Mi experiencia con este logro y mis consejitos:

¿Eres nuevo en los logros de pesca? Pues ármate de paciencia, porque estos logros llevan muchos intentos y muchas horas. Son logros que hay que hacer cuando no te apetece hacer nada más y son logros que también pueden quemarte mucho. Yo me lo he sacado en unos 6 intentos (me he sacado partes en cada intento).
¿Ya eres veterano en los logros de pesca? Pues bienvenido a la jungla de nuevo. Ármate de paciencia y recuerda que es mejor no sacárselo en un intento.

Han sido ultra mega útiles las guías (yo miré WoWChakra por estar en español y también miré comentarios sueltos).
Por si no habéis leído las guías, os hago un resumen: básicamente el logro consiste en ponerse las gafas, lo que te permite ver burbujas, clickar en esas burbujas y rezar porque te salga un pez secreto. Digamos que hay dos grupos de peces (inespecíficos y específicos). Los inespecíficos te pueden salir en cualquier burbuja y los específicos necesitan ciertas condiciones para que te salgan en una burbuja (estar en cierto lugar, a cierta hora, estar muerto, etc).
Sobre los específicos: seguid las guías a rajatabla e id al sitio que os marcan (o morid o haced lo que sea que os piden), porque os saldrán. Solo os doy mi experiencia con dos de estos: el de Nieverest creo que lo han fixeado a saco y ahora te sale sí o sí en el pico más alto (hay gente que decía de usar ahí las gafas y no ir con ellas puestas y yo hice eso: lluegé arriba, usé las gafas, me salían varias burbujas, cogí una, me saltó el pez y desaparecieron todas) y para el de Hyjal bucead hacia abajo todo lo que podáis (yo estuve como 30 mins en la orilla y no salió, pero se me ocurrió bucear hacia abajo y vi varias burbujas, un poco como el de antes).
Sobre los inespecíficos: Hay gente diciendo que le salen ciertos peces en ciertos sitios, pero esto es mega random y no le haría caso. A mí todos estos peces inespecíficos me han salido farmeando los otros o en la islita de Nagrand. Super útil la isla de Nagrand (te pones al borde, echas para atrás todo lo que puedas la cámara y cada X segundos te sale una burbuja).
Para farmearlos, yo recomendaría ponerse algo de fondo. Yo me ponía vídeos de La Resistencia, capítulos de Padre de Familia, pelis que ya me sabía, etc (cosas que podía oír pero no ver y me entretenían). Si tienes dos pantallas supongo que es mucho mejor xD
Y ten mucha, mucha paciencia. En serio, esto es lo más importante.

Mi último pez ha sido el "Imitador oculto".

¡Buena pesca!

This is part 2 of the secret fish achievement series.
To start this you'll need to complete part 1.

The goggles:
With the Gafas de peces secretos buff applied a small fish in a bubble will spawn somewhere within 40 yards of you. If you have sound on you'll hear bubbles when it spawns then 5-10 seconds later the fish will become visible at which point you'll be able to click it. The fish can be clicked while mounted, you do not need to be in water for it to spawn and it will spawn every 25-30 seconds.

Best way to do this is find a spot that is flat and with few surrounding objects (trees, rocks, etc) and just spin your camera around until you see the bubble.

The Fish!
Each time you click the puffer you'll be given a random fish, most of the time it will be the white "junk" fish for whichever area you're in as well as the occasional grey item, with the exception of Dalaran where you'll commonly get coins usually caught from the eventide fountains.

Catchrate is quite low for many of these so expect to spend a fair amount of time for this.

I've split the fish into different catergories.

The common:
These fish can be caught anywhere at any time of the day, save these lot for last as you'll probably get most if not all of them hunting the others.
1. Pez cebra camuflado
2. Faucengañosa
3. Siluro discreto
4. Imitador oculto
5. Ballenita pequeñita
6. Aletasal coleccionable
7. Gobio viajero
8. Eperlano invisible
If you're still missing these after you catch the others, the best places to catch these are on the floating islands, like the ones scattered around Outland Nagrand (45.9, 59.9). Stand on the edge of the island and the fish will spawn in an arc around your character, shown here in green (Dalaran island used for an example): https://i.imgur.com/vrIYGgB.jpg

The zone exclusive:
These fish can only be caught in specific zones and sometimes even in very specific areas within zones.
9. Bacalao de sangre podrido - Nazmir, Zul'Nazman.
10. Pez de cuentos de jade - Jade Forest.
11. Solla atronadora - Isle of Thunder.
12. Payaso del Kirin Tor - Dalaran (Broken Isles/Northrend).
13. Caballa mecanizada - Mechagon.
14. Delicia de la reina - Nazjatar.
15. Aletamaná antiguo - Suramar. Anywhere in the Suramar city harbour. (Credit to Roguezs).
16. Pez prisionero - Tol Barad (PvP area). Anywhere in the zone, the bridge that connects the two islands is a great place for this one, just make sure you're on the PvP area side of it (check minimap).
17. Aletafiordo punzante - Howling Fjord.
18. Huesovil muerto - Argus, Krokuun and Antoran Wastes. (Credit to Padwarle and Neryssa).
19. Morador de tanques tortolianos - Drustvar, under Anyport in the underwater Tortollan bar called 'The Drunk Tank'.
20. Solla escuálida - Neverest Pinnacle, Kun-Lai Summit. (Credit to Qaccy and Pungyo).
21. Rondador del pozo - Mount Hyjal, in the lake under Nordassil.
22. Pez de colores ahogado - Drowned Lands (46, 50) in Stormsong Valley. (Credit to Bobins666).
Note: With the exception of the Tank Deweller (Fish 19), these are confirmed locations and may not be the only location within the zones where they can be caught. For the Tortollan Tank Deweller, I was only able to catch it once I was in the very specific sub-zone (where the name changes above the minimap).

For those suffering from woeful luck with the rarer fish, like the Solla escuálida, this was discovered by Asmundr.

To everyone who is having trouble looting some fish. You need to approach the places like Neverest and Nordrassil on foot without a flying mount (There is a small path just before the Neverest peak) Then the 100% dropchance Fishes don't bug out and are lootable once more (Thin Air Flounder and Well Lurker) Alternatively just use the goggles when standing at those places when they are off CD.

If you're still having issues, clearing your bags of all secret fish (vendor or delete them) may also fix it.

The time scheduled:
These fish can only be caught within certain times, while one is active, the other is not. Whichever fish is active at the time can be caught in any zone.
23. Pez lunar esquivo - Night only. 9:30pm to 8am.
24. Absorbesol dorado - Day only. 8am to 9:30pm.
Note: We're not sure on the specific day/night switch over time, the above is just based on the times we've been catching them. If you catch these outside of the posted times let me know. Make sure its server time, not your local time.

The dead:
These fish can only be caught while the player is dead. Once you're a ghost these fish can be caught in any zone. (Credit to FenixInfinito).
25. Fantasma velado
26. Memo mortojo
27. Flotador silencioso
28. Salmón espiritual
Best place to catch these on any floating island, like the one directly behind the southern bank of Broken Isles Dalaran. Suicide by flying up and dismounting. This zone has ghost flying and if you stand on the edge of the island the fish will spawn in an arc around your character, shown here in green: https://i.imgur.com/vrIYGgB.jpg

The buffed:
29. Verde áspero - Requires the Pintado de verde buff from the Mechagon mechanocat painting station (63, 42). This can be applied by walking over the green puddle on the station or having another player throw a Vejiga llena de pintura verde at you. (Credit to Sishrot).

The sporadic:
30. Chatarraleta desplazado - Can be caught in the "future" version of Mechagon that Cromi sends you to for the quest El otro lugar. Unfortunately this daily is only available sporadically. (Credit to Lacrit).

That's all folks!
Thanks to everyone who helped with the hunt :)

Comentario de edvan

I think the Drowned Goldfish can be caught when dead in Dalaran, got to the underground area for a pvp death but I was alone there. Can someone, with a better luck them me, try this?

Comentario de Antilog

Possible locations for the missing fish. Thin Air Flounder somewhere at the vortex pinnacle or throne of the four winds? Displaced Scrapfin maybe at the old dalaran crater? Well Lurker could possibly be in the underbelly?

Comentario de TheAfro

Anyone know those fishes are useful or useless?
Can I just sell them or should I keep them?

Comentario de sishrot

A friend looted Verde áspero when we were farming the Rotted Blood Cod He had it after I throwed on him the Pintado de verde (painted green) so maybe it's the buff needed to get it ?

Comentario de Feliciamarie

Just to clarify.. you don't actually fish for these. I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to fish these guys out lol

Comentario de Katreyn

It's worth noting that the advice in the OP is sound. Stand still and spin around or pan around to find the bubbles. I've stood still and witness a few bubbles spawn and despawn. On average it seems they despawn around the 30s mark.

