Net A Fish Fish Cooler Guide: Equip Best, Selling and Auto-Sell

Click Cooler on the left side of the screen, or approach Your Fish Cooler at your dock and press E when Open Cooler appears.

For the controls within those inventories, see skins, potions, or pets.

Click Sort to cycle through Rarity, $/s, Odds, Count, and Name. Use $/s when comparing income, Count when looking for duplicate stacks, or Name when finding a particular fish.

Fish cards can display rarity, mutation, quantity, income or placement gain, and fusion progress. NET, FISHER, and SPEAR labels identify catch sources. Rarity groups show kinds and total fish separately, so several copies can belong to one listed kind.

A card labeled best $…/s gives the income of the best individual in that stack—not the income of every copy or a fixed value for the species. For species and rarity lookups, use the Fish Index.

Some cards also have a Shuck +number button alongside their other actions. Look for it on the fish card; its displayed number varies between cards and inventory setups.

To carry a stored fish, find its card and click Take, then select its hotbar slot to hold it. To return carried fish, reopen the Cooler and click Store All. The button count and storage notification tell you how many fish are being returned together.

Update your showcase lineup

1. Open the Cooler and click Store All to return any carried fish you want included.
2. Click EQUIP BEST at the bottom of the window.
3. Read the configuration message and income change. The button can briefly show EQUIPPED! after applying the lineup.

Equip Best applies the best available showcase configuration and can return replaced fish to the Cooler. Storing carried fish first gives those fish a chance to improve the selection.

For example, one setup rose from $215,039/s to $224,451/s after Equip Best. Returning four carried fish with Store All and applying Equip Best again raised that same setup to $235,093/s. The additional improvement came after returning fish to inventory; repeatedly clicking the button is not an income boost.

“Your showcase already has your best fish” means there is no better available configuration to apply. This can also appear after Store All if the returned fish do not improve your lineup.

For manual placement and collecting the resulting income, see the showcase money guide.

Update your showcases with Equip Best before clearing surplus fish, and leave any duplicates you intend to fuse out of the sale.

Sell an individual fish

Find its card, click Sell, review the displayed price, then click Confirm. The confirmed sale removes the fish and pays the listed cash amount.

Sell a batch

1. Click Sell Fish at the bottom of the Cooler.
2. Select rarity buttons or tick individual entries. You can combine rarity selections and then adjust the list manually. Available groups can include Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic when those fish are present.
3. Use Include mutated if you want mutation variants included in the selection.
4. Review the selected fish count, kind count, and total price. Use Clear selection to start over, or Done to return to the inventory.
5. Click SELL, then TAP TO CONFIRM to complete the sale.

Rarity shortcuts exclude your best showcase fish. A star marks the highest showcase earners, while locked fish cannot be sold. The best-fish exclusion belongs to the rarity shortcuts, so review any entries you add manually.

How sale prices work

The Sell Fish menu uses 30 seconds of that fish’s showcase income as its pricing basis:

Sale value = that fish’s showcase income per second × 30 seconds.

Use the actual confirmation amount for the transaction. A rounded income label can lose precision, and a stack’s best value does not apply to every fish in the stack.

The Fishmonger Market upgrade unlocks at Stargazer, Rebirth 11, and adds 10% fish sale value per level, up to 10 levels. See Market upgrades for its upgrade details and spending choices.

Auto-Sell converts eligible fish into cash when you catch them. Its rarity setting is an inclusive ceiling: the range starts at Common and ends at the selected rarity.

1. Open Cooler → Auto-Sell.
2. Use the left and right arrows to choose the highest rarity to sell. Select NOTHING to disable automatic selling and send all catches to the Cooler.
3. Turn KEEP MUTATED FISH on if you want to retain mutation variants within the sale range.
4. Click Done to return.

The sale ranges follow these retention rules:

• New species always enter the Cooler.
• Fish at your current net’s highest catchable rarity always enter the Cooler.
• With KEEP MUTATED FISH on, Shiny, Gold, Crystal, Glitched, Rainbow, and other mutation variants enter the Cooler even within the selected sale range.
• With that toggle off, mutation variants lose that toggle’s protection, but the new-species and highest-catchable-rarity exceptions still apply.

Automatically sold fish still count as catches. The ADVANCED button is below the main settings.

Choose settings for the fish you need

• Keeping every catch: select NOTHING.
• Keeping mutated fish while selling ordinary surplus: enable KEEP MUTATED FISH and choose a ceiling covering the ordinary rarities you want sold.
• Gathering ordinary duplicates for fusion: lower the ceiling below the rarity you need, or select NOTHING. KEEP MUTATED FISH does not protect ordinary duplicates within the sale range.

For example, if you need ordinary Rare duplicates, a Rare ceiling includes those fish in automatic selling unless an always-retained exception applies. Lower the ceiling below Rare to keep them consistently. Use the fusion recipes and Fuse All guide to plan which stacks to save.
