Which fish are worth keeping and selling
If you’re like me then most of your time in Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be spent fishing. The gleefully simple minigame offers a bit of a challenge while also delivering a ton of Bells for use in building up and customizing your new island paradise. But if you’re really like me then you’ll start to get angry with all the fish cluttering your inventory. Which ones are worth selling? Definitely not the sea bass, but how about the rest? Here’s a simple Animal Crossing: New Horizons fish prices guide to break it down.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fish Prices Guide
If you want to know which are worth keeping and which you should release then just check the price below. It’s in alphabetical order so you can scroll to what you want to check. As you can see, prices range from as low as 100 Bells for a tadpole to 15,000 Bells for a coelacanth.
Anchovy – 200 Angelfish – 3,000 Arapaima – 10,000 Arowana – 10,000 Barred knifejaw – 5,000 Barreleye – 15,000 Betta – 2,500 Bitterling – 900 Black bass – 320 Blowfish – 5,000 Blue marlin – 10,000 Bluegill – 180 Butterfly fish – 1,000 Carp – 300 Catfish – 800 Char – 3,800 Cherry salmon – 800 Clown fish – 650 Coelacanth – 15,000 Crawfish – 200 Crucian carp – 160 Dab – 300 Dace – 192 Dorado – 15,000 Football fish – 2,500 Freshwater goby – 400 Frog – 120 Gar – 6,000 Giant snakehead – 5,500 Giant trevally – 4,500 Golden trout – 15,000 Goldfish – 1,300 Great white shark – 15,000 Guppy – 1,300 Hammerhead shark – 8,000 Horse mackerel – 150 Killifish – 300 King salmon – 1,800 Koi – 4,000 Loach – 400 Mahi-mahi – 6,000 Mitten crab – 2,000 Moray eel – 2,000 Napoleonfish – 10,000 Neon tetra – 500 Nibble fish – 1,500 Oarfish – 9,000 Ocean sunfish – 4,000 Olive flounder – 800 Pale chub – 200 Pike – 1,800 Piranha – 2,500 Pond smelt – 500 Pop-eyed goldfish – 1,300 Puffer fish – 250 Rainbowfish – 800 Ranchu goldfish – 4,500 Ray – 3,000 Red snapper – 3,000 Ribbon eel – 600 Saddled bichir – 4,000 Salmon – 700 Saw shark – 12,000 Sea bass – 400 Sea butterfly – 1,000 Sea horse – 1,100 Snapping Turtle – 5,000 Soft-shelled turtle – 3,750 Squid – 500 Stringfish – 15,000 Sturgeon – 10,000 Suckerfish – 1,500 Surgeonfish – 1,000 Sweetfish – 900 Tadpole – 100 Tilapia – 800 Tuna – 7,000 Whale shark – 13,000 Yellow perch – 300 Zebra turkeyfish – 500
For me, anything below 500 Bells simply isn’t worth running back to Nook’s Cranny to drop off and sell. I’d rather keep fishing. And once you get the hang of how the silouette indicates what fish you’ll catch you can start skipping ones you are sure won’t be worth the effort. So hopefully this helps you be more productive in the game.