Comentario de DreadNyght

I'm thinking there's a good chance that we can get the Displaced Scrapfin in Mechagon once Chromie visits as a daily there. She ports us to a future Mechagon, and the reward for completing her daily is a blueprint for a "Personal Time Displacer"

Comentario de HighOrder

Something cool some people may not have discovered, I've been wondering this whole time, I just looted a daily quest turn in fish from the secret fish bubble for Nat Pagle.

Comentario de Asmundr

Some of these farm spots are buggy. They have permanent Secret Fish spawns that you cannot loot and that occupy a slot, making farming unbearably slow at times.

So far I experienced this at Nordrassil Lake and Neverest Pinnacle

Edit: Found a solution for the bugged fish, it is definetly the flying. Approach Neverest pinnacle on the small strip on foot, and you can loot the previously bugged spots. Those bugged spots are fixed loot with 100% dropchance for the fish.

Comentario de Kyphitz

What is considered the swamp area for the Prisoner Fish? Do I need warmode enabled?

Comentario de paexMonk

for "common" fish etc i tried nagrand (bc) - same as dalaran (legion) floating island, but much better view/handling
maybe there are others. didn't try every floating island

optional hint:
in system settings - graphics - set details (bottom left) to minimum

you will only see the fish!

Comentario de up626

they can spawn on land, i think important information to have/know

Comentario de Chevron

Found the scrapfish in the 'Future Mechagon' from Chromie's daily quest. "The Other Place"

Comentario de Lacrit

Just found the Chatarraleta desplazado during the Chromie daily quest The Other Place in Mechagon, while under the Time Displacement buff. Found the fish near Junkwatt Depot

Comentario de wiseowls

I just found Displaced scrapfin in mechagon while on daily The other place (that send you to alt mechagon and time dispacement buff)

Comentario de Joeni

I just received the achievement, thanks for all the tips people have provided!

Comentario de Rikopelo

Atm, 3h farming the same spot. Only 4 commons fishes remaining, in the dalaran floating isle. I got 0 luck ¿Any better spot to caugh common fishes or just be patiente and lucky? i only caugh Kirin Tor Clown - Elusive Moonfish -Golden Sunsoaker i didnt see a common fish in hours. ¿Some tips?

Comentario de rapturus

If you are stuck on the "Commons" and the "Time of day" fishes. (like me)
I would recommend going to The Jade Forest, as I seem to get 2 rare fishes every time I get 1. ( I could just be extremely lucky. )
But 5 / 5 so far when I get rare, both are.

Comentario de Terranfirma

I've now been trying for this Prisoner Fish for almost 4 hours.

Any help in exactly where to be looking would be amazingly helpful.

Comentario de Diosde

I had a lot of luck with the dead fish in Mechagon at 47, 38. Happy hunting!

Kirin Tor Clown - I had no luck after about 50 bubbles while mounted, dismounted and got it in 5 tries!

Comentario de Rikopelo

Got the achievement RIGHT NOW! i found ALL the "commons" remaining in -> Outland (Terrallende in spanish), Nagrand floating isle 45,43 60.2 best place for me and other friends!

Comentario de Kayllys

For #10 Pez de cuentos de jade this might be coincidence but trying to get it in the general Jade Forest area didn't seem to drop it but as soon as I went to the Scrollkeeper's Sanctum in uninstanced Jade Temple I got it on the first try.

Comentario de Ackwah

I think the fish that are tied to the time work off American server times, because at 5pm aest I caught the Moon one on Khaz'Goroth

Comentario de Marawynn

I was having trouble with the following: Siluro discreto, Aletasal coleccionable, Imitador oculto, Ballenita pequeñita, and Absorbesol dorado. After spending over 2 hours in Dalaran without success, I tried to think of places relevant to the missing fish. The very tiny whale name reminded me of the tiny little whale town icons on the Borean Tundra map. I went to one of those whale icons, Kaskala, Borean Tundra (63.87, 47.80), at 6:57am server time, and at 7:04am I got the Siluro discreto, then immediately got the Aletasal coleccionable. At 7:09am got the Absorbesol dorado, 7:13am the Imitador oculto, and at 7:19am the Ballenita pequeñita. This finished up the achievement for me. Maybe I just got lucky with my last stubborn five all being in Kaskala, but thought I'd pass on the info.

Also, I can confirm that I found the Drowned Goldfish in Drowned Lands (46.6, 53.6), Stormsong Valley (Near Deadwash flight path).

Many thanks to all those who contributed info and locations!

Comentario de bamthrilla

As of June 29th, 2019 (around 9pm EST) it looks like you can no longer vendor these fish.

Comentario de fusselchen

If you stand at water, you can see the fish swimming away from you, for easier spoting.
But don't follow him before spawning, the fish apears when its far enough.

So the best spot is flat water (at least for me)

Comentario de up626

Are you unable to sell these rare fish now? whats the purpose of having a stockpile of them?

Comentario de sukimo1976

While doing this achiev, fishing for the ones on a floating island in Nagrand, you catch BFA fish. I want to point out that i managed to catch the Great Sea Ray in one of my tiny secret fish bubbles which gave me the achiev Catching Some Rays...NICE!

Comentario de Zetsuu

While doing island expeditions with my friends, I noticed my friends who have not completed the achievement were able to see *and* loot the fish. One of them got the Very Tiny While while in an island expedition and not wearing the Secret Fish Goggles. I'm not sure if this bugged or intentional but make of it what you will.

Comentario de Selinai

i just started farming today and none of the fish have sell prices at all :( had to manually delete all my fish, kinda sucked.

Comentario de Irwin0812

Displaced Scrafin can be found too with Personal Time Displacer, you can get midnight salmon too when searching the secret fish and another great place is the Astral Court, put your toon in the middle bush right to the Astral Boss. Set your graphics to low and distant view to max can help a lot.

Comentario de Atclight

I just looted the Prisoner fish and the Traveling Goby from the same node, twice in a row at the Tol Barad swamp

Comentario de Getwasted

So I noticed that they nerfed part 2, you can't sell the fish for gold as you used to be able to do 2 days ago. Do you guys think the fish will be useful for anything? Or should I just delete them? I have no bag space.

Comentario de Ribbl3r

Group members can see AND loot these fish without having done Peces secretos de Mecandria!

Comentario de MoreDragons

Been at the Proving Grounds for 2 hours now, needing all Common fish.
I prefer Proving Grounds to New Dal floating rock because there's no KirinTor fish, the trash sells for a little more and I'm fine with getting coins some other time.
My haul includes:
5 Inconspicuous Catfish
5 Traveling Goby
3 Camouflaged Snark
2 Deceptive Maw
2 Unseen Mimie.
1 Invisible Smelt
1 Elusive Moonfish
1 Tiny Whale

happy hunting peeps!

Comentario de Harlent

Just thought I'd add if anyone is interested - you can catch two rare fish in one. Just caught both the Jade Story Fish and Invisible Smelt at the same time in Paw-don Village, Jade Forest.

Comentario de Wyrade

As written on the wowhead page of Solla escuálida, for the neverest peak bubbles to be lootable you need to delete (edit: now saleable, so sell) the rare fish in your inventory and they become instantly lootable.
Has (probably) no connection to whether you have / use a flying mount / are flying.

Comentario de hydroth

I was not having luck on the island outside of Dalaran for the ones that can be caught anywhere. I found a good spot in the Jade Forest around 39.7, 40.0. on the bridge to the Gong of Hope. Stand at the base of the steps, looking down the bridge and they will always spawn on the bridge. There are no obstructions and no mob spawns. In the Jade Forest you will always loot 2 fish per bubble also. Your second fish will always be a BFA fish also, so you will have a nice stack to put up on the AH. In 1 hour I looted 26 rares and finished off the rares that cane be caught anywhere .... just need the daily from Chromie now

Comentario de reidsb

I caught the Elusive Moonfish at 9:18 server time, which makes me think the cutoff for that might be 9pm.

Comentario de ProdromusHarv

I do think area specific secret fish interfere with common secret fish. Because of this, I recommend Nagrand's floating islands over Dalaran's so you don't get the Clown Fish instead of the common fish.

Comentario de Kurasu

After the patch, it should be noted that all Secret Fish now vend for 10s each.

Comentario de Unformedbobbie

don't know if this has been said yet, wasn't gonna sieve through all the comments to check but you can get multiples of a fish

Comentario de perbrethil

Can confirm the secret fishes also drop toys that can be fished up in the zone you are in. I personally got Crate of Bobbers: Cat Head and Crate of Bobbers: Wooden Pepe when walking with it in Suramar

Comentario de perbrethil

For the Tortollan Tank Dweller i found the best way is to stand at the top op the steps juuuuust in the "zone" of the drunk tank (19,43) and swim back and forth once in a while. Because the fish bubble spawns some distance from you it has the best chance to spawn in the bar area.

