ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
At first glance, they seem harmless, until you attack them. You better run, because millions of them will form together into a form that is stronger than titanosaurs. In order to tame one of these, it's somewhat similar to taming a titan. I'd recommend using a quetzal with a platform saddle. First, use Gigas or lots of rexes to lower it's heal to below 50%. After this, it's attacks will be a lot more dangerous and faster, however you can shoot it with Canon balls. This is what the quetzal is for. Put canons on there and start blasting. Depending on the level it will take varying amounts of Canon balls, but bring at least 100. Once you have knocked it out, you will need a TON of extraordinary kibble. Oh, and if you thought a giga's torpor dropped fast, you'll be surprised to see this fish's torpor drain. Bring a TON of biotoxin, and make sure you have no life, but since we're playing ark that's pretty easy. You'll wanna watch it because of the torpor, but it also takes a long time to tame. Don't worry about things attacking it while it's knocked, however. After this you will be the alpha of your server if you manage to tame one of these. While they don't have saddles, they take a 85% damage reduction from all attacks. Use it's main attack for an insanely powerful bite attack, while it's second attack shoots a water beam that makes wyverns look like dodo's.

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.
