Fish

This article is about a list of fish. For article about fishing, see Fishing.

Fish are collectable items in the Animal Crossing series. Players can catch them by fishing in bodies of water using a fishing rod. They can be donated to the museum, sold, or placed in the player's home like a piece of furniture.

There are 56 fish in Animal Crossing: Wild World and 64 in Animal Crossing: City Folk. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the number of fish increased to 72.

Whale

The whale is the unofficial name given to the large fish shadow seen in Animal Forest. It is not a real fish but rather a glitch in the game.
