Pale chub

The Pale Chub is a moderately common fish found in the river in all of the games. It can be found in the river during the day at every time of the year. In and  it appeared as a pink-purple fish with a blue side; this is very unlike the true colouration of the species.

Donating to the Museum
When handing the pale chub Blathers in the Museum, he will say the following before thanking the player for the donation:

In Animal Crossing
"Oh? Is that a fact? It's sometimes called a mountain trout? But it's not a trout! What rot! Well, regardless, I'll see that it gets the proper care. You have my word on it!"

In Wild World
"You know, I'm sure these are technically edible... Even so, I don't think there are too many people who actually DO eat them, wot? I suppose if one were to batter them with some delectable spices..."

In City Folk
"The pale chub is a freshwater fish. During its spawning season, it turns a vivid blue, wot wot? But all the eggs do have similarities... Telling what sort of beastie laid the egg is difficult, wot wot? Rather fascinating how a fish normally so plain can put forth such an effort when love is on the line... Perhaps I might stand to adopt that fish philosophy myself, and quite soon!"

Further Information
The Pale Chub, also called the Freshwater Minnow (or Pirami in Korea), is an East Asian fish. It is in no danger of becoming threatened or extinct, as it is plentiful in all of its habitats. It lives in fast flowing rivers, streams and lakes where it feeds off of insect larvae,algae and smaller fish. During mating season, the male Pirami changes its color to a more vibrant hue to impress females. They feed more actively in dull conditions, usually during the evening or when the weather is overcast. Its name should not be mistaken for a Piranha. It is related to the Dark Chub, and is a member of the carp family Cyprinidae.
