Fisch Guide: All Fish in 2nd Anniversary Event & How to Get Them

Fisch turned two on October 3, 2026, and the developers dropped a limited-time event that runs only until October 6. Twelve birthday fish, a giant cake at Moosewood, anniversary pools that vanish after 15 minutes, and a Birthday Candle Rod waiting at the finish line. The window is short, so every session needs a plan. Here is everything you need to complete the 2nd Anniversary bestiary before it closes in Roblox.

How does the Fisch 2nd Anniversary event work?

The whole celebration runs through the Giant Birthday Cake parked beside the Moosewood dock. You catch anniversary fish anywhere on the map or inside special Anniversary Pools, then carry them to the Icing Pool at the base of the cake and toss them in. Each submission pays out Cupcakes bait, and each new species you submit lights a candle and triggers a reward milestone.

Before you cast your first line, redeem the launch code Happy2ndYear. It costs nothing and free resources always help. For more active Fisch codes, check the Fisch codes for free Cash, rod skins, and Bobbers to make sure you are not leaving anything on the table.

All 12 Fisch 2nd Anniversary fish

Every fish in the bestiary requires Cupcakes bait. No other bait works here. The 12 fish split into two clear groups based on where they spawn.

Where and when do Anniversary Pools spawn?

Pools are pink, hard to miss, and appear once every hour at the half-hour mark. Each one spawns near one of four islands: Forsaken Shore, Castaway Cliffs, Snowcap Island, or Roslit Bay. A pool stays active for roughly 15 minutes before disappearing.

Watch global chat for the announcement message telling you which island is hosting the current pool. Load your Cupcakes bait and get moving before that message even finishes. Fifteen minutes sounds generous until you factor in travel time and a slow reel.

One more date to mark: a new variant begins spawning on October 5 at 2:00 PM Eastern, timed to match the original release of Fisch. Content tied to that window may disappear when the event closes, so plan your last session around it.

How to keep your Cupcakes bait supply running

The bait loop is simple but easy to mismanage. You catch fish, toss them into the Icing Pool, and receive Cupcakes bait in return. Global catches feed the loop while you wait for pools to spawn. Pool fish are what you actually need for the harder half of the bestiary.

Duplicates only return bait, no new milestones. That sounds like a waste, but it is actually useful. Submit every new species the moment you catch it to lock in the candle milestone. Then send every repeat into the pool to restock. Running out of bait mid-pool is the most preventable mistake in this event.

What are all the 2nd Anniversary rewards?

Milestones unlock as you submit unique fish to the Icing Pool. Here is the full reward chain:

The Cake Cruiser at 9 fish deserves attention. Most players tunnel-vision on the rod and overlook the boat, but a free limited-event boat almost never comes back once the event closes. If you are sitting at 8 fish with time running out, push for 9 before anything else.

What makes the Birthday Candle Rod worth chasing?

The stats on the Birthday Candle Rod read: Luck 105%, Lure Speed 60%, Control 0, Resilience 35%, Max Weight 500,000 kg. Control at zero is the one drawback. Pair it with a bobber or enchantment that adds control, otherwise the reel minigame gets slippery on heavier catches.

The passive is what makes this rod genuinely interesting. A wick sits on top of the rod and grows with consecutive catches. After five catches in a row, the flame fully ignites and gives you a 26% chance at the Birthday Mutation, which carries an x8 value multiplier. You also gain a 65% progress boost while reeling in any fish that already has the mutation.

Two extra mechanics round it out. You can relight the candle to set your fish on fire, and you can drop cake onto a lured fish for a massive progress spike. Both tricks shine on the largest, most stubborn catches in the pool.

Strategy to finish the bestiary before time runs out

Start with the six global fish. They need no pool, so you can collect them between hourly spawns without wasting any time. Once you have those locked in, your only job is hitting every Anniversary Pool you can.

Between pools, keep fishing and feeding duplicates into the Icing Pool. Bait should never hit zero. Count your milestones regularly so you know exactly how many pool fish you still need and whether skipping one is a viable option.

For players who enjoy hunting limited bestiary fish across different events, the Fisch complete 2nd Anniversary event guide covers the candle lighting and Cake Cruiser mechanics in more depth. And if you want to keep building out your bestiary after this event closes, the full Roblox Fisch strategy guides collection has location breakdowns for every major zone.

The second anniversary event rewards players who stay organized more than players who grind blindly. Learn the pool schedule, keep your bait stocked, and submit every new species the second you catch it. Do that, and the Candle Rod, the Cake Cruiser, and the Birthday Halo are all within reach before the cake gets taken away.
