Palia: Where to Find & Catch Cantankerous Koi

Players can catch various fish types in Palia while doing the Fishing Guild. Catching Uncommon and rare fish is the crucial step of leveling up the Fishing Guild to unlock advanced versions of the Fishing Rod as well as new items and crafting recipes at the Fishing Guild Store. One of the Uncommon fish that players can catch is a Cantankerous Koi which Tau currently needs.

This guide will walk you through where to find and catch Cantankerous Koi in Palia.

Where to Find Cantankerous Koi in Palia

Cantankerous Koi can be found in Ponds during Day (6 AM – 6 PM) and Night (9 PM – 3 AM) in-game time. There are several ponds in Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay, and you can go to any pond location to try and find Cantankerous Koi. However, the Mirror Pond Ruins located northwest of the Kilima Valley is the pond we recommend for catching Cantankerous Koi. 

How to Catch Cantankerous Koi in Palia

Upon reaching the pond in Kilima Valley, equip the fishing rod and cast the line in the water without equipping any bait. Cast the line as far as you can with your fishing rod and wait for the bobber to shake three times. As the bobber starts to move after the third shake, reel in the fish by holding the Left-Click Button and moving the mouse to keep the fish inside the brackets to catch the fish.

Uses of Cantankerous Koi in Palia

A Cantankerous Koi can be sold for 100 Gold (Base) or 150 Gold (Star Quality) to Zeki or at the Shipping Bin. Moreover, you can also gift it to certain villagers who like it or those who need it. Currently, Tau needs a Cantankerous Koi until September 22, 2024, so if you caught one, bring it to him.
