The core loop: fish, steal, bank, upgrade
Step
Everything in Fish and Steal revolves around three actions. You catch fish with your rod and bait, take them to the bank to convert them into money, then spend that money on upgrades. Raiding other players fits into this loop as a shortcut — instead of catching fish yourself, you knock out another player and take everything they were carrying.
- Catch fish target what the current time of day offers, since the fish available change between day and night.
- Raid a player knock out another player to take all the fish they are holding.
- Go to the bank deposit your fish to turn them into money.
- Unlock upgrades spend your bank money on new rods, crafted baits, or aquarium improvements.

Day and night fishing
Tips
The game cycles through day and night on its own — you do not switch it manually. Each period brings out a different set of fish. Time-limited rare fish also appear on a schedule, so you need to be playing at the right moment with the right gear to hook them.
- Day and night rotate automatically, changing which fish are available without any input from you.
- Fish both periods to collect a wider variety.
- Time-limited rare fish have specific appearance windows.
- Bring the right rod and bait for the rare you are chasing, since not every setup can catch every fish.
Rods, bait, and aquarium upgrades
Summary
Unlocking new rods and crafting stronger baits lets you reach fish that your starting gear cannot hook. Aquarium upgrades increase how many fish you can carry at once. A bigger aquarium also lets you house larger fish.
- Rods unlock new ones with bank money to access stronger and rarer fish.
- Bait craft more powerful bait to improve your chances on specific catches.
- Aquarium capacity upgrade it to carry more fish per run before needing to deposit.
- Large fish a higher-capacity aquarium lets you hold bigger fish that smaller tanks cannot store.
- Upgrade order you choose the sequence yourself.
Playing with friends
Tips

- Solo play works fine on its own — you can fish, raid, and upgrade entirely by yourself.
- Team play adds contracts and social rewards.
- Up to eight players can share a server.

Common questions
FAQWhat happens when my aquarium runs out of space?
Once your aquarium is full, you cannot pick up any more fish. Head to the bank to deposit what you have and free up room before continuing to fish.
How do I catch time-limited rare fish?
Rare fish appear only during specific windows in the day-night cycle. You need to be playing at the right time and have a rod and bait that can actually hook them.
Do I have to play with others, or can I go solo?
Solo play is fully supported. You can fish, raid other players, bank your catch, and upgrade your aquarium entirely on your own.
How do I switch between day and night?
You do not — the cycle runs automatically. Just keep playing and the time of day will shift on its own, changing which fish are available.
