The Killifish is a tiny fish found in the holding pond between the months of April and August at any time of the day. It is the only "fish" found in holding ponds that is truly a fish.

Donating in Wild World

As with all fish, the killifish may be given to Blathers as an addition to the museum's aquarium. Blathers doesn't appear to be very knowledgable about this particular specimen, however...

"I heard that killifish recipes are common all around the world. Sadly, I've seen nary a one, not that I've searched... I haven't a clue as to their taste, even. It IS a fish, though, I can say that!"

The killifish can be found in the first aquarium tank after donating.

Donating in City Folk

Upon donating to the Museum in Animal Crossing: City Folk, Blathers will say;

"...Hoo, here's a morsel of interest--killifish are often used in observational studies... This is because they are translucent, wot? Indeed, their innards can be seen clearly from without! In earlier times, folks used killifish to discover how a body processed food. Well, suffice to say, the killifish is a marvelous little wonder that gives people a true eyeful!"

It can be found in the left tube tank.

Further Information

It is unclear what sort of killifish appears in Animal Crossing series. Judging by the size estimated within the built-in encyclopedia, it could be a Moonlight Medaka or "Japanese Rice Fish". However, all killifish have common traits, noticeably, their translucent skin which has made them an interest in biology due to the visibility of their digestive system. They are a harmless, common, aquarium fish.
