Tips & Strategies

Ez to get raw prime fish meat from them
I see the big ones frequently, and I recommend you catch it with a fishing rod. The bigger it is the better the rewards. I got a weapon blueprint once, the piranhas can be decent too sometimes but, salmon are way better. Well, usually they are, it's best to fish for them that to kill them regularly. Hope this helps.
If you attack it it gives you tasty food and a beating from the fish gang
(You probably lose the tasty food after the beating)
I found a 4.5 size and fed it to a 150 Hesperides and it instantly tamed
I saw one that made me not believe my eyes.
One that glimmered and shined with colors unique.
I saw one with red scales so bright,
That became every color of the rainbow under the light.
I chased and pursued it, but never caught up.
Until one day I found it again.
And let’s just say,
It lives in the lake inside my base today.
What I usually do is go through the lake and harpoon kill any that are 1.4x or less. Then I set traps and punch one of them, it'll grab the aggro from the others. Now you have 5 angry fish coming at you and your line of baskets.
The moment one of them is within range, just grab them in the basket line.
Wearing flak or riot gear is suggested but not necessary since 80% of the lake fish are dead and the remaining 20% won't deal too much damage
You can tame them with a fish basket, catch them with fish basket and release in water and it's tamed
I tamed this with force tame but you can also tame it with fish basket
I found one the size of me and my brother together!
Place a fish basket to tame this.
Can only be tame with a fish basket but it is not a
Items that is in all the worlds it's only in one if I have
13 like I will make a second one
Why does it say terrestrial for this that don’t make any sense it a feesh it can’t go on land
They spawn way too much in the artifact of the strong cave in the little river… both them and anglers but hey free prime fish.
If you attack one and don't one shot they will attack you I have noticed they won't if you kill one in one hit they will ignore you.
Set fish basket, use honey in last spot of hotbar, wait and they will come, trap the salmon.
Getting salmon for shadowmane
Trap saber salmons in a fish basket, then cryo the fish. Keep them cryoed until you want to tame a shadow, then make another fish basket, release them from the cryo and trap them again. Put the fish basket in your hot bar and submerge yourself to reset their timer. No wasting fish baskets. Get lots of fungal wood to make more baskets as they will destroy after you "tame". Also don't punch them because they tell their friends and fck you up

They’re scared of baskets so if you want one make a pen
