Fish Statue

The Fish Statue is a statue of a Goldfish. Like all other statues, it can be found randomly in caverns and may be harvested with any type of pickaxe/drill. It will spawn Goldfish when activated using Wire. Similar to the Bunny Statue, when a Blood Moon is in effect, this statue spawns Corrupt Goldfish which are not limited to three spawned at a time.

In versions prior to 1.2, Corrupt Goldfish dropped coins when killed. This could be abused to gain large amounts of coins during a Blood Moon (on the order of hundreds of gold coins per night with only a few statues). However, this is no longer possible as Corrupt Goldfish now drop nothing when killed.

Since ordinary Goldfish are worth one silver coin each, if three of these statues are rigged to a crab-based timer, it is possible to get around 350 goldfish per minute, which sell for about three and a half gold coins.
