Blathers has this to say about the yellow perch when you donate it:
"Most of the Perch family have perched on a dinner table at some time. Indeed, these fish are avalible for perch-ase all over the world, wot!"
In City Folk
Blathers has this to say about the yellow perch when you donate it:
"Yellow perch have spiny dorsal fins that make them look rather tough. Here's an interesting tidbit: as fry, these fish will hide amongst water plants by standing on their heads! It stands to reason that a tough fish like this one must be clever from the day it's born..."
The yellow perch appears in the middle-right tank of the aquarium.

Further Information
The yellow perch is a species of perch found in the United States and Canada, where it is often referred to as the shortform perch. Yellow perch look similar to the European perch but are paler and more yellowish, with less red in the fins. They have an active lifestyle during the day, when they feed. They have 6-8 dark vertical bars on their sides to protect themselves from predators. Yellow Perch are fairly easy to catch and are often caught while fishing for species in which they share the same body of water. As mentioned in the 'Bugs and Fish' window in City Folk, there are lures designed to look like perch, usually to catch bass but other fish are attracted to them too, such as Pike. they weigh about 4 pounds and generally 4 to 15 inches long.
