A Pet fish may be obtained from Harry's Fishing Shop in Catherby, provided that the player has a fishbowl containing water and seaweed (in that order). Players will need to use fish food on their pet fish to keep it alive.

To make a pet fish the player must perform the following steps, or purchase the relevant items:

• Obtain a fishbowl by either trading with other players or making one. To make one follow these steps:
  1. Cook some seaweed on a range to make soda ash.
  2. Use the soda ash with a bucket of sand on a furnace to make molten glass.
  3. Use a glassblowing pipe on the molten glass to make a fishbowl.
• Fill the fishbowl with water (from a water source like a sink or from a bucket of water).
• Put a piece of seaweed in the fishbowl.
• Speak to Harry in the fish store in south-east Catherby and buy a tiny net for 10 gold coins.
• Use the tiny net on one of the aquarium fishing spots in Harry's shop to catch a fish.

Talk-At:

• Good fish. Just keep swimming... swimming... swimming...
• The fish swims. It is clearly an obedient fish.

Play-With:

• If character is male: "Jump! C'mon, girl! Jump!", if character is female: "Jump! C'mon boy! Jump!".
• The fish bumps into the side of the fishbowl. Then it swims some more.
• Good fish...

Drop:

• If you drop your fishbowl it will break!
• Drop it regardless / Keep hold

[edit] Feeding your fish

Of course you must feed your little critter! Fish food can be found on the second floor of Draynor Manor. After you have fed your fish, the box contains nothing in it, making it an empty box. You can either travel back to Draynor, or you can create your own fishfood, as long as you still have the empty box.

[edit] Making the food

The following steps show how to make fish food;

Items needed:

• Crushed Guam (Made by using Guam leaves with a Pestle and mortar)

• Crushed seaweed (Made by using seaweed with a Pestle and mortar)

• Empty fish food box (If you lose the empty fish food box, you may ask Harry for another)

First add the crushed Guam to the Empty fish food box. Then, use the crushed seaweed. Congratulations, you have made fish food!

[edit] Trivia

• "Just keep swimming...swimming...swimming" is a reference to Dory from Finding Nemo.
• When pet fish were first released, prices for seaweed jumped as high as 5,000 coins (possibly higher), and many players, particularly in Catherby, made a lot of money selling it.
• If any item except fish food is used on the pet fish you get the message "Your fish looks at you strangely. You get the feeling this will not work."
• Fish can be put in menagerie.
