Stardew Valley Fish Ponds – Top 25 Fish

I’ll be presenting my picks for the top 25 fish to put in ponds on your Stardew Valley Farm. This will be subjective, but my rankings will be based on gold output, pond aesthetics, fish cuteness and any other arbitrary reasons that come to mind ๐Ÿ™‚

  1. I am a big fan of the fish ponds. I tend to always do Sturgeon for obvious reasons, but Blobfish, Lava Eel, Octopus, and Stingray are ones I almost always also do.

  2. Recently stumbled onto your channel and its been super helpful! I love the way you present information
    15:39 I also want to add that the super cucumber can be found in the nightmarket submarine as well. Which is to say, I didn't know they could be caught in the normal ocean too til just now lmao.

  3. Great video on the output of the pond directly, however I think a big addition is going to be pairing ponds with the bait maker. By keeping a pond of each of the top selling fish reproducing you can have an unlimited number of targeted bait. This means that whenever you go out fishing you will be bringing in the targeted fish way more often, and then during the off-season you can build up your supply. Super cuc and stingray come to mind for sure, but one pond set aside for catfish can turn a rainy day into a huge pay-day which moves the catfish pond up the list for me.

  4. Normal amount or fish ponds? I have 47 of them. The grind of that was intense (seaweed and green algae) But making between 30 – 60 aged lava eel roe every day is magical

  5. Did you get into account that we can smoke the fish we harvest? Because I'm raking the money with blobfish!

    About the octopus, I just buy it when I see in the travelling cart hehe.

  6. With Trap Bobber the Lava Eeel is a lot easier to catch. And the best is, its the only fish exists on Floor 100, so every other item you will get wont reduce the durability of the Trap Bobber, means you can use 1 Trap Bobber for 20 lava eel.
    And you can craft a Deluxe Worm Bin to get infinite Deluxe Baits to have a even higher output. I got like 10 lava eels on one day. lol

  7. I'm on my first run through the game, and I haven't installed any fish ponds yet. I'm seriously considering basic eels, not for the money but for the ingredients.
