"I've caught ALL of the fish! You'd think I'd have a pun for this occasion..."

— player, Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Fish are collectible creatures in the Animal Crossing series that can be caught with a fishing rod. They can be donated to the museum, sold, placed in the player's home as a piece of furniture, or, only in New Horizons, given to C.J. to create models. Fish can be found in various bodies of water, including rivers, ponds, and the sea. All fish have a shadow size that can be used to roughly identify them, while some fish such as the great white shark are finned.

Unlike bugs, many fish are available year-round; however, the largest amount of fish are available during the summer months. The most valuable fish in the Animal Crossing series are the barreleye, coelacanth, dorado, golden trout, great white shark, and stringfish, which all sell for 15,000 Bells each in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. In all Animal Crossing games, if the player catches every fish, they will receive a golden fishing rod, which gives the player more time to reel in fish after they bite.

Appearances[edit]

In Doubutsu no Mori[edit]

See also: List of fish in Doubutsu no Mori

A total of 32 types of fish appear in Doubutsu no Mori; however, because there is no museum in the game, they can only be sold, placed as furniture, or given to Wendell in exchange for wallpaper.

A fish-catching event known as the Fishing Tourney is introduced in Doubutsu no Mori, occurring each Sunday in June and November. During the event, the player is tasked with catching small bass, bass, and large bass, and bringing them to Chip, the host of the event. In return, Chip gives the player a furniture item.

In Doubutsu no Mori+ and Animal Crossing[edit]

See also: List of fish in Animal Crossing

Eight more fish were introduced in Doubutsu no Mori+ and later Animal Crossing, making for a total of 40. Fish new to the series include the arapaima, barred knifejaw, crawfish, frog, jellyfish, killifish, red snapper, sea bass. Additionally, in Animal Crossing, the herabuna is replaced with the brook trout. Fish can now be donated to the museum, and if the player catches all 40 fish, they will be gifted a golden rod by Tortimer and a fish ornament will appear on their house's roof.

In Doubutsu no Mori e+[edit]

See also: List of fish in Doubutsu no Mori e+

Doubutsu no Mori e+ introduces another eight fish to the series, including the horse mackerel, balloonfish, blue marlin, dab, octopus, olive flounder, seahorse, and squid.

In Wild World[edit]

See also: List of fish in Wild World

13 more fish make their first appearance in Animal Crossing: Wild World, while five do not return from Doubutsu no Mori e+, making for a total of 56. Fish new to the series include the black bass, clownfish, dorado, football fish, hammerhead shark, gar, king salmon, ocean sunfish, sea butterfly, shark, tuna, yellow perch, and zebra turkeyfish. Fish that did not return from the previous game include the bass, brook trout, large bass, giant catfish, and small bass. If the player catches all 56 fish, they will be mailed a letter containing the golden rod.

The Fishing Tourney returns and is now hosted by Tortimer. Like in the previous game, fish can be given to Wendell, though in exchange for pre-made designs instead of wallpaper.

In City Folk[edit]

See also: List of fish in City Folk

All 56 fish from Wild World return in Animal Crossing: City Folk, along with eight new ones, making for a total of 64 fish. The fish introduced in City Folk are the butterfly fish, lobster, moray eel, Napoleonfish, neon tetra, pike, ray, and surgeonfish. Like in the previous games, if the player catches all 64 fish, they will be gifted a golden rod by Tortmer.

The Fishing Tourney returns from City Folk and is now hosted by Chip again. Like in the previous game, fish can be given to Wendell in exchange for pre-made designs.

In New Leaf[edit]

See also: List of fish in New Leaf

The fish section of the encyclopedia in New Leaf

11 more fish make their debut in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, with three not returning from City Folk. Fish new to the series include the blowfish, giant trevally, mitten crab, nibble fish, oarfish, ribbon eel, saddled bichir, saw shark, soft-shelled turtle, tadpole, and whale shark. The jellyfish is now an obstacle while swimming, while the lobster and octopus are now sea creatures.

The Fishing Tourney once again returns and is identical to City Folk aside from new prizes, items from the Fish Set. If the player speaks to Chip during a Fishing Tourney after catching all 72 fish, he will reward them with the golden rod.

In New Horizons[edit]

See also: List of fish in New Horizons

Animal Crossing: New Horizons introduces 11 new fish to the series, with three not returning from New Leaf, for a total of 80 fish. Fish new to the series include the anchovy, barreleye, betta, golden trout, mahi-mahi, rainbowfish, ranchu goldfish, snapping turtle, sturgeon, suckerfish, and tilapia. The fish that have not returned from New Leaf are the barbel steed, eel, and rainbow trout. If the player catches all 80 fish, they will be sent a letter from the Farway Museum containing the golden rod DIY recipe.

A special character introduced in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is C.J., a visitor who can have Flick create models of fish in exchange for three of a specific fish. He can also purchase fish from the player for 1.5× their regular selling price.

C.J. is now the host of the Fishing Tourneys, which have been overhauled since New Leaf. Players are now tasked with catching as many fish as possible within three minutes, which can be repeated until the end of the event. C.J. will reward the player with points based on how many fish are caught per round, which can be exchanged for fish-themed furniture, clothing, or tools. Additionally, fish can be sold to C.J. during a Fishing Tourney for his usual 1.5× bonus.
