.)

For me, yes. I don't know about other people though.

For example I have the Golden ticket for that group open & the golden collection completed. However because I am out of enough money to buy the gold packs I do need, & am still hunting 2 of the salt water mythics, my freshwater search is currently for Rainbows from Freshwater Friends. I thought the balance of the RNG must be off I was collecting so many golden polka dot stingrays. I still have 21 & sold I don't know how many...

Not sure the exact stats but saw this from another thread on Golden fish (before Golden Tickets added)

Gold chance from slot 1-3 > slot 4:
Rare - 2.76% > 69%
Epic - 1.04% > 26%
Legendary - 0.18% > 4.5%
Mythic (not required for achievements anyway) - 0.02% > 0.5%.
Knowing this, and knowing the guaranteed Gold drop is 1 in 1024

Got almost all my painted mythics early on, painted colossal squid is my last and I'm at well over 200 normal mythics. I'm going to accidentally collect the full set of golds before I can get the golden ticket.

Hehe. So you'll have the honour of being one of the select few who didn't need to use a ticket! I'd be proud myself - I was close, but... Meh, I'm not above accepting help... There's still the rainbows to deal with! (Golden ticket increases that chance, too. **Increases chance, no guarantees - you may collect them all naturally before one shows in your packs, it just depends on the roll of the dice.)

I was having this issue, so I came and read this post. I settled in for a grind and bought my first tankful of fish. Instant Painted Mythic :)

& then there are the lucky ones!
Personally I've had a mixed bag. My freshwater painted mythics came fairly (comparatively) quickly; but I've got 3 saltwaters to get still - although 1 is the Pelagic group which I figure isn't unreasonable.
What I did notice with my mythics (especially plain & gold for some reason) is that once I had gotten one, I was inundated with the things! 😂
