2. Check Shadow Size

You'll need to check the shadow size of the fish that appeared and make sure it's similar to the Stringfish.

Stringfish Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"OH MY GOSH! I caught a stringfish! Five more and I'll have a guitarfish!"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The stringfish grows slowly, but also lives quite a long time for a fish, with up to 15 years being typical.

  Consequently, while it takes a while, they can get quite large—perhaps even up to six feet long!

  The stringfish is perhaps the best embodiment in the fish world of 'slow and steady wins the race.'
