Net A Fish Trading Requirements and Fish Comparisons

1. Select Hub to travel to the Hub.
2. Approach the Trading stall and open its interface.
3. Check that both you and your intended partner meet the requirements below.

Both players need at least Rebirth 5, and the absolute difference between their Rebirth counts must be 3 or less. Reaching the unlock does not make every player an eligible partner.

If you are at Rebirth 5, your eligible partners are at Rebirth 5, 6, 7, or 8. A Rebirth 4 player has not unlocked Trading, even though they are only one Rebirth away from you. A Rebirth 9 player has unlocked it, but is four Rebirths away and falls outside your range.

If Trading is locked because you are below Rebirth 5, follow the Rebirth requirements and unlocks guide to progress toward the unlock.

Choose your goal before judging an offer:

• Collection: Prioritize a species or mutation you want to own. A fish can be worth keeping for your collection even when it does not improve your income. Use the Fish Index to look up species, rarities, and variants.
• Income: Prioritize the change to your showcase lineup. Consider both the income you would lose by giving up a displayed fish and what the incoming fish could add.

Open Cooler from the left-side button, or press E at your Fish Cooler. Switch the sorting option to $/s to compare earnings, then open individual details where available.

A normal fish can earn more than a mutated individual of the same species. For an income trade, favor the individual that improves your setup after accounting for what you surrender. If the incoming fish replaces an occupied showcase slot, account for the displaced fish’s income too.

Keep the meaning of each reading clear: a fish’s $/s is its income rate, while a card labeled “+…/s if placed” describes a placement gain. The base’s total income and cash waiting on a Collect pad are different readings. See the showcase income guide for income bonuses and display management, or the Cooler guide for inventory controls.

These four Demigod Stormshell Archelon individuals had different size, weight, and income readings within the same post-Rebirth configuration:

For income within this setup, the 1.05-size individual is the strongest of the four. Even the two fish displaying size 1.03 have different weights and earnings, so the displayed size alone is not enough to choose between them. Read the individual income as well.

These are individual values in one configuration, not fixed earnings for every Stormshell Archelon. Use them to understand why checking the exact fish matters. Showcase income measures cash production; it is not a trade price, trading currency, or fixed fish-for-fish exchange rate.
