Koi Heartopia — Location, Sell Price & Catch Guide

Koi Stats Table

Koi Sell Price by Star Rating

At 155G base and a catch, Koi is a steady income fish rather than a jackpot. A 5★ catch is worth 1240G, so keep the best specimens for a starred sale instead of dumping them into the first sell point you pass.

How to Catch Koi

1. Reach fishing level 1. Below that, Koi will not appear no matter how long you cast.
2. Travel to Suburban Lake and watch for a unknown shadow — Unknown.
3. Fish during any time of day. Any hour works, so this is a flexible filler catch.
4. Weather does not gate this catch — it bites in any condition.
5. Expect None/10 difficulty — .
6. Event or season condition: Seasonal New Year.

You need fishing level 1 before Koi starts appearing, so this is an early-game catch you can farm while unlocking later zones. The shadow reads as unknown on the water, which is the fastest way to tell it apart from the other fish sharing the same spot.

It is the #4 highest-value fish recorded at this spot (10 species total), so treat it as filler between rarer targets.