Comentario de Rexsplosion

After you're done farming up the specific location rares. I found a great place to just farm the everywhere ones, there's a LARGE floating rock in Hellfire Peninsula at 77, 66.

Works great, no ground clutter to obstruct your view and it's out of the way.

Comentario de jcales1987

Had to make a post! What helped me see them much easier was I used the item Inky Black Potion that you can get from the Darkmoon Faire Vendor. It darkens everything around you super nicely no matter the weather, and the globes pop out rather nicely. It started to rain in Nazmir and I could barely see anything.

Also I noticed that after I heard bubbles and a secret fish spawned, if I kept looking around me I would find another secret fish bubble up even without hearing bubbles. So always be looking around you :)

You can also obtain two fish out of one bubble. In the jade forest I received The Jade Story Fish and The Very Tiny Whale.

Comentario de obbig

After spending 45 minutes with the Gafas de peces secretos between 02:30-03:30 server time on Greymane (quiet part of the night) I found some slight differences to things in the excellent post by Kiingy, and a couple of suggestions from my experience.
As I said it was quiet time on the server which meant not many around on Mechagon, so I thought Bondo's Yard would be a good place to test things out. A nice big centre road in the middle and not many mobs about. It was only around 45 minutes of testing as I said and hadn't planned it to be even that long (time got away from me lol), so the fish numbers are only rough.

1. I didn't find the bubble sounds to be happening on a Secret Fish spawning, but rather on de-spawning - watched and heard when clicking too late lol
2. The Secret Fish spawn way faster than every 30 seconds, I was averaging an instant spawn within 50 yards each time I clicked. If I didn't see the instant spawn then yes it's around 25-30 seconds before the one you couldn't find disappears and is replaced.
3. Keep on the move. As I said they can spawn as far as 50 yards away, and not always in line of sight. I had a couple spawn behind the wall in Martini Maravillas's spray booth, a couple in Bestia robot estropeada's holding pen and a few more in amongst the inactive Gigante de relojería's.
4. The various Secret Fish now vendor for the grand sum of 10s each, no longer the more worthwhile sum of 25g for the time invested getting them (thanks Blizz in-game IRS lol). At least I can say that for the only two I caught in this session (multiples of each though) - Pez lunar esquivo & Caballa mecanizada.
5. Using /tar Secret Fish to highlight them does not work. Honestly didn't expect it to be that easy, but had to give it a try lol.

Finally I have to say if you aren't willing to invest time into getting this done, don't bother starting it until you are ready. It does take concentration, it will take time both in the searching and the clicking, but also the travelling to different places. If you do decide to invest in this then I'd suggest preferably starting it on a mage or druid for travel purposes (Camino del Sueño Esmeralda will come in handy). Try and find areas which are uncluttered by things like buildings, fences or gates for clear viewing purposes - also remembering that the 50 yard spawn is not line of sight so could be inside a building if you are close enough to one. If you use an addon like Fishing Buddy then turn on Enhance fishing sounds so you can hear them de-spawn, otherwise turn down your game music for your fishing sessions. Grab some nibbles and a drink and jump into it, but remember to keep an eye on the time - being deep in concentration is not great for noticing time go by lol.

Hope this helps people in some way and good luck with the fishing.

Comentario de quarny

Unless I have some really awful luck something must be up with Aletasal coleccionable, I've been on the islands in Nagrand and Hellfire Peninsula for hours and gotten all the other common fish 2x-7x each... Anyone able to confirm they've gotten it in Outlands?

Update: Currently at 16xGobio viajero 11xPez cebra camuflado 8xBallenita pequeñita 7xImitador oculto 7xFaucengañosa 6xSiluro discreto 4xEperlano invisible, by the way secret fish have a stack limit of 10, the fishing continues...
Update 2: Finally got it.

Comentario de jaspet

reclicking your goggles removes the buff - and you have to wait for them to be off cooldown. I learnt that the hard way :(

Comentario de Shimara

Hi!

Id like to share me and my friends method of doing this achievement. As we both completed this achievement in close to 4 hours, which i believe is faster than most (you may hate or down vote me for that, but im here to hopefully help you too!).

In my case we were 2. Me and my friend, we both used our goggles and were in a party. This caused us both to spawn fish around us, so we spawned twice the amount of fish! We could both loot one fish if we clicked them at the same time. You can probably be more than 2 to have more fish spawn, but if you are say 5 people clicking 1 fish at once, it might get a bit hectic.

- So we placed a marker at the spot we wanted to be around. And when a fish spawned, we both ran up to it to loot it- and back to the marker. So that the fish spawn in the desired area.
- We put each other on focus, so we could see each others cast time of looting the fish. This way we didn't have to call or type out to start looting the fish. When one person started looting it, that was your que to start looting it too!

If say I looted the specific fish first, then I would either be AFK on the marker, getting a drink or a break. Or i would keep looting to maybe get the random fish. Its important to stay until your friend loots it too! As he/she is also helping you out with more spawns. Team effort!

We did all the zone specific fish first, and if you got random fish along the way - great! But in the end when we both only needed the random fish, we read about standing on an island in Dalaran. For us this was the biggest jebait ever, as we were there for 20 minutes after we looted the Kirin Tor fish. And we didnt get a single random fish. We read about this spot in Sholazar Basin (Northrend), and it was the greatest place ever! I think, I myself got 3 random fish in a row at one point. I marked the area with a star on this map.

So grab a friend and happy hunting! I myself actually enjoyed it quite a bit, was a fun experience :)

Comentario de Kblade44

if all you have left are common fish and the fish while you are dead (basically fish that's not zone specific), I suggest going to a zone that has other interesting fish-able loot such as legion zones where you can get toys such as Crate of Bobbers: Can of Worms, etc

Comentario de TraumaNP

I think Blizz stealth nerf'd the Dalaran island. Spen 1 hour there farming the non zone specific fish and only got the clown fish and the moonfish. Spoke with multiple other players farming the area with similar experiences. This was on Trollbane from 2200 until 2300.

Anyone else with this experience?

Comentario de Georgieanna

A 26 second timer on a loop seems exact for tracking the secret fish spawns without sound. I made a timer bar to start after a 5 second delay and loop 26 seconds to match up with the time the fish is clickable rather than the sound. Less frustrating than trying to only rely on my ears; since it's rather hard to hear a cue played on my deaf side and constantly spinning the camera is just going to make me motion sick.

edit: easy way to line up a 26s looping timer to spawns without sound: start it when a fish despawns.

Comentario de gentlemongoose

Just got Ancient Mana Fin from Meredil in Suramar so it looks like swimming in the harbor is required.

Comentario de RenataKane

One nice surprise about this: obviously you aren't competing with anyone for spawn. I was at the single Isle of Thunder spawn spot with eight other people, and when bubbles spawned, everyone was running in different directions for bubbles I couldn't see. I had my own bubbles and nobody was running for mine. So it's clear that when you get the sound, you're not trying to beat anyone else to it.

Comentario de Cathubodva

Used Fractured Necrolyte Skull toy to teleport to Black Temple and farmed all of the "common" fish on a floating island near the Nether Drake area in under an hour. The bubbles are easily seen against the gray green stone and there is no ground clutter to get in the way. I never saw these where I was fishing for the Kirin Tor Clown (floating island behind Dalaran).

Comentario de draksoul24

if you are looking for the common fish goto Darkmoon Island then the area in front of the Darkmoon Rabbit cave 77,80 got all of them plus the night/day fish in an hour most will spawn underwater and they spawn fast

Comentario de Tacvii

Good spot for the "Common" Secret fish is Draenor, Nagrand around 50,82.
There are a lot of cone shaped pillars coming out of the ocean that give you good space and visibility to catch them.

Happy hunting.

Comentario de adorawu

Items of note:

Nat Pagle fish can be found in the bubbles
Dalaran coins can also be found for the fountain achievement
Midnight Salmon drop rate % does not seem to be time gated. I'm sitting on a nice stack just by looking for bubbles off and on over the entire weekend.
Greens have also been found in bubbles - not a high % rate. But I ended up with a green wand and a dagger.

Does anyone know if the WoD lunkers drop from the bubbles?

Comentario de Beace

I really have to question if these "General" fishes really can be caught anywhere. I've been 29/30 for days, just missing the Travelling Goby. I figured I'd just pick it up whenever I saw the orbs while doing wq's and stuff in BFA outdoor zones. But it never happened. I'm not sure that I picked up any General fishes at all in the BFA outdoor zones, out of maybe ~500 loots.

So based on comments around wowhead I went to the Bittertide Lake in Sholazar Basin, and sure enough I started picking up General fishes all the time. Took me 20 minutes to get the Travelling Goby. List of the fishes I caught during that time:

2x Very Tiny Whale
1x Invisible Smelt
1x Camouflaged Snark
1x Inconspicuous Catfish
1x Unseen Mimmic
1x Collectable Saltfin
1x Travelling Goby

So once you're done with the zone-specific fishes, I strongly recommend this area. To be specific I used the 37,41 spot (middle of the beach, so that orbs will either spawn on the sand or right on the edge of the water).

