It’s way more than 6 minutes per one gel depending on what you’re using it in. 6 minutes in a campfire. Well over 30 minutes in a standing torch.

What you want to do, from a long distance start shooting with a harpoon gun, but always wait like a second or two because you could accidentally shoot it and bring down his efficiency to tame, since they don’t level up very well after being tamed.

They are very good at harvesting pearls. Another good use is their incredible gel. You get way more gel from an angler than from snails.

I went out of my way to tame this for black pearls but I realized my 140% apprentice pickaxe gathers slightly more than the angler even though I pumped points into melee.

Wow what a Bob fish ! The best tame for underwater exploration! lvl 216 with good stats! Amazing! :-)

An angler combined with a flying tame is the best way to get silica pearls to your base, take a flying tame with lots of weight when you are collecting silica pears, when you're done dump all the pearls into your flier and fly back to your base

If you had these guys to light up your water pens it's time to dust them off. They now gather pearls.
