Rainbow Parrotfish - Petit Planet Creature

How to catch Rainbow Parrotfish

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

Where and when to find it

Habitat: Coastal Waters. Distribution: Islets — this is an islet specialty, so plan it into a Starsea Voyage rather than a planet sweep..

Season: Year-Round. Time: Daytime. Weather: Any Weather. If two of those tags are restrictive, check the creature tracker before you set out.

Omnipedia

The rainbow parrotfish is large in size but has a gentle and non-aggressive temperament.

It evolved to have brilliant colors to help it better hide among coral reefs.

However, it accumulates ciguatoxins by consuming poisonous algae. Those who excessively "bully" this mild-mannered fish might find themselves on the receiving end of its revenge.
