Tips & Strategies

dont even try to tame without aroud 10-15 basilos with over 20k health to tank its attacks while you shoot harpoons at it, it takes around 100-150 harpoons to finally knock it out and once you do its torpor fully decreases in 54 seconds, meaning you need thousands of bio toxin and 15x soothing balm on mobile

Don't tame near water or it will drown
Itβs a harmless fish and if you die to it then ark is not the game for you
These are the most violent creature in game. You need at least 3 people, 10 Gigas max level, a platform quetzal, with cannon balls about 250 minimum. A couple rex's hopefully max level health. Now build a simple trap out of metal spikes. Now find one of these beasts, very carefully line up your Gigas, and rex's. These are sacrifices for the Coelacanth to eat while you shoot carefully from your queztal, have the other people shoot as well. Finally feed the beast kibble.

Unfortunately, you cannot craft fish baskets on mobile. I am sorry fellow mobile players. I reached level 100 and its is still not there.
Tamable using fish baskets from aberration.
Find it in the river, kill it and there you go, drag its dead corps around and enjoy :) ( until it decomposes )
So how to really tame it get a fish basket then find one you like then put the fishing basket in front of it then when it gets close press capture fish don't know why people keep lieing about how to tame it.
Sorry ark fu[k you edition 1, and mobile players, you need to buy aberration to tame this creature, truly pay to win :(
You can feed them, I repeat you can feed them! All you have to do is kill a few fish and put the fish meat in their inventory the same goes with the Piranha and Sabertooth Salmon. Also side note you can drag any food item (dead animal) and drop it in front of the Piranhaβs and theyβll eat it.
Hope this helps!
These people are ultra-wrong. It's Tsunami Attack barely hurts. Plus, it almost never uses it.
