Documentation - Sam's Fish Bowl (a Facebook application)

About your Fish

Your fish is very special and requires good care and regular feeding. The best way to maintain his optimal health and happiness is to make sure that you feed him once every day. To feed your fish, you simply click on the "Feed my Fish" button. Each time you feed your fish, you will not only boost his health, but you will also earn "Super Feeder Points."

Although you can feed your fish only once a day, you can also invite your friends to come and feed him as well. This not only gives your fish that extra bit of love and attention, but also earns you more super feeder points, as well as points for your friends for helping you out.

How Sam's Fish Bowl Works

Your fish is alive and living on Facebook every day. That means that you or your friends need to feed him on a regular basis. If not, his health will get bad. Each day that passes without food will make your fish weaker. You can feed him only once a day, however. Therefore, to keep your fish in optimal health, you'll need to ask your friends to help you care for your fish. That part is easy. Just invite them to add the Sam's Fish Bowl application directly from your fish's bowl.

Just to remind you, we will send you quick notifications at various times if your fish's health begins to deteriorate. As well, if he gets really bad, we'll let your friends know that you need help.

Let Everyone Know!

You can also add a badge to your profile page to let all of your friends and profile visitors know more about your new fish. This will let everyone know about your fish and get the word out so they can help you care for your fish.

Super Feeder Points

As you feed your fish and your friends' fish, you will earn Super Feeder Points for both yourself and your friends. You can always see who is currently doing well on the built-in Leaderboard. In the future, your Super Feeder Points are going to allow you to buy some cool stuff for your fish bowl... so keep that fish healthy!

You can also lose Super Feeder Points. If your fish's health drops below 10%, we will start deducting points from your account in order to care for your fish in your absence. However, note that a prolonged absence may result in your fish's moving out and finding another place to live. If this happens, all of your Super Feeder Points will be gone, and you will have to adopt a brand new fish on your next visit.
