The '''ocean sunfish'''{{Note|{{Nihongo foot|マンボウ|Manbō}}}} is a [[fish]] in the {{SER}} introduced in {{WW}}. It is the least valuable member of the shark family, selling for {{Currency|Bells|4000}}, and is also the only one to appear exclusively during the daytime. It appears with a finned shadow in the [[sea]] from 4 AM to 9 PM from [[summer]] to early [[fall]] prior to {{NH|short}}, where its availability during the first month of summer was cut.

The '''Ocean Sunfish''' ('''''Mola mola''''') is a [[fish]] that appears during the [[summer]] months, from 4 am to 9 pm. It is the least [[Bells|valuable]] member of the [[shark family]]. Its shadow, like all other members of the shark family, is huge and has a fin protruding from the [[ocean]]. It can be sold for 4,000 Bells. It is also the only 2D fish in {{CF}}.

The ocean sunfish, ''Mola mola'', is a tropical fish related to the [[puffer fish]]. It's the largest known bony fish, at up to 3.3m long and 4.2m tall, and weighing over 2 metric tons. When resting they will lay down on their side just below the ocean's surface in the sun, which is where they get their name. This behavior is believed to warm them, as prolonged exposure to waters below 12 °C (54 °F) can disorientate or even kill them.
 +
 
 +
Despite being classified as a bony fish, they have a skeleton largely comprised of cartilage, due to the sizes they reach. Like some other toothless bony fish, it has pharyngeal teeth, or teeth in its throat. Traditionally believed to feed primarily on jellyfish, they are now known to be generalist predators, also eating fish larvae, squid, crustaceans, and even eelgrass. Ocean sunfish are often victims of skin parasites, and they will invite small fish and even birds to clean their skin.

The real ocean sunfish is the type species of its family, Molidae. It can be found all over the world in temperate or tropical seas. It is huge, being up to 3.2 meters tall and weighing over one metric ton. It is the heaviest known bony fish. They are gentle giants and are very curious. Their brain is the size of a nut. When resting the ocean sunfish will lay down on its side just below the ocean's surface, looking like it is dead. Their diet consistes of mostly jellyfish, and sadly, many ocean sunfish die when they choke on plastic bags that look like jellyfish. Ocean sunfish are unable to fully close their mouths. Ocean sunfish are often victims of skin parasites, and they will invite small fish and even birds to clean their skin.

The ocean sunfish[nb 1] is a fish in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Animal Crossing: Wild World. It is the least valuable member of the shark family, selling for  4,000 Bells, and is also the only one to appear exclusively during the daytime. It appears with a finned shadow in the sea from 4 AM to 9 PM from summer to early fall prior to New Horizons, where its availability during the first month of summer was cut.

Donating to the museum[edit]

Upon donation to the museum, Blathers will say the following:

In Wild World[edit]

"I understand that ocean sunfish are edible, but... I've also heard that unless it's incredibly fresh, it tastes rather foul. As such, it's usually only eaten where it's caught!"

The ocean sunfish will be found in the second room in the sea tank.

In City Folk[edit]

"...The ocean sunfish, it turns out, is related to the blowfish! Shocking, no? Absolutely mind-boggly! The resemblance is quite strong in its little mouth and round body... Seems rather blowfishy to me! ...There's something almost therapeutic about watching its slow, dull movements and vacant expression."

It can be found in the tank at the back of the aquarium, with other sea fish.

In New Leaf[edit]

An information board in the aquarium displays a description of the ocean sunfish:

"Ocean Sunfish are a relative of blowfish that can reach up to two tons in weight. Lacking a tail fin, they cannot swim particularly quickly, which is an odd bit of anatomical detriment. The number of eggs they can lay is the most in the world at over 300 million. However, out of that 300 million, only one or two fish will ultimately survive. Ocean sunfish sometimes like to bob up and down on the surface of the ocean. This gives them the appearance they're sunbathing, which helps to make them a popular breed of fish."

In New Horizons[edit]

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" in New Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"The ocean sunfish is a large relative of the blowfish with an unusual shape, like a fish head with a tail. They are a fairly relaxed species, often content to ride where the currents take them. This is fortunate as, otherwise, the sight of a large head coming toward you might be alarming!"

The ocean sunfish is found in the second exhibit, with the horse mackerel, the anchovy, the whale shark and the great white shark.

Fishing Tourney[edit]

During a Fishing Tourney, when given a ocean sunfish, Chip will say the following dialogue.

In City Folk[edit]

"When I'm feeling down, ocean-sunfish quesadillas always brighten up my day. Nyuuuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

In New Leaf[edit]

"Let's see. The best way to cook an ocean sunfish is definitely tempura. Has to be! Tempura always works! Heck, swallowing this guy in a single gulp is pretty much off the table, even for me. Bummer!"

Real-world information[edit]

A real ocean sunfish

The ocean sunfish, Mola mola, is a tropical fish related to the puffer fish. It's the largest known bony fish, at up to 3.3m long and 4.2m tall, and weighing over 2 metric tons. When resting they will lay down on their side just below the ocean's surface in the sun, which is where they get their name. This behavior is believed to warm them, as prolonged exposure to waters below 12 °C (54 °F) can disorientate or even kill them.

Despite being classified as a bony fish, they have a skeleton largely comprised of cartilage, due to the sizes they reach. Like some other toothless bony fish, it has pharyngeal teeth, or teeth in its throat. Traditionally believed to feed primarily on jellyfish, they are now known to be generalist predators, also eating fish larvae, squid, crustaceans, and even eelgrass.
