Goldfish

Goldfish are Critters that swim in water, and walk on land during Rain. They can be caught with the Bug Net and used to craft several items. They can be spawned from the Fish Statue.

During a Blood Moon, or when hit with Vile Powder or Vicious Powder, Goldfish turn into Corrupt Goldfish or Crimtane Goldfish, which have much more health and do attack players. These can be very dangerous for players with low-tier armor and weapons.

Tips

 * Consider crafting into Fish Bowls for profit. Also consider using a Bug Net to catch Goldfish, as 100 Goldfish can be sold for 7 Gold, 50 Silver.

Trivia

 * While not directly utilizing the trademarked phrase, the Goldfish's tooltip is a reference to the snack food Goldfish ("the snack that smiles back").
 * Goldfish could previously be killed and then used as a weak recovery potion (restoring 20 health), which the tooltip is a remnant of.
 * Goldfish have black eyes, but when killed have red eyes.
 * The way Goldfish walk on land during rain may be a reference to how fish walk on land in several Dr. Seuss books.
 * Although the ability to catch critters has been disabled, walking Goldfish spawned from the Fish Statue can be caught. (Unintentional bug)