Comentario de Blackseal

I just completed the achievement moments ago. I had caught everything near the end except for all the 8 "common" fish. I caught every single one of them (including multiples except for the last I needed to complete the achievement) on top of a mushroom in Zangarmarsh Burning Crusade version of Outland. Excellent spot! You can see the orb spawn from any where on the mushrooms and can be mounted so you can just ride and click the orb quickly when it spawns. Just find a large one and stand near its edge. The last I caught was Camouflaged Snark.

Comentario de Aurecante

If you can fly in 8.2 and want to hunt the "commons" rare fish while also grabbing current content fish, I suggest going to Nazjatar coord 39 49 on top of the small platform.

Comentario de Billyjack

@Kiingy thank you for all your hard work you put into this for all of us and to all the rest of the people who contributed to it as well, it is a massive cheat sheet that is of great help!

Guys just to add to this topic, I am at The Summer Fields in the Valley of the Four Winds area, and while using those goggles, clicked on one of those fish and the bubbles, and got the Gran raya de mar
I was not expecting that at all.

Comentario de halloweenie

When choosing your camping spot:
Keep in mind that the fish spawn in a circle with a radius of about 40 yards. You can restrict this area by choosing somewhere boxed in with walls, air, deep water, etc. Be sure that the obstacles you're using to constrict the area are steep enough, though, as the fish will spawn on hilltops and steep slopes if they have to. High bridges are a great spot to farm as they restrict bubble spawning to either directly behind or in front of you and often have no mobs to speak of. Floating islands in Dalaran (Crystalsong or Broken Isles), Nagrand and probably Netherstorm are also great spots. There are little ground clutter, no mobs, and the islands are small which means no spinning camera and running around to find the bubbles. Different zones seem to have their own "quirks" though. Jade Forest, as pointed out, always give two fish per bubble - and if you get a rare fish, you will always get another rare fish. (An interesting exception is when a Golden Sunsoaker drops, I always only get one fish.) Dalaran (Broken Isles) will give fountain coins. In Mechagon, you can get all three rare fish at once if you do in the alternate timeline, paint yourself green, and find a nice place to farm. In any BfA zone you can get Midnight Salmon which is a useful item for the avid fisherman. In any Legion zone you can get the special lures for the fishes used to get/upgrade your fishing artifact! In any WoD zone you can presumably find lunkers in their respective areas. More likely than not you'll be left with a few common fish after collecting all of your zone exclusives, so pick your farming spot based on, perhaps, another expansion's fishing content you haven't completed yet. You also don't have to pick up the fish to get credit for the achievement, so don't worry about a full inventory! You will get credit upon picking up the bubble and it will be mailed to you later.

Another interesting thing to note is that you don't have to have the goggles to find the secret fish, nor pick up the rare secret fish for the achievement as long as there's someone in the party with the buff on. Theoretically, if you have the patience for that, one can get part 2 before part 1.

Comentario de CorvisLikho

For the Rondador del pozo in Mount Hyjal, after sitting at 60, 25 and going up and down for 2 days and hundreds of fish, I went down to the second set of roots and got it on the very first bubble there.

(Special shout out to Audren-Stormrage for letting me know they got it down there)

Comentario de Taliesen

If you have flying and hover in mid-air, the fish can spawn in all directions around you (meaning they can spawn in mid-air). Since looting them doesn't dismount you, you can can also loot them in mid-air. I found this useful in Nazjatar where there isn't a lot of clear, flat space. Be aware that they will sometimes spawn on the ground below you, so keep an eye out.

Also, if you have surround sound headphones, you can estimate the fish's spawn location based on the direction of the bubble noise. I believe it's considered an "effect" in the volume control options, so I recommend turning off ambience/music.

Comentario de turgorr

Do this on a Highmountain Tauren if possible, the racial passive means you have a chance to loot 2 fish. I've received 2 rares from a single Secret Fish.

Comentario de oozie

the secret fish look like small cloudy balls (with a fish in them) near ground level

one will spawn and last about 30 secs before it vanishes if not looted
after you loot one, or after 30 secs of unlooting (new word!) a new one will spawn after a random delay of about 1-20 secs

(i found pulling camera back and about a 45 degree to top down look seemed to give a good view of surroundings as they always pop a short way away from you)

Comentario de Merana

I kept having issues with bubbles not showing up when they spawned too close to my character, so the floating islands in Outland were a bit of a bother. Because of that I tried out the Steam Springs in Borean Tundra and ended up liking it a lot.
The very large shallow pools of water with a few steam elementals moving back and forth made it really easy to spot the fish bubbles. The color scheme of the general area was very easy on the eyes too in my opinion.

Comentario de Nick1186

Looted Golden Sunsoaker at 7:22am server

Comentario de Castor27

So I figured something out today while farming the Pez de cuentos de jade . When you grab a bubble at 41, 79 0n the terrace in Jade Forest (Twinspire Keep) you get 2 fish. Normally it is 2 Pandarian fish. However, when you get the rare fish you also get a second rare. For me it was always one of the "Common" fish. SO theoretically you can farm the commons here and it seems that every time you pop a Jade Story you will also get a common. If you are having trouble getting them all it may be worth a shot farming here.

Comentario de oozie

for the 8 which , according to Kiingys excellent post, can spawn anywhere - I had most success in jade forest - because if you get the one that only pops there , it always comes in a bubble with one of these extra fish as well

Comentario de zoransis

I wanted to post a suggestion. If you're just starting and can use any of the rare fish, I suggest clearing Throne of Thunder out through Horridon. Once he's dead, this is a flat, wide-open area that will spawn BfA fish. If you're grinding, might as well get mats you can sell on AH (Fish Oil at least!) while doing so, and have ZERO aggro and ZERO obstacles. Just stand in the center of the arena (mounted) and keep rotating the camera! You will zone back into this spot if you return before the instance reset (can be up to a week, the next Tuesday at 10am Server).

Comentario de hollyberries

If you're in a party with someone who has the goggles effect on, you can also see and loot the Secret Fish bubbles. Even if you don't have your own goggles. But only one person can loot the bubbles that come up before it disappears for everyone.

Comentario de Aleo22

I got Collectable Saltfin in the Eternal Palace by clicking on one of the many 'secret' fish bubbles around. I haven't even completed the achievement to get the goggles.
Not sure if it's a bug.

Edit : Just got Unseen Mimmic too.
Edit 2 : I got 6 of them here.

Comentario de Tomcatbear

Multiple people can loot the same bubble while in a party as long as it is timed up right.
A party of 3 of us were on top of the pyramid sharing our bubbles.

it seems as long as people loot the bubble before the first person to click it is done looting it, if you click after that you will have no bubble to click. just click the bubble before the first person to click it finishes gathering from the bubble.

Comentario de stingah

I just caught Elusive Moonfish @ 6:43 PM (EU-Lightbringer), so it doesnt need to be after 9:30PM as it seems.

Comentario de babe1973

I caught the Gobio viajero in the portal room in Stormwind. Thought it was a cute reference to travel and portals.

Comentario de waterfall99

I noticed something useful while trying for the Nazmir fish. I was stood on a swampy bit of ground (36, 74 ish) with a wide area of shallow water and land islands around me and I noticed that when I heard a splash, I could see a ripple with no obvious source (like things walking or bugs or something) almost instantly in the watery area. If I followed its progress the bubble spawned where the ripple stopped. No idea if this works in other watery type areas as I'm still looking for the same fish, but I've tested it 20 times now and it's worked every time. I will update if I find the same in other zones with watery areas.

Comentario de Renje

100% the best place to farm your remaining commons is at the very top of the Zul'dazar pyramid. Very small area. if you hear it spawn close, just run to the other side and run back as it does not appear directly under you.

Comentario de Shalank

I found 7 fish on this list so far in "Argus" ... swiming in the water on Mac'Aree. TomTom /way 48, 52, (not counting the 4 I got while dead) don't ask me which ones, because I couldn't keep track, I was getting so many, but maybe there are more.

I used the Legion Underlight Angler fishing pole so I could swim fast. And the Void Totem toy on cooldown, so I could see the bubbles better. I put the Liquid Detail setting on Ultra, Particle Density ion High, and Outline on Good. Seemed to make seeing it on my TV a bit easier. Also, if your eyes start to hurt, switch to Color Blind Accessibility. I used Tritanopia for awhile.

Comentario de Bibock

I went on all of the specific locations and now I need to farm commons fishes and time fishes.

Most of the people here give tricks to get them faster but in old content areas.

Each time I want to click on the bubble, I want to get money... huh I mean BfA fishes (that's the same for me).

So I've found a good spot in Nazjatar!

Just in front of Mezzamere (39, 45), there is a rock with two Sea Spireshell on it.

Big enough to spawn bubbles but not too big for lazy people just like me.

