Fish
Every Fish It fish and where it spawns, from common starters to Secret and Forgotten rarities like the Megalodon. Learn drop rates, sell prices and hunt spots.
Introduction
The Fish hub is your index to every catch in Fish It, from the common starters that fund your first rod to the Secret and Forgotten rarities that define the endgame. Fish It advertises over a million possible fish variations, which is best understood as a base roster of fish multiplied across mutations, sizes and weights rather than a million distinct species, but the chase is real: each island has its own pool, and every rarity tier spawns at a different rate. Secret-class catches like the Megalodon and Flame Tyrant have extremely low spawn chances, while the Forgotten Hydras sits at the very top of the rarity ladder from the elemental expansion. This page maps where each rare fish spawns, what conditions raise its odds, and which are actually worth hunting for their sell price. Use the drop rates as community-reported guidance, since exact percentages shift between patches, and pair this page with the Mutations guide to multiply the value of whatever you do catch.

Core Mechanics
Fish spawn from each island's pool according to a rarity tier, with common and uncommon fish appearing often while Secret and Forgotten rarities are extremely rare. Your rod luck, pet buffs, potions and enchants all raise the odds of rolling a higher tier, which is why the rarest fish are effectively a stacking problem rather than pure chance. Reeling speed matters too, because faster clicking during the reel lands better fish, so the same spot can produce different results depending on how well you play the minigame. Each fish has a base sell price that a mutation then multiplies, so the most valuable catches are high-rarity fish that have also rolled a strong mutation like Gemstone. Limited islands and events temporarily change the spawn pool, adding event fish and boosting Secret rates, which is the best window to chase the one catch you are still missing. Track spawn locations as approximate rather than exact, because the developer tunes rates and moves fish between islands between updates.
Advantages
Chasing the fish list is the core of the game and also the best money, because high-rarity fish sell for far more than common spawns and the sell price is what funds every rod upgrade. Knowing exactly where a fish spawns turns a long random grind into a targeted hunt, so you stop wasting time on islands that cannot drop the catch you want. The Secret and Forgotten rarities are long-term goals that keep the endgame moving once your rod is already strong, giving you a reason to keep playing between updates. Because so many players search for specific fish like the Megalodon, these articles also point you to the exact island and stacking setup that the community has confirmed works. Collecting fish across every island naturally levels your account, since the same sessions that fill your log also produce Coins for the next rod.
Challenges
Rare fish are designed to be frustrating, and even a fully stacked setup only improves your odds rather than guaranteeing a Secret catch, so some hunts still take hours or days. Exact drop rates are community-reported and shift between patches, so a number you read here may be slightly off after a surprise update moves a fish to a new island. Limited fish can only be caught during their event window, meaning a player who starts after the event may need to wait for the island to return before completing their log. The million-variation marketing line is easy to misread, since the number counts mutations and size combinations rather than distinct species, so collectors should set their expectations around the actual base roster. Focus on fish that sell well and pair them with mutations instead of doom-grinding a single Secret without any stacking buffs.

Quick Tips
Hunt one rare fish at a time and fish its confirmed home island instead of drifting between spots, because each island is a fixed pool and a fish you want simply does not spawn elsewhere. Moving around wastes the stacking buffs you built up, since luck, potions and enchants all apply per cast, and leaving the correct island resets your progress on the hunt. Check the Fish page for the exact island, then commit a full session to that one spawn location.
Stack luck from every source before you start a Secret hunt, because rods, pets, potions and enchants multiply each other rather than adding a flat bonus, so a half-stacked session is dramatically less efficient than a fully stacked one. Combined with a limited event, when Secret spawn rates are temporarily raised, the same number of casts can produce many more rare rolls. Gather your best rod, equip the right pet and pop your potions all at once instead of spreading them thin.
Use the fish log to see exactly what you are still missing, then cross-reference the Locations guide for where each remaining fish spawns, because the log turns a random grind into a clean checklist. Knowing the next target and its island lets you plan efficient sessions instead of drifting and hoping. Work the log from the rarest entries down, since limited fish should be prioritised while their event window is open.
