Three things I've noted.

1. Fishing. Get yourself at least the Classic (#2) fishing pole and go fish at all the different holes, until you have an Emperor version of each type of fish (there are 13 spread out over the different fishing holes). Then you can hand those in on the top floor of the museum, and you will get the Master Fishing Rod, and then you're rich! You can just haul them in. It gets so easy that all the normal fish is just holding down the button, and only the King versions give a mild challenge.

I recommend the fishing hole between Portia Bridge and the Bassanio Lift, because it spawns Goliaths, which sell for 350 a piece, and 700 for the Emperor version! They're super easy to catch once you get the Master Fishing Rod.

2. Breeding Fish TL;DR I make 25.000 every 6 days in a single Large Fish Tank (not even the largest!) and it only took me 24-30 in-game hours of fishing. Now I can clone those sets of fish twice, siphoning the offspring into another tank until there are two sets of each in that one as well, and then make 50.000 each day. OH HAPPY DAY! Here's how to do it fast and almost painlessly (the first days with the Classic Fishing Rod are still a breeze, and only the King fish should be a great challenge at times.

When you get 2 King-grade versions of the same type of fish, put them in a tank, feed them 1 Bug Egg per King-fish per day, and 6 days later you get a free King fish = 5000 +/- market %. Always keep them a bit overfed :)

I have 2 King versions of 5 different types of fish in my Large Fish Tank. I chose the ones used in the foods I'm most interested in (yes, there are fish-grade requirements for food, so certain dishes require Emperor or King versions of fish!). I feed them 1 Bug Egg per day each, so 10 per day in total. I usually just drop 70 in after I have collected each spawn-cycle (it helps to put all the fish in simultaneously, so they spawn at the same time). Then, every 6 days or so, the fish spawn and I get one extra of each type added to my fish tank. Then I can take out those 5 new fish in order from the tank, and sell them on a good market day. I made about 120.000 bleeding the townspeople dry over 3 days, when selling the sum of my first set of spawns plus all the other fish I had caught while grinding for the Master Fishing Rod (it was just 24-30 hours of in-game time). It's really not hard to get. Just 1-2 days fishing 12 hours each day. Then you'll be pulling in thousands in Goliaths alone, but I also caught 3 King Golden Salmon and 2 King Goliaths in 2 days.

3. Flexible Fiber. Most of the clusters of animals spawn a mini-boss when you kill every enemy in the cluster or a set amount or something. Those mini-bosses ALL drop Flexible Fiber, which can be traded in the Clothes Shop for the best kind of clothes you have access to at the moment. In my case that's the level 42 jacket and pants, each costing 40 Flexible Fiber. That's 10 of those mini-bosses each. But when I sell the items back to her, I get 10.000 +/- market % per item! I sold my first two on a 139% day so I made 27.800 :D During the same days as the fish. I bought the land for 90.000 AND went from level 2 house straight to level 4 and Assembly Station 2 to 3 XD
