Dace

The Dace (ウグイ, Ugui) is a common brown fish that can be found swimming in rivers. It is worth 200 bells. Daces are very easy to catch and probably will not make a player win the Fishing Tourney.

Donating to the Museum
As with all fish in the, the dace can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, who will also give a small talk about it.

In Animal Crossing
Upon donation, Blathers will give a generic comment about it.

"This is one of those fish that seem to mysteriously disappear from time to time. Drives fishermen batty, wot! Have no fear, dear friend! You're leaving this beauty in very good wings, hmmm? Hoo! Owl humor. Hoo hoo!"

In Wild World
"I can't say I've ever seen this on a menu... To be honest, I can see why! It's rather bony...and one must consider the stench... No, none too appetizing."

In City Folk
"Most fishermen think of dace as a bit of a nuisance because they interfere with catching more desired fish. This fish cares not... During spawning season, the dace dons a bright orange stripe across its belly! Even nuisance fish get the urge to dress up and strut a bit, eh wot?"

In New Leaf
Upon donation to the museum, the information board in front of the tank that houses the Dace says: "Dace can live in cloudier, murkier water than most but are easy to see as their numbers are so plentiful. They are related to carp, and some species of Dace live in the ocean as well as rivers and streams. During mating season, the bellies of the males develop an orange stripe to indicate their intent to mate."
