Fisch Valentine’s Bestiary: Full Fish List & Guide
This guide gives you the complete list of Valentine’s-themed fish in Fisch’s Bestiary and explains how to catch each one, including the best rods, baits, and times. You’ll find every fish’s location, rarity, and preferred conditions, plus a few tips for filling out your Bestiary efficiently during the event.
Background: The Valentine’s Event
Fisch’s Valentine’s event (usually running from mid-February to early March) adds a set of limited-time fish to the Bestiary. These fish are only available during the event, and once it ends, they become unobtainable until the next year (if the event returns). The event also introduces special rods, baits, and a unique area (often called the “Love Cove” or “Heart Reef”) where some of these fish spawn.
The Bestiary is a collection log that tracks every fish you’ve caught. Completing it (catching every fish at least once) often rewards you with a title or a special item. During the event, the Bestiary gets a new category or a temporary section for the Valentine’s fish.
Complete Valentine’s Fish List
Here’s the full list of Valentine’s fish in Fisch (as of the 2025 event). Note that some fish may have different spawn conditions depending on the server or updates.
- Heartfin – Common, found in any ocean area. Bites any time, but more likely during the day. Use a basic rod.
- Cupid’s Koi – Uncommon, found in the Love Cove (or any pond). Prefers pink or red bait. Night only.
- Love Stingray – Rare, found in the ocean near the Love Cove. Requires a fast reel (use a rod with high luck). Day only.
- Sweetheart Squid – Rare, found in the ocean at night. Use a squid bait (if available) or any glowing bait.
- Amorous Angelfish – Uncommon, found in any freshwater area. Prefers worms. Any time.
- Valentine’s Puffer – Rare, found in the Love Cove. Bites best when you use a heart-shaped bobber (if you have one). Day only.
- Rosefin – Epic, found in the ocean near coral reefs. Requires a high-luck rod (like the King’s Rod or better). Night only.
- Cherry Shark – Legendary, found in the ocean. Very rare, only appears when the weather is rainy or stormy. Use a shark bait (if available) or a large lure.
- Heart of the Sea – Mythic, found in the Love Cove’s deepest area. Only appears for 30 seconds every in-game hour. Requires a rod with at least 75% luck.
This list is based on the most recent event data. Always check the in-game Bestiary for the exact conditions, as they can change with updates.
How to Catch Each Fish
To catch these fish efficiently, you need to match your rod, bait, and location. Here’s a step-by-step approach:
- Equip the right rod: For common and uncommon fish, any rod works. For rare and above, use a rod with high luck (like the Steady Rod, Mythical Rod, or the event-specific Love Rod).
- Choose the correct bait: Each fish has a preferred bait. For example, Cupid’s Koi likes pink/red bait, Sweetheart Squid likes glowing bait. If you don’t have the exact bait, use a universal bait like worms or minnows.
- Go to the right location: The Love Cove is usually where most Valentine’s fish spawn. You can find it by looking for a pink/red glow on the map or asking other players.
- Time your fishing: Some fish only appear at night (e.g., Cupid’s Koi, Rosefin) or during the day (e.g., Love Stingray, Valentine’s Puffer). Check the in-game clock.
- Be patient: Legendary and Mythic fish have very low catch rates. You might need to try many times. Consider using a luck-boosting potion (if available) or a rod with a higher luck stat.
Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
Many players struggle with the Valentine’s fish because they don’t realize that some fish only spawn in specific weather or times. Here are common mistakes:
- Fishing in the wrong location: Some fish are only in the Love Cove, not the open ocean. Always check the Bestiary entry for the location.
- Using the wrong bait: Using a bait that the fish doesn’t prefer lowers your catch rate significantly. Experiment with different baits if you’re not getting bites.
- Not checking the time: If you’re fishing during the day for a night-only fish, you’ll never catch it. Set your game clock (if you can) or wait for the right time.
- Ignoring weather: The Cherry Shark only appears in rain/storm. If the weather is clear, you won’t see it. You can’t control the weather, but you can wait for a storm.
- Giving up too early: Mythic fish like the Heart of the Sea are extremely rare. It might take dozens of attempts. Don’t assume it’s bugged.
Tips for Completing the Bestiary
To finish the Valentine’s Bestiary before the event ends, follow these tips:
- Start early: Don’t wait until the last week. Some fish are so rare that you’ll need many hours of fishing.
- Use a high-luck rod: If you have a rod with 100%+ luck, use it. It dramatically increases your chances of catching rare fish.
- Fish with friends: Sometimes, the game has “shared luck” or you can trade fish (if that’s allowed). But at minimum, friends can tell you where they found a fish.
- Check the in-game Bestiary regularly: It tells you exactly what you’re missing and what conditions are needed.
- Consider using a luck potion: If the event offers a temporary luck boost, use it before fishing for the rarest fish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do Valentine’s fish disappear after the event?
Yes, they are limited-time. Once the event ends, you can no longer catch them. However, they may return next year, and some players might have them in their inventory to trade (if trading is enabled).
Q: What is the best rod for catching the Heart of the Sea?
The Heart of the Sea is Mythic, so you need a rod with high luck. The best option is usually the event-specific Love Rod (if it has high luck), or any rod with 100%+ luck, like the Mythical Rod or the Rod of the Depths. If you don’t have those, use the highest luck rod you have.
Q: Can I catch Valentine’s fish in any ocean, or only in the Love Cove?
Some fish are exclusive to the Love Cove (like Cupid’s Koi and Valentine’s Puffer), while others can be caught in any ocean (like Heartfin and Cherry Shark). Always check the Bestiary for the specific location.
Q: Do I need a special bait to catch the Cherry Shark?
Yes, the Cherry Shark prefers a large lure or shark bait. If you don’t have shark bait, you can use a large fish (if the game allows it) or just a regular bait and hope for luck. But the catch rate will be much lower.
Q: How long does the Valentine’s event last?
Typically, the event runs for about two weeks, from mid-February to early March. The exact dates are announced in the game’s patch notes or on the official Discord. It’s best to start fishing as soon as the event begins.
Q: Is there a way to increase my chances of catching a rare fish?
Yes, you can increase your luck by using a rod with a higher luck stat, using a luck-boosting potion, and fishing in the correct location with the right bait. Also, some rods have a “perfect catch” bonus that increases rarity—try to time your reel to get a perfect catch.
