You can get information on the bottom of the screen or all the information by long holding the screen I would say maybe it’s fun for kids because having a real fish is a bit of a struggle so this game I don’t think the fish will pass away because it’s a game but for little kids won’t find it that fun also maybe they won’t eat or something but in a couple of days weeds and snails will pop out it’s basically like life a bit bit yeah it’s okay it’s not too fun but hopefully you find this helpful. Also I just realized that at the bottom when it says feed rice fish you feed rice fish then they will start eating ### 5/5 — Fish won’t eat *2022-09-15* Idk why he won’t eat and idk how to get more fish ### 1/5 — Weeds *2020-05-08, version 1.07* It’s really annoying that you can’t control or cut of remove the weeds, they just keep collecting until you can’t see anything and makes it so it’s not even worth playing the game ## Frequently asked questions about Rice Fish ### How do I feed the fish in Rice Fish?
