HOW TO PLAY BOOTY GRAB
I'm sure there are forums out there for this, and if there is, I will update this, but for now, I'm making a journal about it. I HATE repeating myself over and over to a lot of people, so I figured I'd tell ya to go here instead. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me or leave me a comment. Thanks. Now, before I go on rambling here, I think I'm gonna tell ya what to do. LOL. razz
First of all, if you wanna play Booty Grab, go to the Communuty Tab at the top, click on Fourm Directory.
Now once you get to the forum directory, scroll down until you find Gaia Aquarium.
Scroll down and find a topic that has a lot of replies... ((The one I have selected below is one of my personal favorites))
Once you have found you a good forum to go to, scroll down, read the thread, know the rules and contests and such, just like any other forum... Now, once you scroll down and you see a tank that looks like this:
You can click on the tank itself or the Play Now. Once it comes up, it will show you which fish you'll be booty grabbing from. Then this will appear:
It will count down from 5 to 1 and you play the game. Move your mouse around and you collect as much gold as possible. Some times, you will get Hermit Cats, Pink Giftboxes, Blue Giftboxes, Brown Giftboxes, and they just recently added the PSP Raffle Ticket. Once you're done playing, it will say how much you've won... Basicly, kinda like this:
This picture, I have on on low quality, so it looks kinda... Bleh. LOL.
The reason why I have it on low quality is because with some tanks, they will lag a lot. SO, it's best to always have it on low quality, really...
Also, if you're using Firefox and playing Booty Grab for the first time, it will lag no matter what, and sometimes WILL boot you off. If there is a screen that pops up and says to explain what you were doing when you got booted, then tell them, "I was playing a game on Gaiaonline.com and it booted me out." After a few times of sending it, you shouldn't have problems with it. sweatdrop
If you'd like to see what it looks like when you play the game, click this. smile

Booty Grab = How much the person as made off their tank... Like, you know when you go to play Booty Grab and says 100/25 or what ever? The first number is how much you make and the second number is how much the person makes off your grab.
Fish Info = You can see if people have named their fishes, you can see the fish health and all that.
Tank Health = Over all tank health, meaning how much interaction the person does with their fish (feeding the fish, changing the song, temperature, and lighting - plus taps).
Tank Temp. = The tank's temperature the owner has it set at.
Sound = You can have the sound off or on.
Full Screen = To put it on full screen. If you wanna take it off full screen, hit the Esc key at the top of your keyboard.
Game Quality = It automatically sets itself to high quality. And when it's on high quality, it tends to lag for most people, so your best bet is to set it for low quality for it to run smoothly. ALTHOUGH, with some tanks, they just lag period, so just bare with them.
Tank Size = It automatically sets itself to large and it might be best to keep it on that setting, because when you hit small, it's a quarter size what the large is.
Add Comments = If you scroll down, you can add a comment and tell them how much you've made off their tank and what not. You'll have to enter a captcha to send in the comment.

Alright so after doing this for a few hours, here is a list of fish all up to date. The pictures are clickable. n.n Before you look at some of them, I must say this first... They took a lot of fish out of Phin Phang I guess to just clean things up - I don't know. With some of these fish, they do bring them back. For example, in 2009 they took the Dolphins out and months later, they were brought back, so if there's a fish you want that's not in Phin Phang - give'em time, they should come back and the price will lower a lot. Also, RIG fish are high trigger, but are rare to find. With high trigger fish, you pay a lot for them, but it's well worth it and they glow every couple hours more or less, means more for people to grab. Some of the high trigger fish also drop items. For example Prince Enki drops Enki Catchs and the Grunny Subs drop Pink Magical Giftboxes. Giftboxes give you random items, but the Pink ones (not sure if the blue ones do or not) give out alchemy items, as well as Enki Catch. Medium trigger fish don't glow as often or in that big of a group as high trigger fish do. Low trigger fish, they glow once a day and usually only one glows - it sucks. x-x;
ALSO! Know the gold system. Red Gold = +4 ; Blue Gold = +3 ; Green Gold is +2 ; and regular gold is just +1. lol. And by +4, +3, and +2, basically meaning you get 4 gold for each red gold rather than just 1 gold. With the high trigger fish, I listed the ones who give red gold first and it'll go all the way down the list in order.
NORMAL FISH
HIGH TRIGGER FISH
RIG FISH
(Zoey came in the Neverland RIG) 
(Cathulu came in the Poseidon`s Legacy RIG)
MEDIUM TRIGGER FISH
LOW TRIGGER FISH
HOLIDAY FISH/ OTHER FISH
(These guys only came out during the Skittles promotion they had in 2009 - they're worthless because they don't glow, when they die they give you a Skittles Necklace, but they're really rare to find. They also last 1 week, so they're really not worth getting)
(this little guy came from a game they used to have on Facebook called Ocean Party - they took it out about a year or so ago, so you won't see him around much any more - unfortuneately .-.)
The mini monsters from from the Aquarium Mini-Monster - first through fourth strike.
MINI MONSTERS
HIGH TRIGGER FISH
MEDIUM TRIGGER FISH
LOW TRIGGER FISH
And last but not least, the ever common lite fish. Light fish are just there for decoration really, they don't glow at all. Their drops produce either cheap items, more commonly found items, and/or if you're lucky, you can find some alchemy parts. You can take them to The Ole Fishing Hole and exchange them for the lite fish. Although, there's quite the over abundance of them, you can just get them when going into the Dumpster Dive or you can buy them in the Marketplace under "lite," and you can also find people giving them away or selling them in the The Gaia Exchange forums... They're all over. lol.
LITE FISH
And the last thing I have to add is that this is from my own knowledge - I'm sure there's guides out there, but I didn't look. xD I could be wrong with some of these, feel free to look and ask around if you'd like and you'll know more, but this at least helps give you a general idea of it all. I hope it helps! 8D heart
If you have any tips to add, questions, I'll be more than happy to update this and list it here for people to see. ^^
