The Lava Eel is a fish that can be caught during all times and seasons in the Mines on the 100th floor and at the Volcano Caldera. It is the only fish that can spawn in lava.

In the Mines, the chances of hooking a Lava Eel depends on fishing level and equipment of the farmer, as well as the fishing zone of the fished tile. The base chance of hooking a Lava Eel is 1.8%, which is increased by 0.32% per Fishing Level, and 0.08% per fishing zone. This is increased by a further 4% if a Curiosity Lure is equipped, and by 8% if Lava Eel Bait is equipped.[1] For example, at level 10 fishing and in fishing zone 5, the chance of hooking a Lava Eel is 5.4%. This increases to 9.4% with a Curiosity Lure equipped, to 13.4% with Lava Eel Bait equipped, and to 17.4% with both a Curiosity Lure and Lava Eel Bait equipped.

At the Volcano Caldera, a Lava Eel can only be hooked if the Farmer has a Fishing level of 7 or higher. Assuming that the 'Physics 101' painting was not caught, there is a 10% chance to potentially hook a Lava Eel, multiplied by the fishing zone of the fished tile, for a maximum of 50% in fishing zone 5. If this first chance succeeds, there is then a 5% base chance to successfully hook the fish, increased by 2% per Fishing Level, and reduced by 0.5% if in fishing zone 1. This second chance is multiplied by 1.66 if Lava Eel Bait is equipped, and then the farmer's Daily Luck is added to the final result.[2] In addition, if Lava Eel Bait is equipped, the makes a second attempt to hook a Lava Eel if the first attempt failed. Overall, at level 10 fishing and in fishing zone 5, the chance of hooking a Lava Eel is 11.9%. This increases to 35.5% with Lava Eel Bait equipped. A Curiosity Lure should not be used, as it substantially reduces your chance to hook a Lava Eel in this location.[3]

Of the non-legendary fish, it is the fish with the highest sell price and the second highest difficulty fish (after Octopus, tied with the Scorpion Carp).

Tailoring

Lava Eels can be placed in a Fish Pond, where they will reproduce every 5 days. The initial pond capacity is 1 fish, but the capacity can be increased to 10 by completing four quests. After the first quest is completed, the color of the pond water changes to red. The primary output is red Lava Eel Roe, but Gold Ore is possible starting at population 3 and several more valuable items are possible starting at population 8.
