I’ve caught some strange things in my time playing Fisch, but nothing, and I mean nothing, could have prepared me for the day I reeled in the Toilet Fish. Yes, you read that right. This ‘Secret’ rarity fish is one of the most bizarre, hilarious, and sought-after creatures in the entire game. Its bestiary entry is simply, ‘i need to take a dump.’ which tells you everything you need to know about its sense of humor.

This fish is a clear and direct reference to the popular ‘Skibidi Toilet’ internet series, and its existence is a testament to the developers’ willingness to embrace meme culture. It’s a catch that will make you laugh out loud, but don’t be fooled by its silly appearance. The Toilet Fish is an incredibly challenging catch that will push your skills to the limit.
In this guide, I’ll take you through the specific conditions needed to find this porcelain predator, the intense fight you’ll face, and why this meme-turned-monster is one of the most valuable fish in the game.
🌊 Location: The Open Ocean in Summer
Your hunt for the Toilet Fish will take you to the vast expanse of the Open Ocean in the Second Sea. This is a high-level area, so make sure you’re prepared for the dangers that lurk in its depths. The Toilet Fish is a creature of very specific habits. It only appears during the Summer season, and only during the Day in Clear weather.
These strict requirements mean you have a limited window of opportunity to catch it. I always keep an eye on the weather and calendar, and as soon as the conditions are right, I head straight for the Open Ocean. The preferred bait for this elusive creature is Mist Worms, a rare bait that can be tricky to acquire. I recommend stocking up on them whenever you get the chance.
Because it’s a ‘Secret’ fish, its spawn rate is extremely low even when all the conditions are perfect. When you finally get a bite, a special icon will appear over your head, and you’ll hear a shimmering sound, letting you know you’ve hooked something special. That’s when the real fun begins.
🚽 The Fight: A Truly Skibidi Battle
The Toilet Fish is a shockingly difficult catch. The bestiary accurately describes its movement as erratic. In my experience, it zips across the fishing bar with wild, unpredictable movements. It feels like it’s actively trying to trick you, often darting in one direction before suddenly reversing course. You’ll need to stay on your toes to keep up with it.
Adding to the difficulty is the nasty -65% progress speed decrease. This penalty makes the fight a grueling battle of attrition. Every small mistake is punished severely, and you’ll watch your progress bar deplete with frustrating speed. This is where your stats and gear become absolutely critical.
The trivia section of the bestiary offers a crucial tip: ‘It is recommended to have high Resilience to catch either [the Toilet Fish or the Dogefin], as both have the Extreme Resilience of 6.’ This is not a suggestion; it’s a requirement. I wouldn’t even attempt this fight without a high Resilience stat, which helps reduce the impact of the fish’s erratic movements. A good rod with a progress speed bonus, like the Scarlet Ravenger, is also highly advisable.
💰 Rewards and Trivia
If you manage to overcome the challenge and land a Toilet Fish, you’ll be handsomely rewarded. It has a staggering base value of 1,000 C$ per kg. With an average weight of 11.5 kg, a typical catch is worth a massive 11,500 C$, and a large one can be worth over 40,000 C$! It also gives an incredible 12,000 base XP. This makes it one of the most valuable and sought-after fish for players looking to make money fast.
The catch quips are as hilarious as the fish itself, with phrases like ‘sigma,’ ‘toilet!!!!!’, and ‘so skibidi’ flashing on the screen. It fully embraces the meme culture that inspired it. It’s also interesting to note that for a time, the Toilet Fish was actually unobtainable due to a bug, which only added to its legendary status.
Catching the Toilet Fish is a true badge of honor. It’s a perfect blend of high-level challenge and hilarious, self-aware game design. It proves that you’re an angler who has mastered the game’s mechanics and also has a great sense of humor. It’s a far cry from the majestic seriousness of other secret catches like the Ancient Orca, and that’s what makes it so brilliant.
