Disney Dreamlight Valley offers a diverse range of creatures and critters for players to collect, whether as cherished pets or as ingredients for delectable meals. Fish, in particular, hold significant value in the game. Apart from being used in recipes that provide a substantial energy boost, they can also be sold for a generous amount of Star Coins.
When embarking on a fishing expedition in Disney Dreamlight Valley, players should pay attention to the color bubbles surrounding each fish. These bubbles serve as indicators that a fish is present and waiting to be caught. By understanding the significance of each color, players can ascertain the type of fish they might find in that particular spot. This guide will provide a comprehensive explanation of the meaning behind each color.
What Each Bubble Color Means
The bubbles that form on the surface of the water, known as ripples, can be found in various bodies of water such as ponds, rivers, and the ocean. These ripples come in different colors, indicating the presence of different types of fish waiting to be caught. The color of the ripples also varies depending on the biome, providing clues about the type of fish that players can expect to catch when using their fishing rod in that particular location.
The ripples, referred to as bubbles, appear in three main colors: white, blue, and gold, with each color becoming increasingly rare. During special occasions, such as the holiday season, players may also come across green and red ripples, which indicate the presence of holiday fish. However, catching the rarer colors of ripples requires players to engage in a timed mechanic, with white ripples lasting for approximately two units of time and gold ripples lasting for around four units of time.
Below is a list that breaks down all the different ripple colors in the different biomes and what they mean.