I'm just hovering back and forth along the rock and bubbles keep spawning over and over :D

I caught an Pez lunar esquivo just after 9 pm server time on the floating island in Nagrand (Outland).

A good place to find the Anywhere fish is the SW portal room. I found a Golden Sunsoaker there as well... around 11-11:30am.

Comentario de Kronatan

Tarro de arena calentada por el sol and Sombraescama doesnt affect on Absorbesol dorado and Pez lunar esquivo. So you have to catch them according to proper server time.

Comentario de Bologna64

You can literally get any fish from the bubble. I just got a Giant Sea Ray when I landed in everbloom wilds.

Comentario de Djuntas

Posting here for good luck :P

The worst fish rng for me is the elusive moonfish and the green fish in Mechagon. Rest has been between 5-30 mins.

Some places listed already in up voted comments are great. Also had good luck getting everywhere fish at Horridion.

Comentario de Abbye

I liked the Dalaran Islands (/way 38.96, 99.63). Also a good spot to get missing fountain coins. Another plus is the port in being so close by.

Comentario de megitance

I am finding some bubbles are not clickable....anyone know why?

Comentario de Hellaine

23. Elusive Moonfish - Night only. 9:30pm to 8am.

I have just catched the Elusive moonfish at 20:48 server time, so the timer might be slightly different :) Anyway, many thanks for this great guide!

Comentario de Deathope

The top comment has a fantastic guide on how to complete the achievement, but I wanted to give a few tips and tricks I found along the way to kill 2 fish with 1 stone!

First off: A bunch of the fish are NOT zone specific, these can be caught while also mount farming! I personally sat at Sha of Anger / Nalak (Can also get the Thunderous Flounder here) / Oondasta / Galleon.

After that, I ended up at a Zandalari Warbringer in Kun-Lai, this allowed me to go for a chance at their mounts, plus BoA rep tokens (Eg, Stolen Celestial Insignia) plus plus a bunch of ore/herbs/etc that I could then sell on the AH!

The fish I collected at any of these spots were:
Inconspicuous Catfish
Deceptive Maw
Invisible Smelt
Unseen Mimmic (I didn't spell it wrong, it's spelled like that in game!)
Very Tiny Whale
Travelling Goby
Collectible Saltfin
Camouflaged Snark (If you thought it was Camouflaged Shark, you're not alone)
Elusive Moonfish
(Still working at Golden Sunsoaker in the Warbringer spot.)

Another fun fact is you can get the Great Sea Ray BoE mount that you can also sell!

Highmountain Tauren can also proc extra fish off their looting!

One common bug I've also found is for some reason if the bubbles spawn while I'm in the air, quite often they're not properly clickable when they spawn and fall/land. Try to stay on the ground as much as you can!

Happy fish hunting!

Comentario de Mydge

Out of curiosity and boredeom, I tried the Talismán de pesca pandaren antiguo with the goggles. It does not give any extra fish.

Comentario de datundra

Some info that might be of use to someone :)

Was helping the wife with a quest and had my goggles on. She said "I see your bubbles"..... curiosity got to me and I told her to go ahead and click on it.. she did have the gear... she did get a fish... she did also continually get Rare fish too....

She is only 111, and I am 120. She has never done the quest to get the goggles on that toon, but she did get the goggles on one of her 120 lvl toons and we both have been working on getting all the fish for the "Secret Fish and Where to Find Them" Achievement.

She now has 11 of the rare fish checked off on the achievement :)

Comentario de BananaInPocket

Apparently you can also get two or more of the same rare fish. Got 3 Spiritual salmons while farming the dead ones. https://imgur.com/a/WcXdK4e

Also don't worry about having your bags full, it will get sent to the postmaster and still count even if u don't directly loot it.

Comentario de nastydeath

Somehow i got three rare fish in a row while doing ToT 25HC, right around Horridon i looted four bubbles and got three rares out of it

Edit: Right after the turtle boss, i got the Very Tiny Whale.

Comentario de SeSampa

If you are only missing the general, daytime or deathrealm fishes the floating island in nagrand is awesome. If you stand at 69/69 you dont even need to check 360° around you cause they can only spawn in front of you.

Screnshot:
https://i.imgur.com/FqH6AsT.jpg

The floating island near dalaran will do the same but has some grass and bushes on the ground which block you view.

Comentario de nytetears

For the non-location specific fishes, I suggest going to the proving ground, I got a lot of my fish there, it's flat with no agro mobs so you can see the bubbles easily

Comentario de Katarinea

As if there aren't enough comments here, I decided to add some of the places I found most useful in farming!

Rotted Blood Cod - Zul Naz'man is to the top right of the Uldir triangle. Right around where the two roads pointing towards Kragwa's Burrow appear (around 56,63) there's a small ruin and a ledge that has a sheer drop. If you back up the edge of the ledge (ha), you'll have the same effect as the floating islands. While the bubble CAN spawn behind one of the pillars of the ruin, you can spin the camera easily and not miss any.

Jade Story Fish - The spot people have mentioned above, with the bell, is wonderful!

Thunderous Flounder - If you don't catch it within the first few casts, try the courtyard in front of the raid instance.

Mechanized Mackerel - For both this and the Displaced Scrapfin, I used a tiny cave above Uncle T'rogg's (58,19). It's above the rocks, and while you can get to it without flying, flying obviously makes it easier. It's called "Echo's Cave" as a subzone. Just back yourself up against the back wall and they'll all spawn in your line of sight!

Queen's Delight - There's a spot overlooking the Water Lords world quest point for Kelpwillow that I found useful. It's on the rocks up above, though, so you'll need either a Deepcoral Pod or flying to get to it. Just back up to the edge like an island!

Prisoner Fish - Tol Barad (PvP area). If the event isn't ongoing, most ideally if your faction is in control, this is a good spot! The road south of the West Spire, just where it begins to widen before splitting, has very little clutter and no troublesome terrain. Park yourself in between the two rocky outcroppings and begin your spin-fishing! I also got level-appropriate fish (120 fish) so it could be a good spot for farming if you're sick of the others.

Barbed Fjord Fin - Just north of Westguard Keep, past the bridge and close-ish to the battle pet guy, there's a pretty good flat area where you can back up to the cliff edge. I also meant to try on the icebergs but I got distracted.

Dead Fel Bone - If you talk to the draenei beside the portal down to the surface, he'll port you to the very beginning area. There's rocks here where you can back up against the void and wait for bubbles to spawn.

Comentario de Alieru

If you happen to be right on top of a secret fish when it spawns, it makes a watery gurgling sound! Most of the time, though, you're too far away to hear it.

Comentario de issues0815

Honestly - best spot overall to catch ANY non-zone-specific fish (including day & night fish) is this spot in Zuldazar https://imgur.com/a/V9Nixiz (/way 45.76, 54.55). Fishy bubbles can only spawn in 2 small areas. Never miss a bubble again!

Comentario de Turowai

Something I found useful while hunting for the bubbles, was the Poción negra de tinta. I always 'wear' these now anyway (ever since they came out), love the darkened look...
But in context, I found it helped make the bubbles 'pop out' more when in the dark (everything around the bubble darkens... the bubbles themselves do not).

Hope this helps someone, and best of luck finding your fish guys!

Comentario de jbutterfly

I found that it's useful to form your own private group so you can place raid marker for your starting point. That way, you can return to it and continue to farm.

Comentario de OceanM

Thank you all for this guide - particularly Kiingy and Sipder2. I have just earned the Hyper Compressed Ocean and started fishing. The hardest fish to catch was Green Roughy! The answer was to stick at it until it finally dropped. The easiest was the Well Lurker which turned up o the first drop.

Comentario de Freyan

You know you've spent too long on this achievement when you start looking around for fish bubbles in real life... :|

Comentario de farble1670

Do we need to keep these fish until we have all of them for the achievement, or once caught can they be sold?

Comentario de farble1670

Couple things I noticed:

1. If you are flying when the bubble spawns there's a high chance that it'll be unclickable.
2. These spawn underwater also. No reason to think the drop chance will be better there but the bubbles are easy to see in the water. Another option for a nice wide open space with good visibility. Maybe only reasonable for druids, or if you have some other swim speed boost.

Comentario de frakbt

For beginners (like me):

The Secret Fish bubbles cannot be targeted with "/target".

The bubbles always spawn on the ground; so if you're swimming, don't look for them on the surface of the water.

High bridges or platforms are great, as they limit the area in which bubbles can spawn.

Comentario de nicisace

So, just caught an Pez lunar esquivo on a floating island in Outland Nagrand at 16:13 NZ time (2:13pm server, Caelestrasz / Nagrand... GMT+13 with daylight savings). Pretty frustrating given the time - wouldn't have been so bothered if I hadn't been farming for Absorbesol dorado (the last one I need) for a few hours leading up to that >.<

Comentario de Nullpoint

I figured out how to force the fish to spawn in a location of your choosing. (if you've got a structure like the example I found this at)
This in in jade forest on the bridge at /way 39.80 40.27

https://media.giphy.com/media/IeiprU1hwa7uBr1cqU/giphy.gif

See animated gif of how it works.

