To catch a tropical fish in a water bucket, you need to have an empty water bucket in your hand and interact with the tropical fish. The specific action varies depending on the platform you are playing on.
Catching a tropical fish with a water bucket allows you to transport and place the fish elsewhere, making it a useful mechanic for decorating builds or setting up aquariums in the game. This process works specifically for tropical fish, not necessarily all types of fish in the game.
How to Catch Tropical Fish by Platform
The method for catching a tropical fish is slightly different depending on whether you are playing on a computer, mobile device, or console.
Here are the steps based on the platform, using a water bucket:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac): Right click on the tropical fish.
- For Pocket Edition (PE): You tap on the tropical fish.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One: Press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
Once the correct action is performed while targeting the tropical fish with a water bucket, the tropical fish will be captured, and your water bucket will transform into a Bucket of Tropical Fish.
