Nemo’s Reef Helps

We don’t just play Minecraft around here. Another favorite game is Nemo’s Reef. We’ve played this game for over a year (off and on), and I’ve kept most this info rather haphazardly in Evernote. The kids play too, of course, and they keep asking me for the skinny. So, I decided to put it on our site so they can reference the information themselves. Now I can say, “go look it up!”

final note: The images on this page are screen captures I’ve made from playing the game. I have the game loaded on my computer, my Kindle, and my phone. My phone is is “real” game where I’m currently at level 47. The kids keep asking me that too. So, I thought I’d throw that in there. :)

  1. Are there any up to date combinations? I can’t even see the ability to get some of the plants listed. And some of the combos listed here aren’t working, regardless of how many arrangements I try.

    1. I haven’t seen any updates for these combos, but I know they did work at one time because I did them myself. Make sure that the plants/decorations are touching each other. Other than, I’m not sure what to tell you. Good luck and enjoy the game. :)

    1. There are levels you have to reach in the game to unlock the plants/items to create the combinations. Nemo won’t tell you about them. The guest fish are different. You have to wait for them to visit, which happens at certain levels. Then, there are hints you can purchase with pearls for the guest fish.
