Fishing

Fishing is a minigame that allows the player to catch Fish, which are used for several purposes across the game. Fishing is unlocked when the player finds Victor's Fishing Tackle in the opening tutorial. 
== Fishing Rewards ==
Fish are required for three quests: First Fishing, Catch a Swordfish, and Find the New Breed Rainbow Fish (Dogs) / Find the Golden Angler Fish (Catz). The first two quests are mandatory, while the latter is optional.
Catching all 70 fish species is necessary to complete the Magic Encyclopedia. As more species are filled in, the player unlocks more colors of the Leather Jacket: the first color is unlocked at 5, and another at each multiple of 10. The Magic Encyclopedia displays one area the fish may be caught in, and it will not specify which pier if an area contains multiple. Some fish may be caught in multiple areas, in which case the Magic Encyclopedia will list the area whose applicable pier the player can access first. Following the Magic Encyclopedia's location is not mandatory to catch and register the fish, or even always recommended. For example, the Ray is far more common at the Monolith Isle pier than the Dolphin Coast island pier, but the Magic Encyclopedia displays Dolphin Coast, which is the first wild area the player visits in the game. 
Caught fish can be displayed in the Aquarium, once it is repaired. It can hold 10 fish at first, and then 20 or 30 after completing Charles's first or second quest. Players may deposit any fish they catch into the Aquarium immediately, or they can enter the Aquarium to manually add and remove fish at their leisure. Filling the Aquarium with many large, vibrant fish creates a striking display. Note, though, that fish added to the Aquarium and then removed are not added back into the player's inventory.
Fish can be sold at the Pawn Shop for 50G-2500G, depending on their species. However, fish can only be sold one at a time.
== How to Fish ==
Piers, rectangular wooden slabs extending into the water, are scattered throughout the world. There are 13 (Dogz) or 14 (Catz) piers in total: Lappy Lake, Jade Fields, Dolphin Coast, and Polar Fields have two each, while the Zoo, Whisker Woods, Monolith Isle, Tail Heights, Gongoro Peak, and the Catz Hideout (Catz) have one each. To fish, a player must walk to the edge of the pier and press the button as prompted. A brief cutscene will play, and the line and tackle will bob in the water. Somewhere from the 1st to the 5th bob, the tackle will be pulled into the water and an icon appears, signaling that the player hooked a fish and how to reel it in. On the Wii version, they shake the Wii Remote, and on the Playstation 2 version, they press X. If the player waits too long, the cycle repeats. 
If the player begins reeling in time, the Fishing minigame begins. The player must use the shown control, shaking the Wii Remote on the Wii or pressing X on the Playstation 2, to reel in the fish they hooked. The top left scale shows how close the player is to catching their fish–when the fish icon is raised up to the spooled thread, the fish is caught. Weaker or fuller motions cause the fish to rise less or more, respectively. Larger fish require more reeling: the smallest fish can be caught by one strong reel or two, while the largest fish can require a minute or more of sustained reeling effort. The bottom scale shows how close the fish is to escaping. Fish will continually "fight" the line and swim away, represented by the fish icon moving to the left. If the farthest edge of the fish icon reaches the red bar on the left, it successfully gets away–the line was too loose, and the player did not reel intensely enough. If the fish icon reaches the red bar on the right, the line will break and the fish will still escape–the player reeled too strongly. If the fish nears the yellow bars on the sides, the game will warn the player that the line is too loose or tight, but this warning may not give the player time to react if the fish is moving quickly enough. Larger fish fight the line more intensely, erratically, and cruelly. The smallest fish may barely fight the line, while the largest fish dare the player to fail at both ends, willing to stand stone-still at the right end just to surge leftward with no warning, hesitation, or abatement. Skillful fishing entails keeping fish as rightward as is safe while quickly reacting to their pushes left, counteracting them with your own strong reels to preserve the balance and prevent escape. 
The size of the fish icon is a rough indicator of the size of the fish, in centimeters of length. The smallest fish under 20cm have an icon shorter than the width of the player character's face, while fish above 100cm take up a sizable fraction of the scale on their own. This larger icon widths makes it easier for either end to hit the red bars on the sides, making large fish even harder to catch. Some especially rare and powerful fish have an even larger icon with a small eye. Fish confirmed to reach this level include the Tuna (sometimes) and Golden Swordfish of Dolphin Coast, the Ray (very rarely), Napoleon Fish (rarely), Sunfish (sometimes), and Golden Sunfish of Monolith Isle, the New Breed Rainbow Fish of Polar Fields, and the Arapaima (usually) and Golden Arapaima of Gongoro Peak. 