Get on flying mount.
Stand on roof.
Hear bubble sound.
Fly down to bridge and touch mount's feet to ground.
Fly back to roof and touch mount's feet to roof.
Fish will move to the roof.

Comentario de dreamturtle

I just got Pulpo imitador while waiting for Nalak at Isle of Thunder. I suppose other fishes for Nat Pagle reputation should be obtainable this way too.

Comentario de yellowfeverWow

The problem with fishing "common" rares in Dalaran is that the loot table also includes all the fish-able coins. My guess is that since there are tens of coins, the chance to get the achievement rares is getting reduced a lot.

Comentario de Rothar

Grommloc Hack

If you've got your Grommloc pet out but there are no other battle pets around for him to frighten, he will instead cast what looks like a fear effect but acts like a Secret Fish bubble. This usually appears right next to you or just a few steps away.

Comentario de dreamturtle

If you have your bags full and loot the secret fish bubble, then the bubble disappears and you get nothing - but don't worry, the fish will be send to you by mail from Postmaster (at least the rare one).

Comentario de Serynn

I just am finishing this up and found a pretty great place to spawn secret fish in Uldum to farm the remaining anywhere fish, if you go to the ends of Vir'naal Dam (I was at 52, 45) and sit on the square platform in a corner, the secret fish will spawn at the opposite corner. You can just go back and forth collecting them. It's pretty quick and there's no guesswork as to where the fish will spawn!

Comentario de Paul94

I don't know if this helps, I probably just got lucky but when I was in Tol Barad to catch my Prisoner Fish, before I caught that, in the first 5 bubbles I found 3 fish among those not related to any specific place. As if the catch rate of those fish was higher in Tol Barad than in other places, even more so considering that I was still missing almost all of those fish although I had almost caught all the others.

Comentario de LadySuncrusher

After trying for days in old Nagrand on the floating islands and elsewhere for the Elusive Moonfish, I decided to got to battle Horridon in the Throne of Thunder. After about 6 bubbles, realm time of 18:25 @ Emerald Dream, I looted this very elusive fish. IMO, visit Horridon, try for the mount and pet and potter about for your very own Elusive Moonfish :) BTW, the floating islands in old Nagrand are great for all your common fish needed for this achievement.

Comentario de Isolte

A tip when looking for the secret fish that require you to be dead. (Fantasma velado, Memo mortojo, Flotador silencioso, Salmón espiritual) I highly recommend not doing this one/dying in Mechagon or any gnome or goblin themed zone that puts you in a noisy flying robot or rocket mount because you'll have a harder time hearing the bubble sounds (if you're using audio to help indicate where the Secret Fish spawned near you).

Nagrand and Common Secret Fish

After playing around with spawn points and following many players' suggestions to farm common secret fish on the floating rocks in Outland, Nagrand, I discovered how to get them to spawn in a tiny little area each time. It seems that secret fish only spawn on the same plane as your character in this location. If you are in the middle of the air you will see them floating in mid-air. If you are on a floating rock, they will spawn somewhere on that floating rock. In order to minimize how far they will spawn thus never having to look for them, I found that parking on the smaller rock just below the larger one (smaller rock at 46.8, 58.0), waiting for the "splash", flying straight up about 100 feet on level with the large rock, and then flying straight back down will bring the secret fish into focus. It seems Blizzard created a method to make any secret fish that spawns close to your character invisible until you leave that immediate area. This is to minimize botting, I would imagine. Coupled with the fact that the secret fish "splash" happens every 25 seconds, this should make it easy to farm close to 144 every hour.

Sit at the rock, wait for the splash, fly straight up, fly straight back down, and there will be a secret fish waiting for you every time.

Comentario de Lichtbresche

I recommend, at least for all the fishes that can be caught everywhere, that you go to Silithus (after destruction) to the coords: 32.88, 51.44. This should be a nice flat big surface so you can easily spot the fishes.

Comentario de Lichtbresche

anyone else who can't click the fish even though they have none in their bags?

Comentario de Gwiez

I Nazjatar, I got -none- of the "common" fish. Just time-dependent two (Pez lunar esquivo Absorbesol dorado) and a bunch of Delicia de la reina.

Comentario de Donlad

So are these only obtainable with secret fish goggles? I seem to have an invisble smelt already without having these goggles :thinking:

Comentario de zlodziey

The "common" fish that can be caught anywhere... yea, I don't think this is true. I spent hours on the last few common fish I had to catch with no luck. For whatever fish you're missing, look up their wowhead entry for specific locations. Good luck!

Comentario de RuEmileo

After farming the Nagrand, Outlands floating islands for a few days and I was only missing the Elusive Moonfish one of the comments by @Gwiez said to try Nazjatar and I flew around looking for a decent spot. I ended up sitting perched upon an uneven rock at 44, 53 got it from my first bubble. Attached are some screenshots of where I was. https://imgur.com/a/h8fyqrw

Comentario de Diezme

If you go to Nazmir, Taluka Bridge at 49. 57 you can run from one end of the bridge to about the halfway point and then back again and you'll get fish galore. I picked up 1 Traveling Goby, 2 Invisible Smelt, 1 Very Tiny Whale, 2 Midnight Salmon, 2 Collectable Saltfin, 3 Deceptive Maw, 2 Golden Sunsoaker, 3 Unseen Mimic, 1 Inconspicuous Catfish, lots of green (uncommon) gear and a ton of fish. Very easy.

Comentario de gmack28

With a tip from logicmuppet for catching the Collectable Saltfin at /way 63.57 64.17 in Borean Tundra, I was able to also catch the Elusive Moonfish

Oddly enough, this was at 6.45pm Pacific Time.

Comentario de rwsanderson

First 29 fish took a little over 3 hours of "Goggles" time. Last fish took 4 hours and 41 minutes of "Goggles" time. I had 85 quest fish by the time I finished.

All fish in order they were caught.

Comentario de purenrgy

For the non-area specific fish go to Jade Forest /way 37.76, 6.11 . The area always drops 2 fish each time! This means if you get a special fish, you always get 2 of them.

Its a grind no matter what but at least it's twice as fast here. See screenshot I attached.

Comentario de AppleGirrl

Most important information is:
Time-Exclusive Fish
These fish can be caught at any zone, as long as it's a certain time of the day.
* Elusive Moonfish - Can only be caught at night, from around 9:30pm to 8:00am server time.
* Golden Sunsoaker - Can only be caught during the day, from around 8:00am to 9:30pm server time.

Comentario de Ragestatus

Posting my experience in case it helps anyone. I followed tips for almost every fish, but for the 8 "common" fish listed in the first comment, I spent the majority of my time at 34, 34 (Shrine of Fellowship) in the Jade Forest.

Anytime I looted a Pez de cuentos de jade, it was accompanied by one of the fish that can be found from anywhere. I spent 45 minutes here today and looted Gobio viajerox1, Ballenita pequeñitax1, Siluro discretox2, Pez cebra camufladox2, and Faucengañosax1. The bubbles can sometimes spawn on the side of the mountain, but otherwise it felt like a decent spot.

Good luck all!

Comentario de Juusanban

Just caught the last 2 fish while waiting for a rare to spawn in Uldum.
Unseen Mimmic and Unconspicious Catfish.
So the posts about needing to be in Pandaria for these are nonsense.
RNG rules!

Comentario de Wolfenstein3000

Very easy method for the common fish. Azsuna 68.54, on top of the small rock.

1.Mount your flier on top of the rock.
2.When you hear the splash, fly straight up for 3 seconds, then straight down, the bubble will appear very close to you

I did this for 1.5 hours trying to get the Golden Sunsoaker (time specific) and got every common fish multiple times

Comentario de Fatee

Fantastic guide, did it casually over a couple of days, didn't really have a problem getting any of the fish, the guide really is spot on. Thank you for taking the time to do this and for sharing.

Has anybody else had this experience?

Comentario de puma22

I've consistently gotten two fish, and often two rare fish, at the Warbringer location in Jade Forest (Woods of the Lost, 52/20). The zone-rare ist Jade Story fish, but I also got all the general and time-specific ones quickly.

Comentario de Wolf699

Excellent spot to farm commons is where others have noted for Jade Story Fish.

I stood on either side of the top floor south side balcony (41.11 or 41.83 - 79.67) of Twinspire Keep in the Jade Forest facing the stairway down. Usually alternating between sides.

Stay flying mounted (grabbing the fish doesn't dismount you). Almost every bubble spawns in easy view, and double fish made the grind on commons way easier. No mobs or any interference. Flat with no ground clutter.

Not so good for the dead fish; you can't fly and you only get one fish per bubble.

