The Angelfish is pretty common, though, so you will likely catch a few of these if you spend a bit of time fishing. Look out for a small shadow, and you may want to bring some bait with you if you want to specifically catch this one for your Critterpedia.

Farming this fish can be pretty profitable because the Angelfish sells for 3,000 Bells. It’s not the most valuable fish like the Coelacanth and the Golden Trout, but it’s not bad considering how common it is to catch.
