BE A FISH BAIT — Fish Value Tier List

Updated September 2026

How Fish Are Ranked

Fish tier placement weighs aquarium per-minute income first, active sell price second, catch reliability third, and mutation ceiling fourth. Extinct-rarity species from late zones rank highest when you can reach them with enough Power and rebirth levels.

Extinct-Rarity Tier

Extinct fish are the chase endgame pool — highest sell values and aquarium ticks, gated by Power, rebirth count, and rod tier. Train weights, rebirth toward level 9, and upgrade rods before expecting consistent extinct catches. The embedded video shows a first extinct-zone session for reference.

S-Tier Fish

S-tier species come from mid and late zones with high base aquarium rates and strong mutation multipliers. They are farmable enough to fill multiple slots in one evening. Stock these exclusively once your rod accesses their zone.

A-Tier and B-Tier Fish

A-tier fish bridge early to mid game — good sells, acceptable aquarium rates, easy catches. B-tier fish are sell fodder or temporary tank filler until S-tier stock arrives. Never buy aquarium slots specifically for B-tier residents long term.

Zone Reference

Fish tie to map zones unlocked by rod tier. Cross-reference the map page and walkthrough for where each tier schools. Mutations bump any species one sub-tier minimum — a mutated B-tier can outearn a normal A-tier.
