All Fish & Rarity Tiers - Fish an Anime RNG Wiki
The full rarity ladder, what each tier pays, and how the collection system tracks every catch you will ever reel in.
Overview
Fish an Anime RNG does not publish an official list of every catch, but the community has mapped the ladder clearly: five rarity tiers, plus mutated variants on top. This page is the complete breakdown of how the pool works.
How the Fish Pool Works
Every pond pulls from a pool of anime characters, and each catch rolls a rarity that sets its drop chance and base income. Higher ponds carry better pools, which is why unlocking the next pond is always the first goal of the progression path.
There is no single named best fish in official materials — value comes from the tier, not the character. Two catches in the same tier earn similarly, so experienced players chase tiers first and favorite characters second — and the best fish guide ranks by tier value for the same reason.
Rarity Tiers at a Glance
The full ladder from Common to Secret, with what each step means for your drop odds and your base income. Exact rates drift between updates, but the tier order stays fixed — match every pull against this ladder, the same reference the best fish guide uses, and you always know whether a catch deserves a base slot.
| Tier | Drop Chance | Cash Value |
|---|---|---|
| Common | Very high | Low |
| Uncommon | High | Modest |
| Rare | Medium | High |
| Legendary | Low | Very high |
| Secret | Extremely low | Top earner |
Collection Categories
Your collection screen groups catches into categories, and completing each one feeds into bonuses, badges, and bragging rights. Here is what each bucket contains and how it interacts with the rest of the wiki — treat every card below as its own checklist, starting with the mutations bucket.
Common & Uncommon
The backbone of any early base — easy catches that fund your first upgrades.
Rare & Legendary
Premium pulls that carry mid-game income and look great in the base.
Secret Tier
Hidden catches with special spawn conditions covered in the secret fish guide.
Mutated Variants
Rare versions of any tier with multiplied earnings, detailed in the mutation guide.
Fill the Collection Faster
Collection completion is a marathon, but the route is well mapped by the community. These four habits compress months of casual play into weeks of focused hunting, and each one builds on the guides linked below — especially the best fish route that decides where you hunt first.
Unlock ponds early
Every new pond adds catches to your reachable pool — prioritize the unlock over small upgrades.
Hunt boosted
Run luck potions and relic stats during every serious session; unboosted hunting is slow by comparison.
Track the missing
Keep a list of tiers you have not seen and check the collection screen after each session.
Trade duplicates smart
Sell extras to fund unlocks, but never sell a mutated catch before comparing its multiplier.
What Counts Toward the Collection
Not everything you pull feeds the collection log the same way, and knowing the difference stops you from over-grinding the wrong pond at the wrong time. These are the entries that actually move your completion percentage — check the secret fish conditions before any marathon session.
- First-time catches of every character in a pond
- Secret fish revealed under their special conditions
- Mutated variants recorded as separate collection entries
- Tier completion milestones per pond
- Event-exclusive catches during limited windows
When the List Is 'Complete'
A finished collection is a long-term badge, not a quick goal. Most players treat all tiers in the highest pond as the soft cap, then keep hunting secret fish and mutations as the endless tail of the grind — the stretch where most long-time players actually spend their hours.
Until then, the best fish guide is your reference for which catches actually pay the bills, and this list is the map. Check one against the other before every session and you will never grind a pond that cannot improve you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many fish are in Fish an Anime RNG?
The game does not publish an official count, but the community tracks five rarity tiers plus mutated variants across each pond.
What is the rarest tier?
Secret sits at the top of the ladder with extremely low drop odds, and some secret catches only appear under special spawn conditions.
Does a higher tier always earn more?
Yes — every tier step raises the base cash-per-second value of a catch, and secret-tier pulls earn the most per base slot.
Are mutated fish in the collection?
Mutated variants record as separate collection entries with their own badges, so hunters track them alongside the normal five-tier ladder.
Which pond has the best pool?
Your highest unlocked pond always carries the best pool, because every new unlock raises the ceiling of what you can catch.
Do secret fish count toward tier completion?
Secret catches usually sit outside the normal tier ladder, so tier completion progress tracks them separately from your main collection.
Can I complete the collection without rebirth?
Rebirth keeps your collection intact, so completing the collection and resetting for multipliers are fully independent — hunt without fear of losing entries.
