There's a trick to this game that's not in the documentation - the bigger the fish you eat, the faster you grow. The choices you make early on make a huge difference later - I started a game and kept eating only fish which were nearly my size. It took me much longer to reach level 7, but by the time I was there, I could eat blue fish. Compared to a game where I just ate any available fish, and in level 7 I could only eat the smallest of the purple fish.
So, take your time and avoid tiny fish! It will make the game a lot easier later on.
Because I was bored - here is a comparison between two fish at the beginning of level 4. They both ate the exact same amount of fish, but the bottom one only ate fish nearly his own size while the top one ate smaller fish.
This may not seem like that huge a difference, but remember - this affects how big the fish they can eat are. So, the bottom fish can eat even bigger fish and grow faster than the top one can.
