Golden Carp

The golden carp is a secret decorative item for the fishing pond. It has no function aside from being decorative.

To obtain the golden carp, your fishing pond must contain 10 yellow fish at one time.

Actively fishing is the fastest way to get your 10 yellow fish. Depending on how much time you want to dedicate at one time to doing this, you can get your golden carp in under 24 hours.

You must fish out the red and blue fish until the yellow fish show up. Actively fishing up these red and blue fish are the fastest way to fill your pond up with yellow fish. It seems to take 40-100 attempts at fishing for the yellow to show up in any given spot.

There are 10 spots for fish at any given time. You can shut down your game and re-open and any yellow fish you had previously should still be there (if you had 4 yellow before you shut down, you should still have 4 yellow, though they may be in a different spot). New yellow fish can randomly spawn if you left open spots before you shut down.

Some of these spots can be difficult to fish from. Shutting down and reopening your game (multiple times if necessary) can allow for your fish to spawn in different locations so that you may have an easier time getting the remaining yellow.

Red and blue fish have a slightly larger catch meter than yellow fish. Not landing on the red area of the catch meter if it shows smaller than normal may keep you from fishing up a yellow, but it isn't a foolproof method.

If you are running low on consumable fish, use auto-fishing. Auto-fishing will not take fish from your pond.

Once you have your golden carp, you can resume fishing as normal.
