There are a couple of possible things for you to do, depending on your inclinations.


 * Most simply, you could start over.  There are probably things you'd do differently, now that you know more about the game.


 * You could do research on some of the game mechanics.  For example, you could study the odds of getting an Ethereal.  If you've finished all five of the "natural" islands, you can make as many as 11 attempts per day to breed an Ethereal; that's almost 1000 in three months, enough for fair statistics.


 * If you're playing the Windows version, you can dig into the game's data files and see what you can learn.  (I don't know if this is feasible with the mobile versions.)  They're in plain-text XML (see: http://forums.bigfishgames.com/posts/list/260583.page) and describe all of the monsters' likes, breeding options, and so on... but missing any useful labels.  MONSTER_A has entity_id 64; it likes entities 70, 86, 95, 134, and 112.  Its monster_id is 1.  And so on.  With some work, it would be possible to figure out all of the connections between the monsters.  I'd be a bit surprised and disappointed if there weren't any special surprises lurking in there, along the lines of "if you breed X and Y, you can get the super-secret Blrrgrrrrll monster!"
