psyph here. no you do not have to spend crystals in fusion, not in my brief experience with the game. i never buy dinos and my herd is small, having bred tier 1s and a tier 2 so far. you will spend coins to fatten them up before you have a good chance. i had to be realistic with how many i could afford to feed at the same time while playing free. frequent tax collection helps defray the costs. patience is free too.

BUT the only way to get a dino Pet to stay on your map is to pay large. the Pet is the dino that does not fuse with the others. i have seen one visit my map somehow by mistake but It would not stay ;-(

good luck!
