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]], 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.

Catching and removing all the fish simply reduces the pond population but does not reset the pond. Only the same species of fish can be added to the pond; all quest-related capacity increases are retained.

Selecting the “empty pond” option in the fish pond fully resets the pond, returning it to the same state as a newly built pond. However, all fish in the pond are lost. To avoid this, catch and remove all of the fish before resetting the pond.

Selecting the “empty pond” option in the fish pond fully resets the pond, returning it to the same state as a newly built pond. Any remaining fish in the pond will flop out.

==Quests==

==Quests==

The fish population does not immediately increase when a quest is complete. Instead, the fish spawning clock resets to zero days, and the next population increase happens <samp>Spawn_Frequency</samp> days later. This means that even if a fish quest is completed immediately, the fish population takes more than twice as long to increase each time there is a quest.  For example, instead of taking 45 days for an [[Ice Pip]] pond to reach a population of 10, it takes at least 69 days (assuming only one initial fish is thrown into the pond).

Fish ponds may produce items in the chum bucket daily, with items being more likely at higher fish populations.  The most common item is [[Roe]], but at high populations, some fish can produce rare or valuable items.  

Fish ponds may produce items in the chum bucket daily, with items being more likely at higher fish populations.  The most common item is [[Roe]], but at high populations, some fish can produce rare or valuable items. A [[Golden Animal Cracker]] can be thrown into the fish pond to upgrade and double its output, with a visual indicator of turning the chum bucket golden. This can be reverted by emptying the pond with the “empty pond” option.

Any produced items are collected by clicking on the fish pond. Uncollected items only persist to the next day if new items are not produced; otherwise the new items replace the uncollected items. Collecting an item grants [[Fishing]] XP according to <code>XP = 10  + (0.04 &times; the sell price of the item)</code>
