Apparently it has to do with the spaceship/magic helmets..........I just got it to work with the gold spaceship but all the yellows were solids....every other time I tried at least 1 was a striped........So if you have the helmets just hope one of the boosters is not a yellow one, or lose them and then go into it.
I am playing on a laptop...through facebook......it updated to the mobile app looking version where the screen is smaller and the daily spin wheel is gone......the fish are so slow moving....it just flat out sucks.
