About this fish
A fish found only in Korea, with rows of black spots along its body. It's famous for its spawning towers: it digs into the gravel, lays its eggs and piles the gravel back up over them. It's a Natural Monument and an endangered species (class II).
Catching one for real
🌿 Protected species. In the game it is released the moment you catch it and only goes in your log. In real life it can't be caught without a permit, and if one bites by accident you must let it go at once.
As a Natural Monument and endangered species, it can't be caught without a permit. If one bites by accident, unhook it in the water and let it go. Avoid trampling the gravel riffles where it spawns.
