assistance completing museum collection

[quinnetmoi]

I'm not sure if this has been done before so please let me know if it has!

I wanted to create a thread for me (and others) to share month by month and update posts as we go of the things we are missing. There is a phone app called ACNL Guide that has checklists of every fish, bug, painting, diving item to help you figure out what you need in order to complete your museum!

I have been struggling big time to find things I need, such as fish, and I just thought it would be nice to have a place for moral support and tips to catching or obtaining the things needed to work towards this huge accomplishment.

Spoiler: list

Diving
Spider Crab:
- March (all day rare)
- April (all day rare)
Spiny Lobster:
- Sep 16-30 (9pm-4am very rare)
- Oct (9pm-4am rare)
- Nov (9pm-4am rare)
- Dec (9pm-4am rare)

Fishing
Saddled Bichir:

Do we know if we can go to other people's towns and go searching for them together? Bc that would be fun c:

You don’t need to turn off the beautiful town ordinance, just use the rotten perfect fruit from a tree that’s finished or spoiled turnips.

Good ideas!
When/how do I cause the fruit to spoil?
My town is full of perfects so no shortage there. I've just never noticed them spoiling.

Ah! Turnips! I honestly have never participated in the turnip thing. I have to figure out how to buy some.

I think this is a really great idea since hunting for these can be lonely and tedious sometimes. I could definitely use the company! Also since bugs and fish still spawn even on the island, I don't see why not.

Perfect fruit trees only yield six or seven harvests then they’ll kind of crumble and the last fruit is a rotten one (with two perfects) but then it can be chopped down.... You buy turnips from Joan on Sunday mornings, it depends on what she’s selling them for but it’s still a hella expensive fly but it definitely works better than trash or turning off beautiful town ordinance.
