The Animal Fish Update in FISCH has just dropped, and it’s packed with hilarious, weird, and wonderfully creative fish to catch! Whether you’re exploring the First Sea, diving into the Second Sea, or trying your luck with the brand-new Octapin event, this update is all about collecting wild animal-themed fish and unlocking some seriously strange bestiaries.
Let’s dive into everything this Fisch Animal Fish Update brings — from where to fish, how to spawn rare events, what baits you’ll need, and all the new cosmetics in the shop.
FIRST SEA – Limited-Time Bestiary (10 Fish)
In the First Sea, you’ll find a limited-time Bestiary with 10 new animal-themed fish to catch. These include fun and bizarre creatures like:
- Cluckfin
- Sea Cow
- Piranha Monk
Each fish requires a specific bait, so make sure to check the bestiary and prep your inventory. You can click on each fish in the game to see its bait.
Availability: This bestiary is only available for 14 days, so you’ve got 2 weeks to catch ‘em all.
Where to Find Animal Pools in First Sea
Here’s the trick — animal fish spawn in specific pools, but those pools appear randomly.
A pop-up will notify you when “An Animal Pool has spawned!”
Keep an eye on both your chat and screen.
The location is random. In the test server, one was seen at Terrapin.
Once you spot a spawn, head over and fish in the pool to progress in the bestiary.
Tip: Be patient. The spawn system works similarly to other random pool events in the game.
SECOND SEA – Two Bestiaries & the Octapin Event
Moving over to the Second Sea, things get a bit more interesting. Here, you’ll find:
Two Limited-Time Bestiaries:
Regular Animal Bestiary (9 Fish)
Similar spawn system as the First Sea.
Fish include:
- Crabbit
- Cappy Bass (mistakenly assumed to be a capybara goldfish)
And other wacky creatures
Octapin Bestiary – More complex and tied to a semi-boss event.
Octapin Event – Mini-Boss Style Fishing Encounter
This is where things get spicy!
The Octapin is a giant elephant-octopus hybrid that you “defeat” by fishing at a special event pool.
How to Spawn the Octapin:
It has about a 20% chance to spawn during rainy weather.
The easiest way to trigger rain is by spamming Smoke Screen and Tempest.
Once spawned, a notification appears:
“An Elephant Octopus has been spotted near Lush Grove.”
Location is always Lush Grove — camp there if you’re grinding.
The Fight: Unfishable Bubble (25 HP)
Once you’re at the Octapin location:
You’ll see a bubble with 25 HP.
Every fish you catch reduces its HP by 1.
While fishing, you’ll also catch fish from the Octapin Bestiary.
When the bubble HP reaches 0, the Octapin becomes catchable… but here’s the twist:
Only one player can catch it.
And it’s not guaranteed — you’ll need to keep trying until you hook it.
- Octapin Bait: 🪱 Golden Worm
Preferred Weather: Clear (ironically, it spawns in the rain…)
