Tips & Tricks

Strategies for collecting rare fish, growing fast, and climbing the leaderboard

🐣

Getting Started

A few quick wins that new players often miss:

  • When starting, only use the goldfish till you get a better fish. The goldfish sucks. End Run once you get a few fish in your net and switch fish!
  • If you plan to play the game for any considerable amount of time, the passes are a must!
  • You can get 50% luck for liking the game and joining the community. It won't always show up right away, but it's worth it!
  • Always use your gems to open chests. There is no other way to spend gems and every unlocked chest adds permanent Luck.
  • Use Auto Farm as much as possible. The more time spent farming, the more fish you'll catch.

Luck Milestones

Luck is the single most impactful stat in Be Fish. Higher tier fish are locked behind Luck thresholds.

Legendary Fish
1,700% Luck
You will start to get Legendary fish in your net around this Luck threshold.
Mythic Fish Chests
25,000% Luck
Mythic fish start to show up in chests, still incredibly rare though.
Mythic Fish Nets
50,000% Luck
This is the big one. You'll finally start getting Mythic fish in nets.

General Tips

This is a farming game. The best way to advance is by leaving Auto Farm on 24/7. Combined with the passes active, you'll collect fish much faster.

Aggressive players love to eat others and try to grow. They are usually newbs on a Lower tier fish. As a new player its easy to get caught up in trying to outgrow aggressive fish and avoid getting eaten. Don't worry about it. Getting nets is what really matters. If it really bothers you, switch tanks.

The only way to beat aggressive fish is to have a faster fish. This is fun while active playing, but not so much if you have a terrible fish.

  • Speed is more important than XP stat. Unless the XP stat is much higher, prioritize Speed for faster farming.
  • It takes roughly 30 days of 24/7 auto farming (with passes) to get the Rainbow Betta Fish. This is a top 10 fish for speed.
  • Getting eaten doesn't really matter and eating other fish doesn't really help you progress. Keeping Auto Farm on 24/7 is the key to collecting the rarest fish.
  • If you buy a private tank, you can farm in peace without any interruptions. This will require an auto clicker to keep you from auto-rejoining. Auto rejoin puts you into a public tank.
  • If you haven't bought all the passes, Revive and Revenge are a complete waste of money. If you have money for these, you can buy the passes.
  • Generally speaking though, Revenge is not worth it. Revive is 1/5th the cost, which nullifies revenge. Just go to another tank(server).

Pass Priority (if spending Robux)

If you're going to invest Robux, here's the recommended order based on long-term value:

  1. 1
    Double Loot
    2 fish instead of 1 in your net for each time you fill your XP bar. Doubles your fish collection rate.
  2. 2
    Fast XP
    Fill your XP bar faster and get more fish in your net.
  3. 3
    Food Magnet
    Doubles your collection radius and again, helps increase fish in your net.
  4. 4
    Double Growth
    Increases how fast you grow in the tank. Keeps you from getting eaten quicker and outgrow aggressive fish.
  5. 5
    Lucky
    Permanent +100% Luck. A minor boost, but every bit helps.

Leaderboards

There are 3 Leaderboards in Be Fish:

Most Kills
Ranks players by number of fish eaten.
Fish Collected
Ranks players by total fish collected in FishDex.
Rarest Fish
Ranks players by rarest fish collected in FishDex.
  • It will take some SERIOUS farming to reach the top of any of these Leaderboards. It is possible, but you must be committed.
  • There are quite a few players who farm 24/7. I'm one of them.