As noted by others, the floating island south west of Dalaranm (46-68) is excellent for this. While on Dalaran (the Broken Isles, Purple Dalaran hearthstone version), near the edge facing the island, fly up high and dismount to kill yourself. Then it's easy to follow the red arrow back to the island. Be careful to be high up and flying full speed when your ghost goes off the edge of Dalaran..you will dismount. But if you are high enough your momentum will carry you to the island, where you can mount again. It took me less than 5 minutes to get the four dead fish. Remember to get up high before heading back for your body, the dismount happens both ways.

Comentario de crockcw

I found the majority of the "common fish" in Krasarang Wilds in the cove around 83, 22. Dropped Very Tiny Whale, Invisible Smelt, Collectable Saltfin (x2), Unseen Mimic, Travelling Goby, Camouflaged Shark, and Golden Sunsoaker (x2) all within 1 hour. I also used my paint bladder and picked up the Green Roughy while I was here too. Seems like a very good spot to farm!

Edit: I came back at night and also picked up the Elusive Moonfish within 5 minutes.

Comentario de Eilsel

I was fishing in Nagrand from 6:15 a.m. server to 8:00 server trying to catch the Elusive Moonfish and when I looked to see the fish I did catch I had 3 of the Golden Sunsoakers in my bags. So Server time is not correct according to what I caught. Maybe it is real time?

Comentario de Trynottodie

I was able to fly to Neverest and the fish immediately spawned. I got the Thin Air Flounder on the first try. Same for Nordrassil and the Well Lurker.

Comentario de Lilylight

If you use these in Draenor, can you catch lunkers?

Comentario de zysis

I've found my own little spot for this, a bit late to mention it but in dalaran there's a massive tower, way up top is 3 very nice flat areas and with a hearthstone for Dalaran it's the ideal spot for me to farm the fish. Nagrand seemed to far away and Dalaran is like super close lol

It's also worth noting there is a fish to get, and you also get the coins for the well, which is strange but I'm new to this goggle thing.

Comentario de Masteph

As an added side note: If you use your goggles in Jade Forest you have a chance to get two secret fish at once. I just got the Story Fish and Inconspicuous Catfish in the same bubble. So if you are having trouble farming the generics/ spirit walking/ time-gated ones, it would be advantageous to farm them in Jade Forest.

Comentario de Buran318

You can be on a flying mount when you are collecting the secret fish, but you CANNOT be in air when the bubble spawns.
Just results in a non lootable bubble :)

Comentario de SnobbyBoss

10/13 - Since the release of 9.0.1 I have been unable to get credit for any rare fish I loot. They achievement notification flashes at the bottom of my screen but it does not get checked off on the achievment.

10/20 - I am once again getting credit for the fish, things seem to be fixed.

Comentario de fateswarm

I don't know why nobody figured this out yet but it's pretty obvious:

1. The internal "spell" that spawns these is practically a big ball (think of mages' arcane explosion)

2. Any random valid spot in that sphere can spawn a fish

3. Hence it does not matter what direction you look at

Comentario de camy011

Wanted to share a good spot I found while farming the last of my common fish. Heard someone mention the rare drop fish might be higher in instances. While that doesn't seem to be the case, trial of the crusader is really nice for farming these. You can just stand in the center and keyboard turn, they always spawn near the walls.

Comentario de Wollbane

I know some of the higher rated comments are advising the floating islands in Nagrand or Dalaran for the common fish, but I had no luck in Dalaran at least; can't speak for Nagrand. I was on the southern island in Dalaran (Legion) for the better part of an hour and saw none of the common fish (I had collected all the others and only gotten one of the commons). I went to the bridge at 40, 41 in Jade Forest like others have suggested and had much more luck there. I was getting a common fish on average every five minutes, so you are still looking at an hour or so to collect them all, two if you get unlucky.

Good luck.

Out of 4 bubbles in Alt timeline Mechagon, two of them had both Displaced Scrapfin and Mechanized Mackerel. So 4 fish in two bubbles in the first 4 bubbles that spawned for me in alt.

Comentario de czeshirecat

Favourite spot to fish for non location specific fish is with your back somewhere at the edge of a precipice facing inwards, with little ground clutter.
For me, I found all of mine whilst doing old Molten Front (stormwind/mount hyjal/portal @ 27,56) achievements, standing at location 74,41. Floor is black so it's easier to see the bubble which usually appears W/N/E of your position.

Pretty neat, but you can get the ghost fish while ALIVE when in Shadowlands. I've had both Deadeye Wally and multiple Veiled Ghost's looted while levelling in Maldraxxus.

Comentario de FangedPanda

Oi vey! I started this out with oooo this will be pretty easy, it was till I got down to the last darn fish, mine being the "Deceptive Maw" and boy was he. I spent longer try to get this one fish than I did for all of them. From Kun-Lia, Jade Forest to the random locations everyone else had tried. I finally gave up and went to camp out an alpaca in Vol'dun and for giggles and something to occupy the time I activated the handy dandy goggles, 4th attempt and I finally got the lil bugger. Stood on the tiny patch of sand @ 24.54 64.98

As far as I can tell so far, you can catch only one kind of secret fish in the Maw: Floundering Soul, which ironically is not part of the achievement. (Though you can also find regular fish.)

I highly (and I mean highly), recommend that you start farming the "Displaced Scrapfin" first, because you have to rely on Chromie being in Mechagon to pick up the quest in order to do it.

Don't be like me and wait on this one until the end. I've been checking Mechagon for a week now for Chromie to show up and she's still not here.

Just thought I might mention that you can get the fish you need to be dead for in Elysian Hold (and probably the rest of Shadowlands) without having to actually be dead. I imagine it's due to the fact that you're in the afterlife in those zones which is technically being dead? /shrug

I can only vouch for Elysian Hold though because it's where I got all of mine. 😁

Oddly enough, it's not just fish and junk you can get from these bubbles... You can actually get lures from them, too! I recevied an Cebo encantado from one of these bubbles while I was in Suramar.

Comentario de DaemoniKira

The entire process, from obtaining the first Mechagon-specific fish for the goggles, to the very last rare secret fish in the bubble (of course, it was the Absorbesol dorado), took me about 12-15 hours total, from start to finish (I don't recall exact times, but that's approximately correct). I did ALL of this in the last 24 hours. Your Mileage WILL Vary, but expect to take approximately this long, if this is your sole focus.

Good luck, and happy hunting!

TIPS and TRICKS:

Forcing Bubble Spawns on a very specific, fixed point in space near your character:
This is a very easy, FANTASTIC method pointed out by user Chaostorm, and it is totally foolproof and always works, when done correctly!
-Plant your character on a structure with a very small footprint. ("Small footprint" meaning just enough space for your mount to stand, and that's it!)
-In my experience, I have found that my flying mount had to be actually standing on the given surface, not hovering over it. Hovering caused bubbles to spawn elsewhere (usually on the ground), far away, and we don't want that! ;)
-When you hear the splash, fly straight up into the air ~100 yards, then come straight back down (you can do so immediately).
-You will find a bubble spawned right where your character has been standing, instead of anywhere within 40 yards of your character, sometimes in hard-to-see spots!
-You don't even have to fly straight up the instant you hear the splash: I've tested, and if you wait, you will still force a bubble to spawn on you. You can wait as long as right before the next splash; but once it splashes again, you'll have lost your chance at the previous bubble. For efficiency's sake, avoid doing this.
-Also, it is not possible to "collect" bubbles: Once a bubble is spawned, if you spawn another bubble without clicking the first one, the previous one will disappear.
-My favorite spot for Dalaran rare fish and coins for Privador de deseos, El maestro de las monedas, La fuente de los deseos, Plata en la ciudad, and Hay oro en esa fuente de ahí is perched on top of the orb the statue is holding in Southern Dalaran at /way 48.2 64.2!
-Check your keybindings for "fly up" and "fly down", and just use those two buttons to change altitude. This makes it much easier to land back on the small surface with your mount's feet on it. (My "fly up" is set to "Spacebar", and my "fly down" is set do "x". I'm not sure if this is default,)

-Clicking the bubbles but not getting any loot? Check your bags to make sure they aren't full!

-Because Dalaran's fishing loot table is filled with all kinds of Copper, Silver, and Gold coins, non-coin "coins", and general greys, Dalaran does NOT seem to be a good choice for farming other (non-Kirin Clown) rare secret fish, including the 2 time-of-day-dependent fish, or even the 8 fish that can be found anywhere, anytime. I did, however, farm all 4 of the "dead" fish in Dalaran, as you can fly here while dead! This fact is especially helpful when employing the Force-Bubble-Spawn trick detailed above while hunting the 4 "dead" fish. It did not take me more than 45 minutes to find all 4 in Dalaran.

For what it's worth, I just got an Elusive Moonfish in Haven at 8:05pm server time. I also got a Veiled Ghost at Elysian Hold while alive. My guess is that all of the 'fish while dead' fish are available in the Shadowlands, which kinda makes sense.

