FishVille Give Fish Love Guide

In order to gain the best of both worlds (as much coins as possible as well as getting the prize) feed all your fish first as per usual before clicking the heart (love your fish icon).

After you’ve clicked the heart, you gain one heart point and you’re one step closer to redeeming the prize. You can also redeem hearts when your friends share them on their feeds. Likewise you can share yours as well so that friends can collect. Everytime the “Love your fish,” icon shows up in your tank, you are eligible for a new heart point, once you click on the icon to redeem it that is.

Once you gain enough heart points, in this case 5 points for the Tierra Antheas, click on this icon that appears in your tank:

This will then take you to the screen I posted earlier on:

and the little lock icon would have disappeared and you will now be able to redeem your prize.

Hurry though as after 9 days your heart count will reset zero, after which a new prize will be made available, and you will have to start collecting hearts again from scratch.
