All Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event Fish Guide, Location & Best Bait!

Fisch is celebrating its second anniversary with a limited-time event featuring a special collection of anniversary fish. There are 12 unique fish to catch, including several rare catches such as Birthday Profane Leviathan, Birthday Floppy, Birthday Colossal Squid, and Birthday Isonade.

Most of these fish can be found through the special Anniversary Pools that appear around the Fisch map. Since the event is only available for a limited time, players who want to complete the anniversary bestiary should start collecting these fish before the event ends. Here is how the Anniversary Pools work and how to catch all 12 fish.

When Do Anniversary Pools Spawn in Fisch?

Anniversary Pools are special fishing spots created for the 2nd Anniversary event.

They can appear once every hour near one of several islands:

• Forsaken Shores.
• Castaway Cliffs.
• Snowcap Island.
• Roslit Bay.

The pool has a noticeable pink appearance, making it easier to identify once you reach the correct location. You do not need to manually search every island whenever the pool spawns. Instead, pay attention to the global chat.

• You should see a message similar to: “An Anniversary Pool has appeared near X Island.”

When the notification appears, get on your boat and travel toward the mentioned island. The Anniversary Pool only remains available for around 15 minutes, so you need to move quickly. If you arrive too late, the pool may disappear before you have a chance to catch anything.

How to Get Cupcakes Bait

Cupcakes are the main bait used for the anniversary fish. Most of the 12 fish require Cupcakes Bait, so getting enough of this bait should be one of your first priorities. You can obtain Cupcakes by using the Icing Pool located at the bottom of the large Anniversary Cake in Moosewood.

To get the bait, catch any fish from the 2nd Anniversary event and then toss it into the Icing Pool. This gives you access to the Cupcakes Bait needed for the anniversary catches. Because almost every fish in the event uses this bait, it is a good idea to prepare some before spending too much time waiting for an Anniversary Pool.

How to Catch All 12 Fisch Anniversary Fish

There are 12 limited-time fish available during the second anniversary event. Some can be caught anywhere on the map, while others have a much better chance of appearing inside an Anniversary Pool.

1. 2nd Birthday Balloon

The 2nd Birthday Balloon is a Limited rarity anniversary catch. You can fish for it anywhere on the map. Use Cupcakes Bait when attempting to catch this item. There are no specific weather, season, or time requirements listed for this catch, so you can attempt to get it whenever you are fishing.

2. Birthday Candle

Birthday Candle is another Limited anniversary catch. It can be found anywhere on the Fisch map and requires Cupcakes Bait. Since it is not restricted to an Anniversary Pool, you can continue fishing normally while trying to complete this part of the bestiary.

3. Birthday Card

The Birthday Card is a Limited event fish that can also be caught anywhere. Equip Cupcakes Bait and continue fishing until you get the catch. There are no special timing, weather, or seasonal requirements listed for the Birthday Card.

4. Birthday Colossal Squid

Birthday Colossal Squid is one of the special anniversary catches with a high chance of appearing inside an Anniversary Pool. When an Anniversary Pool appears, head to its location and use Cupcakes Bait. Because the pool only lasts for a short period, use the opportunity to focus on the anniversary fish rather than fishing somewhere else.

5. Birthday Cupcake

The Birthday Cupcake can be caught anywhere on the map. It requires Cupcakes Bait, making it one of the anniversary catches you can work toward even when no Anniversary Pool is active. Continue fishing with the correct bait until it appears.

6. Birthday Floppy

Birthday Floppy is another Limited anniversary catch that has a high chance of appearing inside the Anniversary Pool. Wait for the hourly pool notification and travel to the listed island. Once there, use Cupcakes Bait and continue fishing until you catch the Birthday Floppy.

7. Birthday Isonade

Birthday Isonade is also associated with the Anniversary Pool. Its chance of appearing is higher inside the special pool, so it is better to focus on the event fishing spot rather than trying to find it through normal fishing. Bring plenty of Cupcakes Bait so you can make the most of the limited time available.

8. Birthday Leviathan

Birthday Leviathan is another Limited anniversary catch with a high chance of appearing inside an Anniversary Pool. Once the hourly announcement appears, travel to the correct island and fish in the pink pool. Make sure Cupcakes Bait is equipped before casting your line.

9. Birthday Pinata

Birthday Pinata can be caught anywhere on the map. Like the other anniversary catches, you need Cupcakes Bait. You do not have to wait for an Anniversary Pool to attempt this catch, so you can work on the Birthday Pinata between pool spawns.

10. Birthday Present

Birthday Present is a Limited anniversary catch that can also appear anywhere on the map. Use Cupcakes Bait and continue fishing normally. Because this one does not require the Anniversary Pool, it can be a useful target while waiting for the next hourly pool notification.

11. Birthday Profane Leviathan

Birthday Profane Leviathan is one of the more notable catches from the anniversary event. It has a high chance of appearing inside an Anniversary Pool, so make sure you head to the event pool whenever one spawns. Equip Cupcakes Bait and keep fishing while the pool remains active. This is one of the catches you should prioritize if you want to complete the anniversary bestiary.

12. Birthday Rubber Ducky

Birthday Rubber Ducky is the final fish on the 12-fish anniversary list. It has a high chance of appearing inside an Anniversary Pool. When the pool appears, travel to the correct island and use Cupcakes Bait to increase your chance of getting the event catch.

Best Way to Complete the Anniversary Bestiary

The easiest strategy is to split your fishing time between the Anniversary Pool and normal fishing spots. When the global chat announces an Anniversary Pool, immediately travel to the location. Focus on the event fish that have a high chance of spawning there, especially the Birthday Profane Leviathan, Birthday Floppy, Birthday Colossal Squid, Birthday Isonade, Birthday Leviathan, and Birthday Rubber Ducky.

When there is no active pool, use the time to catch the anniversary fish that can appear anywhere. Keep Cupcakes Bait ready throughout the event so you do not waste the limited pool duration looking for bait.

The Fisch 2nd Anniversary event adds 12 Limited catches to the game, giving players another reason to keep fishing before the event ends. Several of the most interesting fish have a higher chance of appearing inside the special Anniversary Pools, which spawn roughly once every hour near Forsaken Shores, Castaway Cliffs, Snowcap Island, or Roslit Bay.

Remember to watch global chat for the pool notification and travel there quickly because each pool only stays around 15 minutes. For the best results, stock up on Cupcakes Bait by using anniversary fish at the Icing Pool in Moosewood. With a good supply of bait and some patience, you can work through all 12 catches and complete the Fisch 2nd Anniversary bestiary.