Comentario de InvisiBill

After getting everything else, I still had the daytime fish and 5 of the other common fish left. Here are my results of one hour (at night) in the Proving Grounds in Kun-Lai Summit.

Of the 5 remaining common fish, I got 3. I got multiples of 2 of them.
Siluro discreto ×4
Ballenita pequeñita ×2
Eperlano invisible

I got one each of 4 fish that I had already found.
Gobio viajero
Faucengañosa
Pez cebra camuflado
Pez lunar esquivo

Here are the non-achievement standard fish that I got.
Biajaiba ×70
Pez colmillo frenético ×50
Salmón de medianoche ×10

And I got a couple gray armor vendor trash items.
Cinturón de pellejo rajado
Cinturón de placas quebradas

That's a total of 11 achievement fish during the hour, averaging about 1 every 5 minutes. However, they seemed to come mostly in clumps, getting several only a few bubbles apart.

I'm not sure if Proving Grounds is statistically the very best place to do this, but it's a flat, clear, mob-free area, and not a "special fish" area, so it's great for focusing on any final common fish that you're missing.

Comentario de Panndemonium

I don't know if I was just lucky or maybe my strategy worked, so i would like other people to try it out and see how it goes. It took me around 8-9 hours the finish the whole achievement. I don't know if thats fast but a lot of people say that they farmed for hours for some specific fish and that was not the case with me. First I farmed all the fishes that are specific to an area, and I was left with 5 "common" fishes + the one that only spawns during the day. My strategy was to never stay too long on one place. Maximum I stayed at one place was 30 minutes, and usually when I stayed that long I didn't really catch any new fish I needed. I caught most of my fishes in Pandaria, but thats also where I spend most of my time looking for "common" fishes.

So I read a lot of comments here that give coordinates for different places and I switched my place every 10-20 minutes. A lot of people under those comments say that they were trying for hours/days at xy place and when they switched to some place stated in a comment here they got their needed fish in a few casts/minutes. And since those fish are not region specific, it might not be that the area where they got it is magical, but maybe because they switched to a new place they had a higher chance to catch a new fish they needed.

Here are some of the places where I was catching my "common" fishes (all of those places where mentined somewhere in comments here):
Jade Forest 40 40
Jade Forest 38 5
Kun-Lai Summit 75 68
Borean Tundra 68 47
Dalaran (Broken Isles) - floating island behinde the bank near fishing fountin (I personally wasnt really lucky there)
Proving Grounds (instanced) - I wasnt lucky there
Nagrand (Outland) - floating island 71 68

Nothing I said here is a fact and I have no idea if this works, but this is just how I got my achievement so it's worth a try. Hopefully my strategy works for other people, too.

I tried to do the Dalaran (Broken Isles) floating island trick for the 'while dead' fish and failed completely at it because I was in Northrend (lol), but I found out that the drainage pipe that leads out below the Dalaran Sewers from Cantrip & Crows worked really well. Two spawn points (forward and back) and a nice dark rock background to make the bubbles easy to see. I stood roughly at 'spawn distance' from the end of the pipe on a little rise that lets you see a good ways in either direction.

Comentario de HavenCeles

Just a note. Wearing these on Margoss' Retreat in Broken Shore Dalaran will not only spawn the random fish, but, it will also spawn the Fountain Goldfish and coins that can be fished out of the Dalaran Fountain.

Also, for the dead fish (Spiritual Salmon, Deadeye Wally, Quiet Floater, Veiled Ghost) I dropped my toon to his death on Margoss' Retreat (Broken Shore Dalaran) and then dropped his ghost into the ocean ( /way 45,61 ). There is a large expanse of flat ocean floor just to the northeast of the island. I got all of my dead fishies there without any problem. You can see the fish globes fine and they sit right on the ocean floor. I just kind of stayed in the middle and kept looking around before swimming to the globes that spawned.

Comentario de bbking2424

This is a quick summary guide with multiple players reports mixed in, plus some of my thoughts. The purpose of my guide is the help maximize your time so that you can get the achievement sooner than later. Starting out, obviously make sure you have completed part 1, by having the Gafas de peces secretos and know how to use them. The googles spawn small bubbles around you in a semi-circular area and must be clicked before despawning; which typically is about 20-25 secs after spawning (no actual fishing required in this whole madness). Flat clear areas are always best to see them quickly. If you can't find one, another will respawn approx. 5 secs after the other despawns. You should read Kiingy's guide and start off with the zone specific fish ALWAYS. When doing so save Pez de cuentos de jade as the last fish to catch in this grouping (more below). Many fish in the zone specific are insta-catch when clicking the correct bubble... like Solla escuálida, Rondador del pozo.. while I cannot 100% confirm these are insta catch it appears from reports that when clicking the specific bubble you will get them instantly. To find the correct spot click on that fish in the super thread and use TomTom & Paste waypoints gotten from top comments within each fish to get the correct locations.

Now to why Pez de cuentos de jade is last on the zone specific list. One it is because hopefully by now you've already gotten some non-zone specific fish when farming zone specific fish. But also, it is because for some odd reason in the crazy RNG Blizz world the Jade Forest in Pandaria and clicking bubbles in this zone offers 2 fish ALWAYS. Sometimes they will be common white, but you will get 2, and when you get a Pez de cuentos de jade... you will get another rare. The other rare will be random within the non-zone specific fish. You can also get a Cajón sellado which can contain MOP items to sell on the AH. When farming, you can get a non zone specific fish anywhere in the world, but farming in the Jade Forest will always give you an extra fish for free so it is a great spot to finish farming the remaining of the non-zone specific fish left on your list. As far a deleting fish in your bag as some people have stated, my testing shows that you should only be deleting the Pez de cuentos de jade as it may help to respawn that double catch once more. Also this fishy seems to be pretty easy to get... it comes up approx. every 10 clicks on average.

Pez lunar esquivo will be the last fish many players catch UNLESS you are farming at night. It seems to me that the Absorbesol dorado is easier to catch, but still somewhat rare as well. Interesting to note is that if you catch either of these fish in the Jade Forest it is the only 2 fish that will not spawn doubles.. odd. As far as the time aspect, we only have a lot of speculation, but it does appear that it goes by server or realm time and not local time. That being said I do believe the times are from 8pm - 8am and not 9:30pm - 8am. This is only a speculation and don't take it as truth. These fish will be the hardest and Pez lunar esquivo seems by most accounts to be the rarest of the rare. Note that no item cheesery will make it night time, and I don't believe any reports of players catching outside these time zones. It looking like night in an area doesn't help, only actually being night via the time stamps is unfortunately all that matters. You will never catch an Pez lunar esquivo in the middle of the day and vice versa. That being said, there maybe a slight overlap in timing of 30min to 1hour to where you can catch both. If you catch both in a single bubble please go buy a lottery ticket!

Final notes are these... outside of the double fish farming in Jade Forest, it 'APPEARS' to me that certain locations are more favorable to farming these fish than others. Any location that is zone specific seems to have higher drop chances for non-zone specific fish, but this is very hard to confirm. But I don't believe anything improves your chances of catching an Pez lunar esquivo or Absorbesol dorado. Also, I've had a lot of luck in Pandaria as a whole, in Tanaris right outside the Caverns of Time, Tol Barad, and Nagrand Floating Isles. It isn't to state that these locations are better, outside of the Pez de cuentos de jade location which IS objectively better, but it does appear to me that when you're in an area for a while with no luck and then move back to a different zone specific area, suddenly your luck improves. I recommend NOT clearing your bags of non-zone specific fish as I caught more duplicates of non-needed fish when doing so, but do delete the zone specific fish as it takes longer to get them again when you have them in your bag. Remember once you've caught a fish that part is logged, the fish itself is not needed to finalize the achievement.

Hopefully this guide helps you catch them faster.

Comentario de Averdynne

If your faction is in control of Tol Barad - go into the instance and kill the bosses; use one of their cells are your room and just walk around in a circle in the middle. I got duplicates of many of the rares within 15 minutes.

Comentario de Toenail

just got goggles and here are the results from the first hour. (in valdrakken on a small ledge on the seat of the aspects)

Invisible smelt (x3)
travelling goby (x2)
inconspicuous catfish (x2)
deceptive maw (x1)
collectable saltfin (x2)
unseen mimmic (x2)
elusive moonfish (x1) 9:30-10:30 PM central

the only regular fish i got were all bfa fish. idk if that is normal.

i did it on my druid, i was able to loot a couple errant spawns that were in mid-air while in flightform. I would do it on normal flying mounts if i wasn't a druid. having to fly a short distance away to make them spawn that often, would probably have a DF mount run out of gas.

Comentario de Kelwinn

Just caught the Moonfish at 7:30 PM server time and 10:30 EST.

Was going for the sunfish so it appears the switch is local time? or it starts way sooner than 9:30 server.
