Coopfin, the five‑star rarity that can be hauled from the Lobby or the Tidal Siege in Anime Expeditions, crowns the list of extraordinary catches.
Fish Rarity and Experience Gains
Every fish caught in Anime Expeditions grants fishing EXP, an essential factor for advancing through the game’s challenges. The higher the star rating of a fish, the more EXP it awards, so anglers focus on five‑star rarities to accelerate progression, especially during the Tidal Siege event.
Lobby and Tidal Siege Hotspots
The Lobby remains the entry point for beginners, offering a range of basic and intermediate fish. When the map transitions to the Tidal Siege, new species appear, including several that are rarely seen in earlier stages.

- Derp Fish – Lobby – ★★
- Prize Fish – Lobby, Tidal Siege – ★★

School Grounds and Flower Forest Fishes
Players venturing to the School Grounds encounter a tiered selection of fish, from single‑star pies to triple‑star wonders. Meanwhile, the Flower Forest rewards persistent anglers with a mix of rare and high‑rarity species, including a prized four‑star Clown Fish.

East Town: A Straightforward Caution
In the East Town map, anglers find a modest set of fish. The lineup caps at a trio‑star fish, balancing the simplicity of the environment with enough opportunity for level‑up rewards.
- Puffer Fish – East Town – ★
- Sword Fish – East Town – ★★★
Coopfin: The Pinnacle of the Fish Index
Coopfin stands alone at the top of the Anime Expeditions fish index with a five‑star rating. Its presence in both Lobby and Tidal Siege confirms its status as the most coveted catch, and retrieving it confirms mastery of the game’s fishing mechanics.
Fishing in Anime Expeditions therefore remains a vital mechanic: higher‑rarity fish grant higher EXP, and the ultimate trophy, Coopfin, rewards those willing to invest time and skill in every map.
