Pull a Lucky Fish Fish List: Names & Rarities
Fish names confirmed across recorded Pull a Lucky Fish gameplay, how rarity bands and mutations differ, and why Boss Fish cannot be AFK farmed.
Fish names confirmed in gameplay
This list is built from 83 recorded gameplay sessions, not from a data dump. Every name below appears in what players actually said while fishing. The confidence column is honest about how often we saw each name, because a name heard once may be a caption error or a one-off event fish.
| Name | What the recordings show | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Kraken | Named repeatedly across sessions; also appears with a Kraken mutation variant | High |
| Squid | Commonly caught; one session advises avoiding it for income | High |
| Sunfish | Appears as an upgrade target in multiple sessions | High |
| Dolphin | Caught and placed; one session records 165,000 for a placed dolphin | High |
| Alien Fish | Appears alongside Prism Fish in a late-session island setup | High |
| Prism Fish | Appears alongside Alien Fish; often part of a high-income island | High |
| Blobfish | Caught in multiple sessions; treated as a low-value result | Medium |
| Clown Fish | Named when a Cat mutation gave it visible cat ears | Medium |

| Viper | Named catch | Medium |
| Angel Piranha | Named catch | Medium |
| Coral Ray | Named catch | Medium |
| Seahorse | A purple variant is caught on a diamond-mutation cast | Medium |
| Starfish | Caught as a Molten variant | Medium |
| Leviathan | Bought or placed as an upgrade that reports a share of your best fish | Low |
| Voidfish | Named in a rare/secret-fish context | Low |
| Codfish | Named catch; linked to a Bloody variant during a blood moon | Low |
| Groper Eel | Named catch | Low |
| Sea Deity | Named as a high-tier catch | Low |

Why there is no price column. A fish’s value is not fixed — it depends on the level upgrades you have applied and on its mutations. The same species can show wildly different income on two islands. The game displays the real number on the fish itself, so read that rather than a table that would be wrong for most players. For nearby species, see the keep-or-replace guide.
Boss Fish and Beasts
These two are the highest-value catch categories and they behave differently, which matters if you farm while away from the keyboard.
- Boss Fish start a short boss fight. Because the fight needs your input, you cannot catch a boss fish while AFK. A recorded session states this explicitly.
- Beasts do not have that restriction. An AFK setup can still land beasts, and one session calls the top beast the best fish in the game at that time.
A recording that targets both describes a deliberate float setup: get three rolled dice for an extra rolling slot, then two Beast Hunter floats, then set throw power very low (around 0.01) so casts stay short, and configure auto-sell to keep only beasts and boss fish. The short cast is the counter-intuitive part — it is about cycling rolls quickly rather than reaching a high zone.
That setup is one creator’s method from a single session. It is internally consistent and worth trying, but we have not reproduced it. Auto-sell settings also delete fish permanently, so set the filter before you walk away.
Species, rarity and mutation are three different things
Most confusion about this game comes from collapsing three separate labels into one ladder.
| Label | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Species | The fish itself | Kraken, Sunfish, Blobfish |
| Rarity band | Which zone tier the catch came from | Uncommon, Epic, Legendary, Mythic |
| Mutation | A modifier applied on top | Gold, Diamond, Molten, Cat, Bloody |
A single fish can hold all three, and it can hold more than one mutation. So “Bloody” is not a fish and not a rarity — it is a mutation, and the mutation guide has the multipliers. Equally, a zone name tells you how far you threw, not what you caught.
Which fish should I place or replace?
For money, compare the income the two fish show at their current levels and mutations. For collection, keep the entry you still need even if its income is lower. Those are different goals, and a collection catch does not have to replace your best earner.
Worked example: replacing a placed fish at 120/s with one at 90/s loses 30/s no matter how impressive the new fish’s rarity label looks. The arithmetic is on the money guide, and the income planner runs it with your own numbers.
Fish questions
How many fish are in Pull a Lucky Fish?
No source publishes a complete fish count. The game has a handbook and an Index that fill in as you discover fish, and one recorded session notes a base upgrade requiring about 75% of fish discovered, which implies a large roster. This page lists only names we could confirm in gameplay recordings.
What is the rarest fish in Pull a Lucky Fish?
We will not name one. A single session reports a Golden SCP-173 at a stated 1-in-217,790, but that is one creator's claim and no source publishes a full odds table. A rarity label is not the same as the lowest drop rate.
What is a Boss Fish?
A Boss Fish is a catch that starts a short boss fight before you can land it. The practical consequence is that you cannot catch one while AFK, because the fight needs input. Beasts do not have that restriction, so an AFK setup can still land beasts.
What is a Beast in Pull a Lucky Fish?
Beast is a high-tier catch category. Recordings describe it as a jackpot-style roll, and one float setup is specifically designed to farm beasts and boss fish. Treat beast as a tier label rather than a single species.
Is Bloody a fish or a rarity?
Bloody is a mutation, not a species. A fish carries a species name, a rarity band and a mutation label at the same time. Do not collapse those into one ladder.
