Learn where to get all fishing rods, what fish are needed to buy them, and which region they're best used for in our guide:
How to Get All Fishing Rods
There are currently two categories for Fish: regular fish and Ornamental Fish. There are also a handful of Fish species: Rays, Medakas, Sticklebacks, Angelfish, Koi, and Pufferfish.
Ornamental Fish are rarer than regular fish, and are used to decorate your Serenitea Pot. You also won't find these fish in your material bag, because they'll be in your Furnishing bag!
All fish have Ornamental versions, and you have around a 10 - 15% chance to catch an Ornamental version of a fish!
List of All Fish Types & Info
Fish can either be used as Fishing Association currency, decorations for the Serenitea Pot, or a way to get Fish Meat quickly!

The Furnishing Blueprint for the Pool of Sapphire Grace can be obtained from the Fishing Association for 10 Medaka. Here, you can raise Ornamental Fish you've caught in Teyvat.
How to Get the Pool of Sapphire Grace
Fish can be processed into Fish Meat for cooking! Just walk up to any type of stove, go to the Food Processing tab, and select the Fish icon.
See Fish Meat Guide & Recipes
Fish take 3 days to spawn. If you've emptied out all of your Fishing Spots, check again in 3 days to fish for more!
You can also just visit another Traveler's world to bag some Fish, but remember to be polite and ask them first! Here are our Co-Op boards if you want to make some fishing buddies:

Don't worry—you won't be stuck if you run out of the free bait from the Exploding Population quest. You'll have the recipe for Fruit Paste Bait, so use a crafting table to make some and catch more Medaka.
Use the Medaka you catch to buy more bait recipes from the Mondstadt Fishing Association. Each bait recipe only costs 3 Medaka, so it should be pretty easy!
Fishing Association Items & Locations
If you caught a fish but can't find it in your material bag, then it's most likely an Ornamental Fish. They show up in your Furnishing inventory, with other living types of Furnishing.
Ornamental Fish are rarer than regular fish, but can only be used for decoration with a Pool of Sapphire Grace or Shaded Clarity.
