Unlike other commands, fishing has a separate way of organizing your baits, tools, and creatures to help create an immersive experience and make more features possible. If you want to know more about why fishing-related items are different, read the explanation here.

The space for saving what you catch is limited, so you’ll need to learn how to manage your creatures and carefully choose which to sell, keep, or display so you don’t run out of space and can continue to fish.

Buckets and Bucket Slots

Fishing creatures won’t enter your regular inventory and instead will be organized into fish buckets. Each bucket can hold a limited number of fish, but the amount varies for each bucket. You can see how much your buckets can hold in /fish catch or by looking at the /fish buckets command.

Everyone starts off with a small wooden bucket by default, so you can begin fishing right away. New buckets can be purchased from the fish shop or gem shop available in /shop view, and there are places you can earn them, like from the premium season pass. You can only own one of each type of bucket.

To use a bucket, you must equip it in a bucket slot. There are five possible free bucket slots, but only two slots are unlocked to start, and the first one will be filled by the wooden bucket. To unlock more bucket slots, you have to earn skill points and level up the Storage Specialist skill in the science category of /fish skills. Upgrading this skill can also increase the space in your buckets. There is also a sixth bucket slow you can unlock temporarily with gems. This slot will stay unlocked for a limited time, and then you'll need to purchase it again.

Once you have a new bucket, you can equip it with the /fish buckets command. Click the “Manage Slots” button to organize and equip your buckets.

Use the top drop-down menu to pick which bucket slot you want to change. Only slots you’ve unlocked will be available. Then, use the second drop-down menu to choose which bucket to put in the selected slot. If you remove skill points that give you access to a bucket, the bucket will become locked and you won't be able to use it, but you'll still be able to sell any fish within it or to unequip the bucket if it is empty.

Eventually, you’ll probably own more buckets than bucket slots, but you cannot store creatures in the non-equipped buckets. Before removing a bucket, you must sell or move the creatures within it. You can read more about how to earn skill points so you can unlock bucket slots in the full fishing tutorial.

Selling, Moving, and Naming Creatures

Once you have a creature in a bucket, you can sell it, move it, and even rename it. If you want to instantly sell all the fish you have in all of your buckets, you can click the “Sell All Fish” button from the main /fish buckets embed. This will take you to a confirmation page where you can sell your fish for coins or Fish Tokens.

Fish Tokens can be used in the fishing shop to buy fishing-related items and equipment. Some fish are worth more coins or fish tokens than others, so if you want the best value for your fish, it is better to pick and choose which fish you sell for coins or tokens based on their value.

If you want to sell fewer fish at a time or see what is in a bucket, do /fish buckets and select a bucket from the drop-down menu for more options.

When viewing a specific bucket, you can click the “Sell All Fish” button to sell only the fish from the bucket viewed instead of from every bucket. If you want to narrow down which fish you are interacting with even more, you can click the "Manage Fish" button.

When managing fish, you can pick and choose specific fish, all the fish on a page, or select fish by type. Once you select some fish, you can sell them or move the fish to a different bucket, making it easy to save fish that you feel are rare or special. You can also give any creature you catch a custom name or move ones you want to display to your fish tank, where they will be saved from being sold.

If you want to save some fish for later, you can also lock a bucket so any fish within it won't be sold if you click "sell all fish." To lock a bucket, click to view the bucket, then click the lock icon. Once you've locked the bucket, you won't be able to unequip or move it, and you can't move or sell any fish within.

Fish Tanks and Decorations

Your fish tank is a showcase for your favorite creatures, and if one tank isn't enough to display all you've caught, you can purchase more fish tanks from the /fish shop. You can also purchase or unlock decorations for your tanks. To move a fish to one of your tanks, view a bucket and choose “Manage Fish.” When moving a fish, the fish tanks are the last options on the list of locations.

When a fish is in your fish tank, it cannot be sold until it is removed. If you want to remove a fish or hide its name, click the “Manage” button for options. You can also use this button to rename your fish tanks so each one has a unique name.

The decorations you’ve unlocked are also visible when managing your fish tank, and from there, you can choose which decorations to display. Every fish tank can hold a limited number of creatures or decorations, but you can unlock more spots by upgrading the Aquarium Keeper skill in the nature category.

You also can view other people’s fish tanks by using the optional user field when doing /fish tank.
