The Sprout Quest in Fisch is one of the longest and most demanding progression chains in the game. To unlock the Tranquility Rod, you must collect a long list of specific fish — most of them with rare mutations. Some require special rods. Others need events, weather conditions, or even puzzle completion with another player.
If you try to farm them randomly, you’ll waste hours. Below is the complete fish list with exact locations and the fastest method to obtain each one. Also check out our Fisch Codes for more rewards!
1. Lunar Clownfish (x3)
Location: Roslit Bay – Coral Reef
Required Mutation: Lunar
How to get it:
- Catch normal Clownfish in bulk
- Appraise until Lunar appears
- Limited rods can roll Lunar
- Very low natural chance during Moonlit Mirage
Best strategy: Mass catch and AFK appraisal.
2. Mythical Clownfish
Location: Roslit Bay
How to get it:
- Use the Mythical Rod (30% boost)
- Fish during Rainbow weather (15%)
- Appraisal is possible but inefficient
Mythical Rod is the most consistent option.
3. Lost Blue Tang
Location: Roslit Bay
Required Mutation: Lost
How to get it:
- Use the Lost Rod (36% Lost chance)
- Craft Lost Rod via Ancient Archives materials
If you haven’t unlocked Ancient Archives yet, trading for this fish is much faster.
4. Exploded Great White Shark
Location: Shark Hunt Event
Required Mutation: Exploded
How to get it:
- Use Boom Ball Rod (50% Exploded chance)
- Unlock Boom Ball Rod in Desolate Deep
- Explode yourself around 25 times to access the secret room
- Rod costs 50,000
Tip: Catch and release repeatedly until the mutation appears.
5. Silver Great Hammerhead Shark
Location: Shark Hunt Event
Required Mutation: Silver
Only obtainable via appraisal. There’s no rod that guarantees Silver, so expect grinding.
6. Abyssal Shortfin Mako (x3)
Location: Forsaken Shores
Required Mutation: Abyssal
Mutation methods:
- Rod of the Depths (30%)
- Abyssal Spectre Rod (25%)
- Abyssal Enchant (20%)
Rod of the Depths offers the highest consistency.
7. Aurora Dumbo Octopus
Location: Roslit Bay
Mutation methods:
- Aurora Rod (30% during Aurora event, 15% outside event)
- Aurora Bait (30%)
- 1% chance during natural Aurora
Stacking Aurora Rod + Aurora weather gives best results.
8. Sparkling Butterfly Fish (x3)
Location: Roslit Bay
Required Mutation: Sparkling
Methods:
- Appraisal (1%)
- Destiny Rod (10%)
- Seraphic Rod (8% with mastery)
- Blessed or Glittered enchants
Most players rely on AFK appraisal due to simplicity.
9. Midas Golden Seahorse
Location: Forsaken Shores (Backside abundance area)
Use the Midas Rod for a guaranteed 100% Midas mutation.
The Midas Rod is sold by the Traveling Merchant for around 55,000.
10. Mythical Treble Bass
Location: Moosewood (Daily Shop area)
Use Mythical Rod to increase mutation chance. Straightforward but rare.
11. Heavenly Trumpet Fish (x2)
Location: Sunstone Island (Back island near palm tree)
Requires:
- Heavens Rod (35% Heavenly chance)
- Completion of Northern Expedition unlock chain
One of the longer progression locks before you can even attempt it.
12. Aurora Puffer Flute
Location: Crystal Cove – Waterfall
Same Aurora mutation methods as Dumbo Octopus:
- Aurora Rod
- Aurora Bait
- Natural Aurora
Weather timing matters heavily here.
13. Lunar Stringed Grouper
Location: Crystal Cove – Waterfall
Required Mutation: Lunar
Same Lunar methods as Clownfish:
- Bulk catch and appraise
- Moonlit Mirage (very low natural chance)
Appraisal is still the most consistent.
14. Midas Spotted Drum
Location: Tidefall → Crowned Ruins
Use Midas Rod for guaranteed Midas mutation. This one is simple once you have the rod.
15. Heavenly Siren Singer
Location: Atlantis → Ethereal Abyss
Requirements:
- Complete puzzle with 2 players
- Access Ethereal Abyss
- Use Heavens Rod
This is one of the hardest steps in the entire Sprout Quest. Coordination is required, and Heavenly mutation RNG still applies.
16. Mythical Hidden Pipefish
Location: Castaway Cliff
Rarity: Legendary
Use Mythical Rod to increase odds. Pure grind but no puzzle required.
The Fisch Sprout Quest demands proper planning, specific rods, and patience with mutation RNG. Some fish are simple once you have the right equipment, while others like Heavenly Siren Singer require coordination and progression unlocks. Follow the optimized methods above, focus on rod priority first, and you’ll unlock the Tranquility Rod far more efficiently than grinding blindly across every island.
