The Fish Bowl, Gold Fish Bowl (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), Pupfish Bowl (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), and Lava Serpent Bowl (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) are decorative furniture items. The Fish Bowl and Gold Fish Bowl also double as wearable items that can be equipped in the player's helmet slot.

Fish Bowls cause only visual effects when placed in the helmet vanity slot. When instead placed in the functional head armor slot, the breath meter appears as if the player were underwater, and if worn long enough the player will drown and die. Breathing aids like the Breathing Reed or Gills Potion will allow for normal breathing when wearing the bowl.

The Fish, Gold Fish and Pupfish Bowls are crafted, while the Lava Serpent Bowl has a 39/200 (19.5%) chance of being found inside Obsidian Crates and Hellstone Crates.

Notes

  • On Desktop version Desktop, Console version Console, and Mobile version Mobile, wearing a Fish Bowl will activate the Merfolk appearance but no buff when the Neptune's Shell is equipped; on Old-gen console version Old-gen console and 3DSNintendo 3DS version, it will not.
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) When placed, attempting to destroy a Fish Bowl with a pickaxe or drill will not drop it, so it cannot be recovered once placed. However, it is possible to retrieve it by breaking the blocks beneath it.

Tips

  • The Fish Bowl sells for 20 SC, while its components only net 7 SC54 CC in total when sold (12 SC46 CC / 62.3% less).

Trivia

  • Fish Bowls will not turn red during a Blood Moon.
  • The Gold Fish Bowl's tooltip, "'Is it a gold bowl? Or a gold fish?'", is a reference to the ambiguous name which could either mean a fish bowl which is gold, or a bowl containing a gold fish.
  • The Lava Serpent seems to be the alive form of Bone Serpents, as it is mentioned in their Bestiary entry that they had obsidian scales: "Mighty serpentine dragons once ruled hell, but long ago shed their obsidian scales. A skeletal husk is all that remains."
  • The Lava Serpent Bowl's tooltip, "'No, you can't wear it on your head'", is referencing the fact that the Fish Bowl and the Gold Fish Bowl are wearable as a helmet. These water-filled bowls are also dangerous to wear as they can cause the player to drown, but wearing a lava-filled bowl would be much more dangerous.
