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.

If a Fish Pond produces any amount of [[Roe]], the game generates a random number between 0 and 1. If it is less than 0.2, the quantity of the Roe produced increases by 1. This repeats until the random number is greater than or equal to 0.2, at which point the chance for the quantity of the Roe to increase ends. This, on average, will give 0.25 extra Roe. This increase is taken into account before the doubling from the [[Golden Animal Cracker]].<ref name="extraroe" />
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.

Each pond holds only one type of fish at a time. Ponds are populated by holding the desired fish (with the inventory menu closed) and right-clicking on the pond to "throw" the fish in. Attempting to throw in a [[Fish#Legendary Fish|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 standard initial capacity of a pond is three fish. Several rare fish have an initial capacity of just one fish, namely [[Blobfish]], [[Ghostfish]], [[Ice Pip]]s, [[Lava Eel]]s, [[Slimejack]]s, [[Stonefish]], [[Sturgeon]]s, [[Void Salmon]]s, and [[Woodskip]]s. Conversely, [[Tiger Trout]], [[Sea Urchin]]s, and [[Coral]] have an initial capacity of ten.

A fish pond can be emptied either by using a fishing rod to catch and remove each fish, or by selecting the “empty pond” option in the fish pond menu.
A fish pond can be emptied either by using a fishing rod to catch and remove each fish or by selecting the “empty pond” option in the fish pond menu.
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. This can be avoided by catching and removing all 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. If a [[Golden Animal Cracker]] was used on the fish pond, it will disappear permanently.
==Quests==
==Quests==
Fish in a pond will reproduce at a fixed rate until they reach the pond's capacity, at which point an exclamation point appears in the center of the pond, indicating there is a fish quest waiting. Fulfilling a quest raises the capacity of the pond, which can continue up to a maximum capacity of 10 fish.
Fish in a pond reproduce at a fixed rate until they reach the pond's current capacity. Fish quests allow the player to increase the capacity of the pond, up to a maximum capacity of 10 fish.
The fish spawn frequency is species dependent, and ranges from 1 to 5 days for most fish (the one exception is [[Tiger Trout]], which does not reproduce). More expensive fish spawn more slowly. Fish will reproduce even if only one fish is present in the pond. Instead of waiting for fish spawning, more fish can be thrown into the pond up to its current capacity.

Fish will reproduce even if only one fish is present in the pond. Instead of waiting for fish spawning, more fish can be thrown into the pond up to its current capacity.
A new fish quest is initiated when population growth is prevented by the pond capacity. If the player throws fish into a pond to reach capacity, the player will have to wait 1-5 days for the fish quest to start. (Adding fish to the pond does not reset the fish spawning clock, so the next quest will start <samp>Spawn_Frequency</samp> days after the last spawning event or completed quest).
A new fish quest is initiated when population growth is prevented by the pond capacity. This is indicated by an exclamation point appearing in the center of the pond. A quest is not triggered if the player throws fish into a pond to reach capacity. Instead, the player must wait 1-5 days for the fish quest to start. (Adding fish to the pond does not reset the fish spawning clock, so the next quest will start <samp>Spawn_Frequency</samp> days after the last spawning event or completed quest). Also, removing fish from a pond with an active quest disables the quest and removes the quest exclamation point, but it does not reset the quest -- as soon as the pond returns to capacity, the quest resumes with the same item requested again.
The fish quests require the player to fetch a specified number of one item and throw it into the pond. If multiples of an item are requested, they are added one at a time, meaning different qualities can be combined. When a quest is completed, the fish will jump out of the pond and thank the player (using one of 19 responses). Also, the player is granted 25-45 [[Fishing#Experience Points|Fishing XP]] (dependent upon the fish spawning frequency, <code>XP = 20 + 5 × Spawn_Frequency</code>).

The possible items depend upon the fish species and the pond capacity. When multiple items are possible for a given quest (or when the number of requested items is variable), the details of the request are randomly selected when the quest initiates. The random selection is seeded based on the fish pond location and day when the quest initiated; reloading a game save will not alter the selection. Also, note that although removing fish from the pond removes the quest exclamation fish point, it does not reset the quest -- as soon as the pond returns to capacity, the same quest item will be requested.

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]] 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 × the sell price of the item)</code>