Once a fish is caught, the player will store it in their inventory. If the Player has repaired the Aquarium, they may immediately send the fish to be displayed there instead. If it is a new species, it will be registered in the Magic Encyclopedia either way. If the player already has 30 of the caught fish species in their inventory, they can either replace the smallest fish among these with their new catch, or they can discard the new catch. 
==Piers and Pier Locations ==
Each pier will contain a list and description of the available fish to catch. These tables are primarily a simplified and synthesized version of the Fishing Tables created by Winter_Doggo, which provide precise information on fish frequencies. For these tables, Rarity is the average chance of catching a fish, assuming it is catchable at all when the player enters a map. When the player enters a map, one of four different setups of fish, lengths, and rarities is loaded, and some fish are present on some of an area's setups but not others. If a fish is present in some setups but not others, it will also receive a Setup Adjusted Rarity (SAR), which accounts for this by including these 0% frequencies in the mean rarity calculation.
The Rarity frequencies used here are Ubiquitous (50-100%), Very Common (25-50%), Common (15-25%), Uncommon (10-15%), Rare (6%-10%), Very Rare (2%-6%), and Extremely Rare (<2%).
The Size ranges used here are Tiny (1-5cm), Very Small (<20cm), Small (<60cm), Medium (<100cm), Large (<300cm), Very Large (300-400), and Enormous (200+). Tiny + Very Small, Small, Medium, Large + Very Large, and Enormous appear to correspond to the sizes of fish icons when fishing. Enormous fish have an especially large "eye" icon and bar while being caught, and this status appears to be determined by an unclear mixture of fish species and size. For example, a 320cm Sunfish or a 400cm Swordfish will not have the "eye" icon, while a 242cm Tuna or a 200cm Ray will, showing that species plays a role. Therefore, the size ranges of Very Large and Enormous can overlap. However, while a 320cm Sunfish will not have the "eye" icon, a 400cm Sunfish will, so size plays a role for this species, and for the Tuna and Ray as well. Size ranges for fish species as a whole are fairly well known, but size ranges for fish at a specific pier are mostly speculative and based on existing data. In South Pawville and Tail Heights, however, fish size ranges are confirmed. Several fish can appear in different size ranges, which will be noted for their entry. The italicized size is more rare.
The Prices are Low (50-150G), Medium (200-500G), High (1000-1500G), and Very High (2000-2500G).
The ordering of fish within piers reflects a holistic ranking of value, with the most valuable fish at the bottom. Larger, rarer, more exclusive, higher-price fish tend to be ranked as more valuable. Broadly, the Dolphin Coast (Island), Polar Fields (Sea), Monolith Isle, and Gongoro Peak piers have especially valuable fish, while the Lappy Lake (Islet) and Dolphin Coast (Coast) piers have less valuable fish.
====South Pawville==== 
*Sea pier (next to the Pawn Shop)
The South Pawville pier has a mix of common small fish and uncommon medium fish. It will rarely host the Hairtail at a fairly high frequency. However, overall, its fish are fairly small and sell for little. The Stonefish, Goatfish, Sole, Octopus, Squid, Grunt (Dogz), and Sea Bass (Dogz) are exclusive to this pier. If a player seeks the Goatfish and/or Sole and do not find them after a good amount of tries, they should leave South Pawville and come back, as each has a 50% chance to be catchable upon entering the area. For some players, though, the Hairtail is just more practical to catch in Polar Fields, where it occurs in all setups (albeit at lower, varying rates) alongside more valuable fish.
Fish 	Rarity (SAR) 	Size 	Price
Sardine 	Common 	Very Small - Small	Low
Grunt 	Common 	Small 	Low
Stonefish	Common (Uncommon) 	Small 	Low
Goatfish 	Common (Rare) 	Small 	Low
Sole 	Uncommon (Rare) 	Small 	Medium
Sea Bass 	Uncommon 	Medium - Large 	Medium
Octopus 	Rare 	Medium - Large 	Medium
Squid 	Rare 	Medium - Large 	Medium
Hairtail 	Uncommon (Very Rare)	Large 	High
 
 
Sardines are used to access the Dolphin Coast call pier. 
