Is it worth it to keep these bugs & fishes?

[BamTheBoom]

I've been hoarding bugs and fishes that cost $5,000, $3,000, $2,000, and $1,500. It seems that villagers cap out at giving $1,500 for their quests, and even when given Tuna only get +3 to their friendship, so is it even worth it to keep fish that cost more than $1,500? Or will I need things that are rarer than Black Bass, Red Snapper, and Horned Dynastid for quests? Right now I'm level 45.

Apparently not really, I've been giving them the rare bugs and fish and they just give more bonuses or fortune cookies or treats??? I don't think they have anything to do with friendship levels at all since the most increase I've seen has been +3...

The rare ones guarantee of Fortune cookies..if u dont care about cookies than they r useless...I have 3 items left I need from the cookies..so if u decide u want to sell them I will buy anything meaning I will pay50000 the old price if ur willing to sell the tuna koi Goliath beetle or the Neapolitan fish..

They are valuable but then I ask you, who the hell buys? No one buys.
So keep them to yourself and give away when animals ask, not only for the money, they give you +3 of friendship and if lucky might give you cookies too. Same with perfect fruits.

That's the thing, though. My villagers seem to only give me $1,500 max, even if I give them a $5,000 fish/bug. Unless you're snack or cookie hunting, it's better to just sell bugs and fish that sell for more than $1,500. You'll still get +3 from the $1,500 things. But I'm wanting to know if villagers will ask for things like the Napoleonfish, Koi, and Agrias butterfly for quests. So far, at level 46, I seem to be only getting requests for the common bugs and fishes and Horned Dynastid, Black Bass, and Red Snapper. Will they ask for "higher rarity" bugs and fishes as I level up?

I have never had a villager ask for a specific item that is above 100 bells. I am level 116 right now. The over 100 bell items are purely for you to either sell (which I do not recommend) or give to villagers when they ask for an category (I want a bug, shell, fruit, or fish) without naming a specific for the chance of getting a treat and/or cookie. It is amazing how quickly you can go through treats, and the cookies are really random with items, so I am still trying to complete the catalog. You can also give duplicate items that you get from the cookies to Gulliver for more treats.

Nah, just sell 'em. I keep the horned dynastid, red snapper and black bass, but the rest are sold.
