Clownfish: Months Apr-Sept, Peak Months Mar-Aug.

What sense does that make? I've seen this error spread across a lot of AC resources on the internet.

whats the correct version themDragonfree97 12:11, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

This page should state the game to which it applies. My assumption is WW+City Folk, since I really don't recognize many of those from AC:GCN. Any clarifications?

ACCF New Fish

 * Pike
 * Butterflyfish
 * Napoleonfish
 * Neon Tetra
 * Moray Eel
 * Lobster
 * Surgeonfish
 * Ray

I reckon we have a category for CF-only fish. Dragonfree 9 7 16:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Or, we have CF in tiny writing next to the CF only fish. It saves confusing things :) MerrytonRyan 16:36, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, better idea. I know some fish's sci. name,


 * Ocean Sunfish: Mola Mola
 * Arapaima: Arapaima gigas
 * Blue Marlin: Makaira nigricans
 * Shark: Carcharodon carcharias

Would you like me to try adding (CF) to the end of the CF only fish names? I'm more than happy to do it! MerrytonRyan 16:45, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that'd be good. Only make it (CF only) and make it small. Dragonfree 9 7 16:55, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Done :) Also, can someone remove the re-direct on the Butterfly Fish? It's a different fish to the Sea Butterfly :) MerrytonRyan 17:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

There are two fish: Sea Butterfly Butterflyfish Someone keeps adding a redirect. I'll make the butterflyfish page, that'll stop this nonsense. Dragonfree 9 7 19:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Fixed the redirect. Butterflyfish. Dragonfree 9 7 19:52, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Why has Stringfish been redirected/linked to a page which has the wrong name, it's a stringfish, not a Da feindish fish :S MerrytonRyan 13:02, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Where has the info gone?
How comes the Fish page has now turned into this?! It was easier to find than this page, why the unnecessary change? MerrytonRyan 22:27, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Dragonfree changed the title of the page to accomodate a new fish page. I don't see why the information he wants to add can't be added to this page. Bizzarely, Dragonfree alse requested the deletion of the fish page, too. This 'complete list of fish' is now inconsistent with the insect page, despite a similar layout. I think Dragonfree ought to explain what he's doing, at least so we know what's going on. Dab 11:05, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * What I am doing is well, this. This article is not so much about fish, just a big list. The page 'Fish' which I cannot currently make due to a forest of redirects (Fish, Fish2, etc) will contain information about how to fish, what fish look like, and so on. This page is now a 'complete list of all fish'. As I stated earlier, this article is just a list, so I have decided to make a page similar to the Weather page. Dragonfree 9 7  12:23, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, that sounds good! Perhaps we could give this page an easier-to-find title, such as 'Fish list'? Once we decide upon a good name for this page, I'll go ahead and change 'insect' accordingly, and perhaps make a page on insect-catching as well. Just be sure to state at the top that 'this is an article on how to fish'. For a list of fish you can catch, please see 'Fish List', or something along those lines. I don't know why you're requesting to delete 'Fish', though, when you could just create it on that page. Dab 12:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Didn't think of that :). I'll do it now. Dragonfree 9 7  13:23, 8 March 2009 (UTC)Oh and yeah, Fish list sounds better than this. And I think that the game actually calls 'insects' bugs, instead. So it should be Bug list or similar.


 * This is so pointless... The fish page you have created should be called fishing, because that is exactly what it is telling you to do. Fish means Fish, Salmon is a Fish. How to catch fish isn't called fish, that's called fishing. Change them back :/ MerrytonRyan 16:01, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * What I don't understand, is why the pointless and unnecessary changes. Yeah, you mean well, but this is a Wiki site... They're meant to be informative, and to find Wiki pages should be easy and the pages themselves should be appropriately named. What does the word "fish" mean? Fish means, the collective name for different types of a species (called fish). So the page, coincidentally, should be called FISH. What is the activity in which you catch fish? Well, that's called FISHING. Which is why the old layout was the better one... Fishing is how you catch fish (which is what the new fish page seems to be on about) while Fish means different types of fish species, so it should be called fish. I really do think you need to change the pages around, this is incredibly pointless now and far too confusing for new people. You're clearly changing pages for the sake of change, and forgetting Wiki sites are meant to be informative... MerrytonRyan 16:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright! Fish and Fishing it is! Dragonfree 9 7  16:09, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * ^^ Adding to that rant... All the fish pages e.g. coelacanth, king salmon etc link to the fish page, when the word fish is mentioned... It's easier to add pages by putting fish  in the article, adding  Complete Lst of Fish  is just making it more pointless and untidy... MerrytonRyan 16:10, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Right. The article on fish was just a big list with a paragraph at the tp, so I moved it and deleted that information. I have now added that information and a bunch of other information and added it to Fish. But that, as you said, is too like fishing. So I tried to move it, but it appears there already is a small article on fishing, so I cannot move that to Fishing without getting Dab, etc. to delete it. Therefore I cannot move this to Fish. At the top of each page I shall add If you want how to fish, see Fishing. Currently that leads, as I stated previosly to a reltively small article. And we aren't allowed to copy+paste, we have to move properly move it to keep the history/ So all this rests on when an admin comes on next... Then it will all be sorted. You'll see.
