Starcatchers are fish first available in Tank 2 of Adventure Mode, Time Trial Mode, and Challenge Mode. Starcatchers eat stars, which are produced by star guppies. They cost $750, and, upon eating a star, toss a diamond upwards.
Virtual Tank[]
In Virtual Tank Mode, starcatchers cost 2,500 shells in The Fish Emporium. However, starcatchers need manual feeding through the use of the "Feed" button because star guppies are not available in Virtual Tank. Brinkley and Cookie can be used to feed starcatchers in screensaver mode. After a starcatcher is fed three times, only then will it toss up a blue shell.
Trivia[]
- Starcatchers were very Crustacean-like in the original version of Insaniquarium; In the Deluxe version, they are more ambiguous and soft-looking, and lean more towards the appearance of a cepholopod, such as an octopus.
- This fish appears to have two mouths.
- Starcatchers have the second highest pitch death sound at a 25% higher pitch. It is only beaten by the Breeder at 30% higher pitch.
- In Virtual Tank Mode, when they eat stars 1-2 times, it will make the sound of a guppy and breeder eating a fish food.
- This and Beetlemuncher are the only fish that eats money.
