These fish are quite common in dark areas where sunlight rarely enters. They have a strong interest for Golden Bughead bait. They can be found at any time of day on any weather conditions.
Kanya will inform you that Goldenfish prefer dark areas away from the sun. The caves on the north side of Area 8 and Area 12 in the Scarlet Forest are good places to try and catch a Goldenfish, as these locations are in enclosed dark caverns which have a higher chance of spawning Goldenfish.
Goldenfish Location and How to Catch
Use Golden Bughead to Capture Goldenfish
The best bait for catching the Goldenfish is the Golden Bughead, which you can obtain at the start of this mission. You can change bait by scrolling through your item bar and selecting the Golden Bughead.
