Goldfish

[Lilyacre]

I’m just wondering if anyone has caught a goldfish?

I really want one as a pet but I’ve been fishing for hours with no luck. In old games they were around all the time but maybe it’s different now?

I've caught multiple!!! Not as often as other fish but they are definitley there

I've caught a couple. I'm pretty sure they only appear in ponds though. Maybe try using bait in your pond?

I have caught the goldfish and the one with bigeyes from my pond. Both of them, if you place them down come with a bowl which fits perfectly in to your home or in your garden.

I just tried using bait in my pond and I caught a ranchu goldfish, pop-eyed goldfish and regular goldfish! Thanks for the advice! I now have pumpkin the goldfish in my home

Omg I need a ranchu! One of my beloved ranchus actually passed away.
Do they appear during a specific time?

They appear between 9am and 4pm. The one I found was in the pond and I think the shadow size was larger than a normal goldfish. It was like a crucian carp/bluegill size I used bait and it showed up straight away!
