The Nibble Fish (ドクターフィッシュ, Dokutā fisshu) is a fish that was first introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. They can be found between 9 AM and 4 PM in the river in the months May until September.

Donating to the Museum

After a nibble fish is donated, a sign in the museum will display information about this fish.

"The official name given to this warm-water-dwelling species of fish is "Garra rufa." They are omnivorous, as they both eat algae and scrape the skin off other fish. All you'd have to do to feed them is stick your hand in the tank; they would live off your dead skin. That's why they're called nibble fish. They exfoliate but don't have any teeth, so it doesn't hurt at all!"
