The list of fish and sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the month of February is certainly another long one. It’s always a good idea to keep track of the critters which migrate on and off your island, just to make sure one of the more valuable ones doesn’t slip through the cracks!

So this guide will provide the summary you need to find and catch the more valuable fish and sea creatures available on New Horizons islands for the Month of Love! We’ve highlighted the most valuable ones based on each creature’s price in Bells, and have identified them as most valuable if the price is 1,000 Bells or more.
