| Fish Pond | |
 | |
| Raise fish and harvest their produce. Fish multiply over time. | |
| Information | |
| Build cost: |  5,000g
|
| Build materials: |  Stone (200) Seaweed (5) Green Algae (5)
|
| Size: | 5x5 |
The Fish Pond is a type of farm building purchasable from Robin at the Carpenter's Shop. It takes three days to build and occupies a 5x5 tile space.
A fish pond can hold and raise most types of fish, including Night Market fish, Crab Pot fish and beach forageables such as Sea Urchins and Coral. The fish produce Roe and random items. The only fish which cannot live in the fish pond are the five legendary fish: Legend, Mutant Carp, Crimsonfish, Glacierfish, and Angler. (Clam is not considered a fish, and so cannot live in a Fish Pond.) Fish thrown in the pond also reproduce up to the limit of their pond, except for Tiger Trout, which cannot reproduce. You can harvest one fish by casting your fishing line into the pond. The fish will be caught automatically without the minigame. A harvested fish is always of regular quality.
Each pond holds only one type of fish at a time. You populate a pond by throwing in a fish. Attempting to throw in a legendary fish yields a prompt saying "The [fish] wouldn't be happy in there." Attempting to throw a fish into a pond that already contains a different type of fish yields a prompt saying that type of fish doesn't want to live in a pond of another type.
The initial capacity of a pond is three fish, except for the following fish for which the initial capacity is only one: Blobfish, Ghostfish, Ice Pip, Lava Eel, Slimejack, Stonefish, Sturgeon, Void Salmon, Woodskip. Template:Review
Empty Pond
Fishing all the fish from a pond does not "empty the pond". The pond retains its capacity and still can accommodate only the type of fish that were harvested from it. Selecting the “empty pond” option in the fish pond menu empties the pond but any fish inside are lost. Emptying a pond also resets it so that it may be repopulated with any allowed type of fish and returns it to its initial capacity.
Quests
After populating the pond, when the fish reproduce themselves to the pond's capacity, an exclamation point appears in the center of the pond, indicating you have a fish quest waiting. Fulfilling a quest raises the capacity of the pond, which can continue up to a maximum capacity of 10 fish. The quests vary in difficulty depending on the rarity and type of fish.
Note that Coral and Sea Urchin will not make requests, their population will automatically increase at the rate indicated in the "Spawn Frequency" column.
Produce
Fish ponds may produce items in the chum bucket daily. The chance that a Fish Pond will produce an item starts with the equation (0.15 + 0.08 * population of pond). If a random number is less than the result of the equation, then the game will load the fish pond's data, and test for pond-specific produce. Otherwise, the pond will produce nothing.
The table below shows all possible Fish Pond products, along with the percent chance the item will appear, assuming the pond passes the check for producing something shown in the equation above.
Note that each percent chance is specified in an underlying data file, so the totals for each pond do not add up to 100%. The game code processes the chance for items from top to bottom as listed in the underlying data file. If any item is produced at any point, the checking stops, and the pond produces the item.

Fishing Experience
Harvesting a fish pond (i.e., collecting an item from the chum bucket) grants Fishing XP according to the following equation:
10 + (0.4 × the sell price of the item)
Notes
- The Lava Eel, Super Cucumber, Slimejack, and Void Salmon change the color of the water upon completing the first quest.
- Placing a sign (stone or wood) on the pond will turn it into a counter of how many fish are inside, with a sprite of the fish visible on the sign, and a number in the lower right corner.
- The pond can be used to refill Watering Cans
- After raising a pond full of 10 Crabs, the next time the player talks to Willy, he will have special dialogue, and give the player a special gift.