====Zoo====
*River pier
The Zoo pier has a mix of common fish often found elsewhere, and rare, larger fish often unique to its pier. This can irritate players hunting the Ito, providing a barrage of low-value repeat fish before its 3.5% chance (on average) activates. The Kokanee, Bighead Carp, and Ito are exclusive to this pier. All of the pier's fish can be found in all setups, which is a blessing and a curse–the player never has to leave the Zoo and return to make certain fish appear, but they cannot confirm their setup number by finding a setup-exclusive fish. Therefore, the player has no easy way to know whether they're in the Ito-favorable setup, providing a 4.6% rate, or in the twice-as-bad Ito-unfavorable setup, which provides a measly 2.38% rate. Either way, one would be wise to not let it escape on the line.
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Catfish 	Common 	Small 	Low
Brook Trout 	Common 	Small 	Low
Kokanee 	Common 	Small 	Low
Sweetfish 	Uncommon 	Very Small - Small	Medium
Minnow 	Rare 	Small 	Low
Eel 	Uncommon 	Medium 	Medium
Carp 	Rare 	Medium 	Medium
Bighead Carp 	Very Rare	Medium 	Very High
Marbled Lungfish	Very Rare	Large 	Very High
Ito 	Very Rare	Large 	High
 
Once the Bear returns to the Zoo, the player can initiate a fishing battle with them. They will require the player to catch a fresh Zoo fish, which could be anything from a common Kokanee to a very rare Marbled Lungfish, to win and gain a varying amount of G depending on the fish. The reward seems to depend on the fish's rarity: for example, 100G for the Kokanee (a small bonus), 200G for the Sweetfish (a small loss), and 500G for the Marbled Lungfish (a large loss). 
====Dolphin Coast====
*Coast pier (near Warren, on the left side)
The first Dolphin Coast pier is required for the First Fishing quest, but there is little reason to spend much time there afterward, as it provides a limited set of low-value fish. This is especially true for Petz Catz 2 players, as the Catz Hideout contains two fish from this pier. The Sillago, Blowfish, Goby (Dogz), and Flatfish (Dogz) are exclusive to this pier. All pier fish are present in all setups, but their rates may fluctuate from roughly 10% to 20% (Sillago and Flatfish) or 5% to 20% (Blowfish), so exiting and entering the area may be valuable if the player is especially struggling to fill a slot in the Magic Encyclopedia. If a player wants to access the island pier and its more valuable fish, but they lack a Sardine for the Call action, they can catch one in the Coast pier. However, they don't need to spend much time here catching many Sardines for repeated trips, as Sardines are fairly common at the island pier anyway.
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Sardine 	Very Common	Very Small - Small	Low
Goby 	Common 	Very Small - Small	Low
Sillago 	Uncommon 	Small 	Low
Blowfish	Uncommon 	Small 	Low
Flatfish	Uncommon 	Small - Medium 	Medium
* Island pier (requires Call and 1 Sardine, accessed from the center of the far coast)
The Dolphin Coast island pier hosts an unmatched variety of large, valuable fish, making it among of the most attractive piers in the game. The only small fish available is the Sardine, which mildly helps to secure transportation to and from the island with the Call action. Players have a roughly 25% chance to hook the massive Swordfish, which, aside from featuring in the mandatory Catch a Swordfish quest, ties for the highest sell price of all fish at 2500G. Thus, fishing at this pier is among the best ways to earn money in the game. The Striped Mackerel, Tuna, Swordfish, Golden Swordfish, Bonito (Dogz), and Spanish Mackerel (Dogz) are exclusively found here. This pier is the only sea pier to host two Enormous fish, the Tuna and the Golden Swordfish. Curiously, the Tuna is about 100cm smaller on average than the Swordfish, which is merely Large. 
One inconvenient feature about this pier is its very different fish setups. Several fish are substantially rarer or more common in specific setups, and several fish are exclusive to one or two setups, but reloading the area is time-consuming. To leave Dolphin Coast and return to refresh the fish setup, players must spend two Sardines, watch two Call cutscenes, and run the length of Dolphin Coast twice. Players specifically seeking out the Ray, Napoleon Fish, Barracuda, or Angler Fish may be wise to ignore the Magic Encyclopedia's advice and fish for them at Monolith Isle (first three) or Polar Fields (latter) instead of this pier. They are not setup-dependent in these piers, aside from the Napoleon Fish, which still has higher frequencies, and Monolith Isle is easier to refresh setups for anyway. Both of these alternate piers also have large, valuable fish to catch in the meantime. However, one advantage of this pier's setups is that, if the player ever catches a Napoleon Fish or Angler Fish, they know they have one of the setups favorable to catching Golden Swordfish. Also, Tuna and Golden Swordfish tend to compete for space on setups.
