Changes: Fishbowl (pet)

Revision as of 23:10, 18 July 2014

Template:Infobox pet

A pet fish may be obtained from Harry's Fishing Shop in Catherby, by using a tiny net to fish in one of aquarium fishing spots inside the shop. For a player to be able to fish in the aquarium it is necessary for them to have a fishbowl containing water and seaweed in their inventory. Catching a pet fish gives 1 Fishing experience. Pet fish eat fish food. A box of fish food can be found on the second floor of Draynor Manor. Players can also make fish food by adding ground guam and ground seaweed to an empty fish food box.

Types

There are three different types of pet fish. It is possible to own multiple types of pet fish at the same time and to have more than one fish of the same colour. It is not necessary to store a pet fish in a player-owned house menagerie to fish for additional pet fish.

Actions

Players can interact with their pet fish in a number of ways with the following results.

Pet fish right click options — Players can talk to the pet fish, play with it, or feed it

Talk-At

Good fish. Just keep swimming... swimming... swimming...
The fish swims. It is clearly an obedient fish.

Play-With

(If the character is female): "Jump! 'Cmon boy, Jump!"; (If the character is male): "Jump! 'Cmon girl, Jump!".
The fish bumps into the side of the fishbowl. Then it swims some more.
Good fish...

Drop

If you drop your fishbowl it will break!
Drop it regardless / Keep hold

Trivia

"Just keep swimming...swimming...swimming" is a reference to Dory from Finding Nemo.
If any item except fish food is used on the pet fish you get the message "Your fish looks at you strangely. You get the feeling this will not work."
Fish can be put in the menagerie of a player-owned house. However, you will only be able to interact by talking to it.
When catching the pet fish the player is most likely to get a tiny bluefish. A tiny greenfish is less common while a tiny spinefish is considered very rare.
In an experiment conducted where 100 fishbowls were filled, 38 bluefish, 38 greenfish, and 24 spinefish were caught.
You can return your pet fish to the shop in Catherby by using the fishbowl on the aquarium. Doing so will leave you with an empty fishbowl.
A spinefish or a bluefish in a fishbowl could be obtained as a prize from the Squeal of Fortune during the "Squeal of Neptune" promotion.

-== Feeding your fish ==
-[[Fish food]] can be found on the second floor of [[Draynor Manor]]. After they have fed the fish, the box contains nothing in it, making it an empty box. An empty box can also just be obtained from Harry (for free) and the player can create their own fish food as shown below. Players can either travel back to Draynor, or they can create their own fishfood, as long as they still have the empty box. Players can feed the fish in their menagerie.
-== Making the food ==
-The following steps show how to make fish food;
-Items needed:
-*[[Ground guam]] (Made by using [[guam leaves]] with a [[pestle and mortar]])
-*[[Ground seaweed]] (Made by using [[seaweed]] with a pestle and mortar)
-*[[An empty box|Empty fish food box]] (If you don't have or lose an empty fish food box, you may ask [[Harry]] for another)
-First add the crushed guam to the empty fish food box. Then, use the crushed seaweed. Congratulations, you have made fish food!
