Cavefish

The Cavefish are a type of fish that can only be found in the Living Rock Caverns. The Living Rock Caverns can be found underneath the Dwarven Mine, which is located under Falador and extends to the White Mountain. In order to fish raw cavefish you will need a fishing rod (not a fly fishing rod) and normal fishing bait. Players who wish to catch Cavefish should beware of the high level Living Rock Guardians in the area. Fishing with other players can be safer for an individual by spreading the creatures' attacks out amongst the group. Prior to the world list update, worlds 84, 77, and 88 were the unofficial Living Rock Caverns worlds. As of the world list update, world 84 is the official living rock caverns world.

They were introduced with the Living Rock Caverns update on 17 September 2009. They heal between 200 and 1760 life points depending on your Constitution level (up to your max life points) and boost a random combat skill (attack, strength, defence, ranged, or magic) by 2 points. Cavefish, like all other fish, are consumed in one bite.

Players need 85 Fishing to catch cavefish, and 88 Cooking to cook them. Fishing Cavefish yields 300 experience, while cooking yields 214 experience. Players wearing cooking gauntlets will stop burning Cavefish at level 94 Cooking. By cooking cavefish, players will receive ~269k experience/hour, which is slightly more than sharks.

Trivia

 * The cavefish is based on an actual fish, the Hatchetfish. The real cave fish looks similar, but do not have eyes.
 * Cavefish are commonly bought instead of sharks, as they heal nearly the same amount of lifepoints, often costs slightly less and also increase a random combat stat. The current price of a shark is and the current price of a cavefish is.
