The best fish for fish ponds in Stardew Valley
Fish ponds are a great way to passively gain resources to sell at a market to create new items in Stardew Valley. Some fish are better than others, though, based on what they produce and how much population you have in the pond. Here are some of the best fish you can have in a fish pond in Stardew Valley.
It’s important to note that the fish will have quest icons above their fish ponds at different times that you need to complete. If you do not meet them, you cannot grow their population, so make sure to check their ponds every few days to see what they need you to do. These quests revolve around giving the fish a particular item.
BlobfishBlobfish are excellent for fish ponds because they produce a decent amount of roe when you have six of them in a pond. They also have a chance for warp totems to drop, which teleport you directly back to your farm, or they can produce pearls, which you can sell for 2,500 gold pieces. You need to have at least nine Blobfish in a pond to create the rarer items, which will take you some time to acquire.
You have a limited time window to catch a Blobfish. You can only catch them while attending the Night Market, which is an event that happens at the beach from Winter 15 to 17. While at the Night Market, make sure to go on the submarine ride. This takes you deep-sea fishing, granting you the rare opportunity to catch an array of rare fish. If you find a Blobfish, take it home and add it to your fish pond to start reaping the benefits.
