Template:Food

This article is about tropical fish in its food form. For the mob form of tropical fish/clownfish, see Tropical Fish. For other uses, see Fish.

Tropical fish is a food item that cannot be cooked.

Obtaining

Fishing

The most common way of obtaining tropical fish is fishing. The wait time of one being caught is decreased with the Lure enchantment and the chance of one being caught is slightly decreased with the Luck of the Sea enchantment (named as such because it increases treasure, not fish).

Tropical fish cannot be caught when fishing in jungle biome and variants.‌[Bedrock Edition only]

Mob drops

Guardians and elder guardians have a 2.5% chance of dropping a random fish upon death. This has a 2% chance of being tropical fish. The chance of getting the fish drop can be increased by 1% per level of Looting, but the type of fish is not affected.

Tropical fish always drop 1 tropical fish in its item form when killed.

Usage

Food

Tropical fish restores 0.2% hunger.

Cats

It can only help gain an ocelot's trust in Java Edition.

Trading

Expert-level fisherman villagers have a 17 chance to buy a single tropical fish for one emerald.‌[Bedrock Edition only]

Expert-level fisherman villagers always offer to buy 6 tropical fish for an emerald.‌[Java Edition only]

Wolves

In Bedrock Edition, tropical fish can be used to feed wolves, heal them by 1♥. However, unlike other wolf food, tropical fish cannot be used to breed or speed up the growth of baby wolves. Tropical fish can be fed only to a wolf that is not at full health.
