Where to catch which fish (A guide from players for players)

[LennyOgg]

I saw this post on reddit and there seemingly is no list yet about how and where to catch which fish when to complete the Family Collection, so I thought, why not make it here - together?
If your Zois cought a fish that isn’t listed below, let us know where, when and with which rod it can be caught and if it can be displayed in a fish tank.
(Disclaimer: ADHD brain at work here, let me also know if I made something wrong ö.ö)

I’ll collect the data you share in this first post and hopefully, we’ll get all them fish together here with info how to catch and where.

Thank you so much for compiling this great list @LennyOgg !!

So far I can add to it these 2. I had the gold rod, so I don´t know if it is possible to catch with the ones below it.

This was at the beach in Cahaya:

And this in the park in Cahaya:

[LennyOgg]

Awesome! Added them, thank you

At the bottom of the window is the minimum rod listed with which you can catch the fish

[EllaEstella]

Thanks for letting me know. Somehow I overlooked this part

[LazyTaco]

Awesome guide. Maybe this information can be added to the Wiki, if it hasn’t been already.

[JoyIsFunner]

Thanks for this very helpful guide, I’m going to bookmark it so when I finally play inZOI trying to achieve everything, this is a huge help

[neanerath]

That’s a great guide, thank you! I caught some fishies that are not mentioned here yet, so there you go:

ocean sunfish:

great barracuda

french angelfish

butterflyfish

black marlin

[neanerath]

And part two ,as I can only add 5 files at one time:

red trout

painted sweetlips

orca

[glauadris]

At what exact point in the sea did you manage to catch the Orca? I’ve been trying to fish for it for a long time, I’ve been to various locations with the boat, but I can never catch it.

[glauadris]

I’m looking for these 8 fish that are missing. I know they’re all caught by boat, and if anyone knows the approximate location on the map in Cahaya or Bliss Bay where I can fish for them, I would really appreciate it. I’m available if anyone needs information about the other fish I’ve already caught, or about other collections, like metals and precious stones, that I’ve already completed.

[neanerath]

Check out this post, I added screenshots of my location

Whale shark & Orca

I just caught orca. I was just over the ruins where there are some columns in the circle. I was in immersed mood, was using jeweled fishing rod and fished with the bait (one time). I haven’t seen the whale shark yet though. [orca] [orca map] [orca dive]

[glauadris]

Thank you for sharing that tip. I managed to catch the orca!

Now I’m looking for these 7 fish:

• Blue tuna

• Giant manta ray

• Giant sea turtle

• Zebra shark

• Whale shark

• Ghost blue tuna

• Ghost whale shark

[eakulina]

@glauadris

We caught a big stingray here.

[glauadris]

Thank you for sharing that tip. I finally managed to catch it! I also managed to catch a giant sea turtle at this location:

Now I’m searching for these 5 fish:

• Bluefin tuna

• Zebra shark

• Whale shark

• Ghost bluefin tuna

• Ghost whale shark

[eakulina]

@glauadris

Зебровая акула

I was able to catch her in this place:

[eakulina]

@glauadris

Мне также удалось поймать гигантскую морскую черепаху в этом месте

Did you catch the turtle during the day or at night? I don’t have any turtle at all yet

[glauadris]

During the day, using the concentration donut.

[glauadris]

Thanks for the tip, I just caught it!

Now I’m looking for these 4 fish, they’re all caught by boat fishing, I already know the times, I just need to find out the location:

• Blue Tuna (Day/Night)

• Whale Shark (Day)

• Ghost Blue Tuna (Night)

• Ghost Whale Shark (Night)

[eakulina]

@glauadris

Я готов помочь, если кому-то понадобится информация о других рыбах, которых я уже поймал, или о других коллекциях, например о металлах и драгоценных камнях, которые я уже собрал.

Hi! Where did you catch the Ghost Sea Turtle? Could you please tell me?

UPD: I’m withdrawing my question, I just caught a Ghost Sea Turtle!
