Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary is the limited catch collection for the live birthday event, built around Anniversary Pools, Cupcake bait and special anniversary species. The collection is only available during the short October celebration, so filling missing entries is more urgent than normal permanent Bestiary grinding.
The biggest challenge with the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary is that live community data is still being mapped. Current guides agree on the pool cycle, four main pool areas and the importance of Cupcakes, while some catch conditions are still being updated. This guide separates the confirmed live names from details that are not reliable yet.
Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary: confirmed live catches
Current live guides for the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary consistently list Birthday Candle, Birthday Card, Birthday Colossal Squid, Birthday Cupcake, Birthday Floppy, Birthday Isonade, Birthday Pinata, Birthday Present and Birthday Rubber Ducky among the limited catches. Birthday Leviathan is also tied to Anniversary Pools.
| Confirmed catch | Current method |
|---|---|
| Birthday Candle | Anniversary event fishing, Cupcakes commonly listed |
| Birthday Card | Anniversary event fishing, Cupcakes commonly listed |
| Birthday Colossal Squid | Anniversary Pools, Cupcakes commonly listed |
| Birthday Cupcake | Anniversary event fishing, Cupcakes commonly listed |
| Birthday Floppy | Anniversary Pools, Cupcakes commonly listed |
| Birthday Isonade | Anniversary event fishing, Cupcakes commonly listed |
| Birthday Pinata | Anniversary event fishing, Cupcakes commonly listed |
| Birthday Present | Anniversary event fishing, Cupcakes commonly listed |
| Birthday Rubber Ducky | Anniversary event fishing, Cupcakes commonly listed |
| Birthday Leviathan | Anniversary Pools |
The event is fresh enough that some current tables are incomplete or being corrected. Use the in-game Bestiary as the final checklist for any remaining blank slots rather than trusting an old anniversary list from 2025.
Where Anniversary Pools spawn
Most Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary progression comes from pink Anniversary Pools. Current live testing places the pools around Castaway Cliffs, Forsaken Shores, Roslit Bay and Snowcap Island.
A global chat message announces when a pool appears and names the nearby island. Live guides report that natural pools appear roughly every hour and stay active for around 15 minutes, so move quickly after the announcement.
How to get Cupcake bait
Cupcake bait is one of the core resources for the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary. Bring an anniversary catch to the Birthday Cake near Moosewood and throw it into the icing pool to receive event progression rewards that can include Cupcakes.
Many currently documented Bestiary entries prefer Cupcakes. This makes the Birthday Cake more than a reward station because it supplies the bait that helps you continue filling the limited collection.
Do all anniversary fish come from pools?
No. The Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary mixes pool catches with anniversary fish that can appear outside the temporary pool. Current live guides specifically warn players not to wait for pools for every single missing species.
Fish normally between pool windows, then immediately travel to the announced island when a pink Anniversary Pool appears. That avoids spending most of each hour doing nothing.
Birthday Leviathan
Birthday Leviathan is one of the standout catches connected to the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary. Current live guides place it inside Anniversary Pools, making the timed pool cycle important if this is one of your missing entries.
Do not leave Leviathan attempts until the final day. Push to candle 5 on the Birthday Cake progression for the Anniversary Totem, which gives you another way to create a pool instead of relying only on natural spawns.
How unique catches help the Birthday Cake
Completing the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary also advances the Birthday Cake reward chain. Each unique anniversary species you submit lights another candle, while duplicate species do not create another unique candle.
If a species is new, take it to the icing pool before selling it. The same catch can advance Bestiary completion and move you closer to the Birthday Candle Rod.
What if your Bestiary still has missing entries?
If the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary still shows blank entries after you have worked through the currently named fish, keep checking the live Bestiary panel and anniversary pool announcements. Several current guides explicitly say their catch lists are still being updated.
Use Cupcakes for event catches, fish ordinary water between pool spawns and prioritise the four known pool regions. Avoid inventing a weather, season or time requirement that the live data does not support.
How to finish the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary efficiently
For efficient Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary completion, turn in every new species, save Cupcake bait for event fishing, use the hourly pool announcements, and unlock the Anniversary Totem as early as possible. The Totem becomes a useful backup when natural timing works against you.
The key is avoiding duplicate effort. The Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary is limited, the same unique catches drive Birthday Cake progression, and the final candle reward is the Birthday Candle Rod, so Bestiary and reward grinding should be treated as one connected loop.
