Ah yes, the Nibble Fish. True to its name, this is the smallest fish to catch in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as it only gives you a little nibble! If you are struggling to find or catch the elusive fish, we have broken down all the tools you’ll need to find, catch, and sell the smallest, rarest fish of the game!
Here’s What You Need To Know
All you need to catch the Nibble Fish is a normal fishing rod. However, it is important to remember that the Nibble Fish is not always available on your island. The fish can spawn at different times, different months, and different places. You will need to remember each of these details in order to catch the Nibble Fish successfully.
- Nibble Fish only appear during the day between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Nibble Fish are only present from May to September in the Northern Hemisphere and November to March in the Southern Hemisphere. Nibble Fish only spawn in rivers, not in oceans or ponds.
Shadow Size Is Important
As a result of the Nibble Fish being rather complicated to track down, it may take some time to actually catch the fish itself. Be patient! Likewise, you need to monitor the shadow size to make sure you are catching the Nibble Fish. Nibble Fish have the smallest shadow size of any fish in Animal Crossing — they almost look like a tiny dot in the water.
Can You Sell The Nibble Fish?
The Nibble Fish will sell at Nook’s Cranny for around 1,500 bells. However, these little fish are very difficult to farm due to their rarity. Thus, there are different fish that are more profitable and you may consider donating the Nibble Fish to Blathers at the museum — or keeping your Nibble Fish for yourself!
Don’t feel discouraged when trying to catch the elusive Nibble Fish. As long as you remember that the fish can only appear in the daytime between 9 AM and 4 PM, they only swim in rivers, and are only available for catching from May to September in the Northern Hemisphere and November to March in the Southern Hemisphere, you’ll stumble across one in no time!
