Tips & Strategies
This thing is deadly, was moving my Rex's across the river then found 3 feeds "Your t-rex has been killed by a coelacanth"... F for Johnny, ham, wom.
They are literally harmless and do no damage. The only way you can die from it is drowning. But if you do want to tame it use a fishing basket.
You can only get the baskets if you have abbarant (sorry I can’t remember the name my bad).
These are insane! Really wild card this is more of a boss don’t you think? I mean these things are killing machines!! Here’s how to kill one, first get a few titantosaurs, gigas, wyverns, and a 300-400 quetzal. Build a tek base on the quetzal and whistle follow for wyverns and Titans. Make them face one side of the beast and gigas on the other, then whistle attack, all pets must be 300 level or more, you may lose a few in the process though. Get out your strongest weapons, only ranged, far ranged because they can send tsunami waves at you and your tames. Attack with your pets and hope for the best. Do the same for taming but bring MANY MANY more large animals, make sure they don’t attack, they are for the taming sacrifices. Knock out with turrets and cannons on a quetzal. Their unconscious is 25 times as fast as a gigas so bring bio toxin in the millions. You will have to kill your tames for the coelacanth to eat, they will only eat the following animals, Gigas, wyverns, griffins, titantosaurs, phoenix’s, unicorns, and quetzals over he level of 200. This taming will take around 14-15 hours. Good luck players! Or you can tame it passively which is around 10 times as hard as knocking it out!

If you actually wanna tame one of these, I believe you need a fish basket
Unlike the other creatures in the game, this fish here is actually meant to resemble a variety of different species and subspecies. This is why they come in a huge variety of colors and sizes. Also the bigger fish do give more meat, and may give more prime fish when killed by the correct creature. They can sometimes cause lag due to how many of them spawn, these tasty fish spawn in the hundreds
You can kill this living fish and take it's meat. But the heinas piranhas keep coming and attacking be careful
Why do people confuse these with piranhas?
Dont tamd it, its gonna starve due to it being unable to eat
You guys...this is the only creature in the game that is still around today. You’re welcome. That’ll be a Jeopardy clue, I bet you.
Use fish basket thingy and it should tame fairly quick
If you see these animals you better run away cuz these thing can kill titanosuars. to tame you must acquire 300 rocket launcher ammo and shoot the monsters head. After about 278 rocket launcher hits in the head It will be nocked out. To tame you have to feed it extraordinary kibble but I recommend not cuz it will take 400 of that. It will be better to feed it artifacts. Best artifact to use is artifact of the immune.