Fish 	Rarity (SAR) 	Size 	Price
Sardine 	Common 	Very Small - Small	Low
Bonito 	Common 	Medium - Large 	Medium
Striped Mackerel	Rare 	Medium - Large 	High
Spanish Mackerel	Rare 	Large 	High
Barracuda 	Uncommon (Very Rare) 	Medium 	Medium
Ray 	Very Rare (Extremely Rare)	Large 	High
Angler Fish 	Rare (Very Rare) 	Large 	Very High
Napoleon Fish 	Rare (Very Rare) 	Large 	Very High
Tuna 	Very Rare 	Large, Enormous 	High
Swordfish 	Very Common 	Very Large 	Very High
Golden Swordfish	Very Rare 	Enormous 	Very High
Swordfish are great candidates for the Aquarium given their size and frequency. They can range from 300cm to 400cm, with their length ranges and frequencies depending partially on the setup. If the player's Sardine lengths are 19 and 30, or 20 and 22, 400cm Swordfish are available.
====Jade Fields====
*Sea Pier
The Jade Fields sea pier has two fish used for Call actions and the Mullet, which is exclusive to this pier (Dogz). It has no other fish, however, so a player need not need spend much time here. In Petz Catz 2, the Mullet is present at the Catz Hideout and is slightly more common there, giving the player even less reason to fish heavily at this pier.
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Sardine 	Ubiquitous	Very Small - Small	Low
Red Sea Bream	Common 	Medium - Large 	High
Mullet 	Uncommon 	Small - Medium 	Low
*River Pier
The river pier has a relatively average selection of various river fish. Only the Starry Flounder is exclusive to this pier, and its premier catch, the Grass Carp, is easier to catch in Tail Heights. All fish are present on all setups, but the rates for the Minnow, both Carp, and both Trout depend dramatically on the setup, which can make life easier for players who want many of one fish type and are willing to refresh for a favorable setup. The Carp species + Minnow compete for space with the Trout species on setups; setups that have more Minnows, Carp, and Grass Carp have fewer Brook Trout and Rainbow Trout, and vice versa.
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Pale Chub 	Common 	Very Small 	Low
Brook Trout 	Common 	Small 	Low
Minnow 	Rare 	Small 	Low
Sweetfish 	Uncommon	Very Small - Small 	Medium
Rainbow Trout 	Uncommon	Small - Medium - Large	Medium
Starry Flounder	Uncommon	Medium 	Medium
Carp 	Rare 	Medium - Large 	Medium
Grass Carp 	Rare 	Medium - Large 	High
*Catz Hideout (Catz)
Maria's quest allows the player to access the Catz Hideout, which, unlike the Dogz Hideout in Petz Dogz 2, has a pier used for the quest. No fish are exclusive to this pier–instead, all its fish are exclusive to one pier in Dogz, with Catz Hideout providing another place to catch them in Catz. It has two fish each from South Pawville, Dolphin Coast (Coast), and Dolphin Coast (Island), alongside the Mullet from Jade Fields (Sea) and the Sunfish from Monolith Isle. The Sunfish is the premier catch. It is a bit more rare here than in Monolith Isle, but it is present on all setups here, as is true for all fish in this pier.
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Goby 	Common 	Very Small 	Low
Grunt 	Common 	Small 	Low
Mullet 	Common 	Small - Medium 	Low
Flatfish 	Uncommon	Small 	Medium
Sea Bass 	Uncommon	Medium - Large 	Medium
Bonito 	Uncommon	Medium - Large 	Medium
Spanish Mackerel	Rare 	Large 	High
Sunfish 	Rare 	Very Large - Enormous	Very High
====Lappy Lake==== 
*Islet pier
The base Lappy Lake pier provides a low-value set of small-to-medium fish, with none exceeding 250G in price. No fish are exclusive to this pier. Even if the player desires the novelty of a 1cm Killifish, the Call pier hosts the Killifish at a bit higher rate. No fish are exclusive to any setup, but Black Bass, Climbing Perch, and (to a lesser extent) Eel rates fluctuate across setups.
