Goldfish


 * This article is about the non-enemy character. For the Goldfish item, see Goldfish (item). For the enemy, see Corrupt Goldfish.

The Goldfish is a benign background character that could not harm player. Goldfish has only 5 health, and can also be damaged by other mobs. Dead goldfish drop item with the same name.

During a Blood Moon, or when hit with Vile Powder, Goldfish will turn into Corrupt Goldfish, which have much more health and is aggressive. These however do not drop the Goldfish item that can be picked up by players.

Tips

 * An efficient method of farming Goldfish is to find a water body where they spawn, and corrupt one of them with Vile Powder. Further spawned Goldfish will be killed by the corrupt one, leaving behind the Goldfish item for the player to pick up. The Corrupt Goldfish will likely despawn when off-screen for too long, and new Goldfish will not spawn while the entire water body is on-screen; keeping an area of the water off-screen may allow new fish to spawn while keeping the Corrupt one around.
