PC FISH’s First Season Is Coming!

Get Ready for Our First Season!

The first season of PC FISH: Taskbar Aquarium is planned to begin near the end of the first week of September!

  • 3 limited Seasonal Fish with unique animations

  • 2 new regular fish that will remain permanently obtainable

Seasonal Fish can only be created during their season through Merge, using the specified ingredient fish at the required star levels. They cannot be obtained through breeding or regular Merge. Once the season ends, they will only be available through trading.

Check the recipes and start preparing your ingredient fish now—the higher the Seasonal Fish’s star level, the higher the required star levels of its ingredients!

See the announcement for details.

New Fish. New Season.

Thank you for playing PC FISH! 🐟
