Guppycrunchers are seen in Tank 3 of Adventure ModeTime Trial Mode, and Challenge Mode. Guppycrunchers eat small guppies. They give beetles to the player, which instead of falling down the tank, climbs up the walls of the tank. A beetle gives the player $150, and is also the food for beetlemunchers. The most effective way to take care and feed them is buy a baby guppy and drop food near the bottom of the tank to lure it since when a guppy is bought, they need to eat as soon as spawned so this technique is effective.

Virtual Tank

In Virtual Tank, a guppycruncher is sold in The Fish Emporium for 2,500 shells. A guppycruncher in Virtual Tank acts very much like a guppycruncher in other modes. A beetle it releases gives the player 7 shells.

Trivia
