Fish

Fish are collectables in Animal Crossing which can be obtained with the Fishing Rod. They are portrayed as teardrop-shaped shadows in the water of the river, pond, holding pond, or ocean. When you cast your line, the fish will notive. They will "nibble" anywhere from 0-4 times before biting. Once caught, they will be placed in your inventory. Fish can be donated to the museum, entered in the fishing contest, placed in your house (in a glass tank), or sold to Tom Nook.
