Silver Pomfret - Petit Planet Creature

At a glance

How to catch Silver Pomfret

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. Common freshwater fish and gray saltwater fish can usually be caught straight away after the bite.

Silver pomfrets primarily prey on jellyfish, and during initial attempts at artificially breeding the species, feeding became the main challenge.

Later, researchers developed a method where jellyfish were first fed with feed, and then the pomfret would eat the jellyfish. This allowed the silver pomfret to get accustomed to the taste of the feed, eventually solving the problem.

It seems that the "Trojan horse" tactic can be quite useful beyond just siege warfare.
