Donating to the museum[edit]
As with all fish in the Animal Crossing series, the Dace can be donated to the museum by talking to Blathers, who will also give a small talk about it.
In Animal Crossing[edit]
Upon the dace's 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[edit]
"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[edit]
"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[edit]
"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."
In New Horizons[edit]
When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" in New Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:
"Dace are shiny little fish that enjoy freshwater streams with gravelly bottoms and plenty of sunlight. What a fishy paradise...until the larger fish move in and begin eating the dace! Sadly, the shiny dace are easy for other fish to spot, which makes them a popular snack. However, this particular specimen here has no need to worry. There's a strict "No Eating Your Neighbor" policy at this institution."