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Blue Gill 	Very Common	Very Small - Small	Low
Catfish 	Uncommon 	Small 	Low
Bitterling 	Uncommon 	Very Small 	Low
Killifish 	Uncommon 	Very Small 	Low
Climbing Perch	Uncommon 	Very Small - Small	Medium
Black Bass 	Common 	Small - Medium 	Low
Eel 	Rare 	Medium - Large 	Medium
*Cliff pier (requires Call)
This pier is the exclusive home of the Golden Killifish and otherwise provides a slight upgrade to the islet pier. It's also the best place to catch Killifish, the smallest fish. The Bowfin is present on 3 of the 4 setups.
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Blue Gill 	Common 	Very Small - Small	Low
Catfish 	Common 	Small 	Low
Black Bass 	Uncommon 	Small - Medium 	Low
Cichlid 	Uncommon 	Small 	Medium
Silverside 	Uncommon 	Small - Medium 	Medium
Killifish 	Common 	Very Small 	Low
Bowfin 	Rare (Rare)	Small - Medium 	High
Golden Killifish	Very Rare 	Very Small 	Very High
====Whisker Woods==== 
*Freshwater pier
Besides being the exclusive home of the Golden Carp, the Whisker Woods pier provides a relatively average selection of river fish of various sizes. The Bear from the Zoo tasks the player with catching a Brook Trout here, which shouldn't take too long to find. The Snakehead is on 3 out of 4 setups with widely varying rates, and the Climbing Perch and Cichlid are on two setups each with relatively consistent rates. If the player is able to catch both Climbing Perch and Snakehead, or both Cichlid and Snakehead, they have one of the setups with slightly higher Golden Carp rates.
Fish 	Rarity (SAR) 	Size 	Price
Pale Chub 	Common 	Very Small - Small 	Low
Brook Trout 	Common 	Small 	Low
Bitterling 	Uncommon 	Very Small 	Low
Climbing Perch	Common (Rare) 	Very Small - Small 	Medium
Cichlid 	Common (Rare) 	Small 	Medium
Snakehead 	Uncommon (Rare)	Small - Medium 	Medium
Rainbow Trout 	Rare 	Small - Medium - Large	Medium
Eel 	Rare 	Medium - Large 	Medium
Golden Carp 	Very Rare 	Medium 	Very High
====Tail Heights====
*
*Pond pier
The Tail Heights pier is rare in that it has no exclusive fish. However, it is the easiest pier to catch the Grass Carp and Marbled Lungfish in, boasting much higher rates than the alternatives. The two large fish compete with each other for space on the setups, leaving only 2 setups with the Marbled Lungfish present. However, the Marbled Lungfish is common in setups where it does appear, so players should realize fairly quickly if their setup lacks them, allowing them to reload the area for a more favorable setup. 
Fish 	Rarity (SAR) 	Size 	Price
Blue Gill 	Very Common 	Very Small - Small	Low
Cichlid 	Common 	Small 	Medium
Silverside 	Common 	Small - Medium 	Medium
Black Bass 	Common 	Small - Medium 	Low
Grass Carp 	Uncommon 	Medium - Large 	High
Marbled Lungfish	Common (Rare)	Large 	Very High
*
====Monolith Isle ==== 
*Sea pier
The Monolith Isle pier has several rare, large, and valuable fish. However, it also has several small, low-value fish, and many of its larger fish can be caught elsewhere, so it could be slightly less rewarding than the Dolphin Coast island pier or the Polar Fields sea pier, on average. The Clown Fish, Sea Horse, Butterfly Fish, Striped Beakperch, Golden Sunfish, and Sunfish (Dogz) are exclusive to this pier, and the Ray and Barracuda are considerably easier to catch here than in their other location, the Dolphin Coast island pier. Different setups have different rates for the Ray and Sunfish, which tend to compete for space on setups. The Red Sea Bream also varies from almost 10% to a staggeringly low 1.22%, the lowest non-zero figure for any fish on any setup in the game, but it's much more common at the Jade Fields sea pier either way.
One novel feature of the pier is its four possible Enormous fish. While only the Golden Sunfish is always this size, a caught fish of this size could be a 350cm+ Sunfish, or even an errant 200cm Ray or 200+cm Napoleon Fish, bizarrely. This large number of possible Enormous fish can give great practice for catching such fish, but setup plays a role in how common they are, especially because some setups bias towards Sunfish below or above the cutoff.
