About

Tropical Fish are consumable items dropped by tropical fish mobs in warm ocean biomes. Players can catch them with a fishing rod or kill the fish directly to obtain the raw item.

Admins use tropical fish to stock inventories, set up breeding farms for axolotls, or create suspicious stew through crafting. The item stacks up to 64 and can be given via the standard /give command with minecraft:tropical_fish as the item ID. When eaten, it restores hunger and provides a small amount of saturation, making it a viable early-game food source.
