Sea Butterfly & Football Fish
These tiny gossamer-like fish are real cute, but also really time-sensitive. Once they’re gone at the end of this month, they won’t be back until all the way in December, so definitely lock one down before then. Thankfully, they’re not too hard to track down.
They’re available 24 hours a day, and have teeny-tiny little shadows in the water. Make sure to snag one now though, in order to avoid one of the longest absences in the game.
On the polar opposite of the cute, dainty Sea Butterfly, we have the Football Fish. These ugly anglers also hang out in the ocean in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and have medium-sized silhouettes, similar in size to the all-too-common Sea Bass.
The most notable thing about the Football Fish is their schedule – they only come out during a set time period from 4PM to 9AM the next day. They’re a little more difficult to net as a result, and it’s further complicated by how similar their silhouette is to Sea Bass.
They’re not too uncommon however – just do some fishing trawls after 4PM and you’re sure to find one before too long, avoiding the long wait until their November return.