Fish 	Rarity (SAR) 	Size 	Price
Clown Fish 	Common 	Very Small 	Low
Sea Horse 	Common 	Very Small 	Low
Butterfly Fish 	Common 	Very Small - Small 	Low
Barracuda 	Uncommon 	Small - Medium - Large	Medium
Striped Beakperch	Rare 	Small - Medium 	High
Red Sea Bream 	Very Rare 	Medium - Large 	High
Ray 	Rare 	Large, Enormous 	High
Napoleon Fish 	Rare (Very Rare)	Large, Enormous 	Very High
Sunfish 	Rare (Rare) 	Very Large - Enormous 	Very High
Golden Sunfish 	Very Rare 	Enormous 	Very High
====Polar Fields====
*
*Pond pier
The Polar Fields pond is one of the least rewarding piers in the game, and it is a decoy for the true pier beyond the nearby ice wall. The small, low-value Smelt has a staggering average 96.5% rate, giving a mere 3.5% rate for the Gar. Some setups have slightly higher or lower rates, but it's not worth worrying about that, because it would require many Gar and many hours to reasonably guess what setup a player is in. Catching one Gar amongst the sea of Smelt is enough for the Magic Encyclopedia and enough for most players who don't actively seek out misery. 
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Smelt	Ubiquitous	Very Small - Small	Low
Gar 	Very Rare 	Large 	Very High
* Sea pier (requires Hot Stone)
The sea pier beyond the ice wall, unlike the pond pier, has a wide variety of rare and valuable fish. It has the most exclusive fish of any pier at 8; only the Hairtail and Angler Fish can be caught elsewhere, but even then, this pier is the only one to have them in all setups. It is also the only pier to host two Golden variants of fish. The New Breed Rainbow Fish is the premier catch, with its Enormous size and unique coloration, but it has the dubious honor of having the lowest sell price for its size. The Golden Angler Fish, similarly, has a lower sell price than the other golden fish, lower than even the base Angler Fish. The roles of the former two fish in Charles's quest could be related to these lower prices, but either way, the pier may generate a bit less wealth than the other premier sea piers. All fish are available on all setups, but the rates of the Salmon, Hairtail, and Angler Fish can change substantially by setup. Get the Hot Stone by warming up the Warm Stone in the Whisker Woods hot spring–the Polar Fields hot springs wont work. 
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Saury 	Common 	Small 	Low
Herring 	Common 	Small 	Low
Walleye Pollock 	Common 	Small - Medium	Low
Blue Hake 	Uncommon 	Medium - Large	Medium
Salmon 	Rare 	Medium - Large	High
Hairtail 	Very Rare	Large 	High
Angler Fish 	Very Rare	Large 	Very High
Golden Angler Fish 	Very Rare	Large 	High
Golden Salmon 	Very Rare	Large 	Very High
New Breed Rainbow Fish	Very Rare	Enormous 	High
In addition to being cheaper, the Golden Angler Fish is slightly more common on average than the Angler Fish, although the Angler Fish is found in another location as well.
Melting the ice wall turns the Hot Stone back into the Warm Stone, and leaving Polar Fields and returning will restore the ice wall blocking the pier, so fishing for longer windows is recommended to minimize backtracking to Whisker Woods. There is a Hot Spring very close to the pier, so Temperature is not a concern.
====Gongoro Peak==== 
*Pond pier
The last pier unlocked in the game, the Gongoro Peak pier, is the best freshwater pier in the game for rare and valuable fish. It is the exclusive home of the Arapaima and the Golden Arapaima, which dwarf all other river fish by a factor of 2 or more, alongside the large Ancient Fish and medium-to-large Arowana. It also hosts two species of fish that sometimes approach large size, the Black Bass and Snakehead, which is less common for freshwater fish. All fish are available in all setups, but the Black Bass and Ancient Fish have more volatile rates. Curiously, in one setup, the Golden Arapaima is almost twice as common as the Arapaima, though it is still marginally rarer overall.
Fish 	Rarity 	Size 	Price
Blue Gill 	Common 	Very Small - Small 	Low
Climbing Perch 	Common 	Very Small - Small 	Medium
Black Bass 	Uncommon 	Small - Medium 	Low
Snakehead 	Uncommon 	Small - Medium 	Medium
Bowfin 	Rare 	Small - Medium 	High
Arowana 	Rare 	Medium - Large 	High
Ancient Fish 	Very Rare	Large 	Very High
Arapaima 	Very Rare	Very Large - Enormous	Very High
Golden Arapaima	Very Rare	Enormous 	Very High
