{{Quote|I've caught ALL of the fish! <small>You'd think I'd have a pun for this occasion...</small>|[[player]]|{{NH}}}}
'''Fish''' are collectible creatures in the {{SER}} 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 {{NH|short}}, given to [[C.J.]] to create models. Fish can be found in various bodies of water, including [[river]]s, [[pond]]s, 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 [[bug]]s, many fish are available year-round; however, the largest amount of fish are available during the [[summer]] months. The most valuable fish in the {{SER|nolink}} are the [[barreleye]], [[coelacanth]], [[dorado]], [[golden trout]], [[great white shark]], and [[stringfish]], which all sell for 15,000 [[Bell]]s each in {{NH|nolink}}. 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==
===In {{DnM|nolink}}===
{{See also|Fish/Doubutsu no Mori|label1=List of fish in Doubutsu no Mori}}
A total of 32 types of fish appear in {{DnM}}; 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 {{DnM|nolink}}, 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 {{DnM+|nolink}} and {{PG|nolink}}===
{{See also|Fish/Animal Crossing|label1=List of fish in Animal Crossing}}
Eight more fish were introduced in {{DnM+}} and later {{PG}}, 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 {{PG|nolink}}, 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 {{I|golden rod|PG}} by [[Tortimer]] and a fish ornament will appear on their house's roof.

===In {{DnMe+|nolink}}===
{{See also|Fish/Doubutsu no Mori e+|label1=List of fish in Doubutsu no Mori e+}}
{{DnMe+}} introduces another eight fish to the series, including the [[horse mackerel]], [[Puffer fish|balloonfish]], [[blue marlin]], [[dab]], [[octopus]], [[olive flounder]], [[Sea horse|seahorse]], and [[squid]].

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
{{See also|Fish/Wild World|label1=List of fish in Wild World}}
13 more fish make their first appearance in {{WW}}, while five do not return from {{DnMe+|nolink}}, making for a total of 56. Fish new to the series include the [[black bass]], [[Clown fish|clownfish]], [[dorado]], [[football fish]],  [[hammerhead shark]], [[gar]], [[king salmon]], [[ocean sunfish]], [[sea butterfly]], [[Great white shark|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 {{I|golden rod|WW}}.

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 [[design]]s instead of wallpaper.

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
{{See also|Fish/City Folk|label1=List of fish in City Folk}}
All 56 fish from {{WW|short|nolink}} return in {{CF}}, along with eight new ones, making for a total of 64 fish. The fish introduced in {{CF|short|nolink}} 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 {{I|golden rod|CF}} by Tortmer.

The Fishing Tourney returns from {{CF|short|nolink}} and is now hosted by Chip again. Like in the previous game, fish can be given to Wendell in exchange for pre-made [[design]]s.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
{{See also|Fish/New Leaf|label1=List of fish in New Leaf}}
[[File:NL Fish Encyclopedia.png|thumb|left|150px|The fish section of the encyclopedia in {{NL|short|nolink}}]]
11 more fish make their debut in {{NL}}, with three not returning from {{CF|short|nolink}}. 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 [[Moon jellyfish|jellyfish]] is now an obstacle while [[swimming]], while the [[lobster]] and [[Octopus (creature)|octopus]] are now [[sea creature]]s.

The Fishing Tourney once again returns and is identical to {{CF|short|nolink}} 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 {{I|golden rod|NL}}.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
{{See also|Fish/New Horizons|label1=List of fish in New Horizons}}
{{NH}} introduces 11 new fish to the series, with three not returning from {{NL|short|nolink}}, for a total of 80 fish. Fish new to the series include the [[Anchovy (fish)|anchovy]], [[barreleye]], [[betta]], [[golden trout]], [[mahi-mahi]], [[rainbowfish]], [[ranchu goldfish]], [[snapping turtle]], [[sturgeon]], [[suckerfish]], and [[tilapia]]. The fish that have not returned from {{NL|short|nolink}} 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 {{I|golden rod|NH}} [[DIY recipe]].

A special character introduced in {{NH|nolink}} is [[C.J.]], a visitor who can have [[Flick]] create [[Critter model|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 Tourney]]s, which have been overhauled since {{NL|short|nolink}}. 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.
