The Gold Goldfish is a harmless critter. It is a golden recolor of the ordinary Goldfish, with a 1/400 (0.25%) chance of spawning in place of the ordinary version.

The Gold Goldfish has only 5 health and no defense, and can be damaged by other enemies and players.

The Gold Goldfish can be caught with any Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into animated decorative furniture (Gold Fish Bowl). Once crafted, the Gold Goldfish cannot be released again, unless the furniture item is de-crafted via Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). The Gold Goldfish itself or the crafted furniture can be sold for 10 GC.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Trivia

  • Its item tooltip emphasizes the absurdity of a gold goldfish, which has a similar structure to a pleonasm.
  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Gold Goldfish: "Rarely, critters are found coated entirely in gold! Shopkeepers will pay handsomely for these, or you can show them off in cages!"
