Line 10:
Line 10: − A fish pond can hold and raise most types of [[fish]], including [[Night Market]] fish, [[Crab Pot]] fish and [[The Beach|beach]] forageables such as [[Sea Urchin]]s and [[Coral]]. [[Clam]] is not considered a fish, and so cannot live in a Fish Pond. 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]], as well as the 5 legendary fish in the Qi's extended family quest, [[Ms. Angler]], [[Glacierfish Jr.]], [[Son of Crimsonfish]], [[Radioactive Carp]] and [[Legend II]]. Fish thrown in the pond also reproduce up to the limit of their pond, except for [[Tiger Trout]], which cannot reproduce.+ + + + + + + + + + +
overhaul and slightly expand the paragraph on what can go into a fish pond to hopefully make it easier to read and understand
The '''Fish Pond''' is a type of [[Carpenter's Shop#Farm Buildings|farm building]] purchasable from [[Robin]] at the [[Carpenter's Shop]]. It takes two days to build and occupies a 5x5 tile space.

The following can be placed in a Fish Pond:
* All fish caught with [[Tools#Fishing Poles|Fishing Rod]] or [[Crab Pot]], except Legendary fish and Qi's Extended Family
* [[Coral]] and [[Sea Urchin]] (for simplicity, these are included when referencing fish in a Fish Pond, even though they are otherwise considered forage and not fish)
The following cannot be placed in a Fish Pond:
* Legendary fish ([[Legend]], [[Mutant Carp]], [[Crimsonfish]], [[Glacierfish]], and [[Angler]])
* Qi's Extended Family ([[Ms. Angler]], [[Glacierfish Jr.]], [[Son of Crimsonfish]], [[Radioactive Carp]] and [[Legend II]])
* [[Clam]], which is an option in one of the Fish Tank bundles but is not a fish
* [[Green Algae]], [[Seaweed]], and [[White Algae]], which count for the Master Angler achievement but are not fish
Fish in a Fish Pond have a chance to produce [[Roe]] or certain other items. The chance of producing an item and the item produced is determined randomly based on the contents and population of the Fish Pond. Also, fish reproduce up to the limit of their Fish Pond, except [[Tiger Trout]], [[Coral]], and [[Sea Urchin]], which do not reproduce. The time it takes for a new fish to spawn varies from 1 to 5 days, depending on the fish.
Fish can be harvested one at a time by casting the fishing pole into the pond. Harvested fish are always of regular quality (even if higher quality fish were thrown into the pond). Although energy is consumed when casting the rod into the pond, a simplified mechanism is used for catching the fish: fish are caught automatically (without the minigame), no [[bait]] is consumed, and the durability of [[tackle]] is not depleted. The fish do not count towards the [[Collections|Fish Collection]], and no fishing experience is gained by harvesting fish from a pond. However, fishing experience is gained when completing fish pond [[#Quests|quests]] or collecting items [[#Produce|produced]] by a pond.
