How to steal a fish and get it home

Enter only when the shield is down, carry the fish home, and expect knockback to cancel the steal.

Stealing is a carry, not a teleport. You only move a fish into your collection after you haul it across your own base line.

When you can take a fish

  1. Watch a house whose blue force field has dropped. The free shield is 60 seconds before rebirth bonuses.
  2. Walk in. The Invisible Cape pass, listed at 799 Robux, hides you while you do this. It does not open a shield that is still up.
  3. Press E on a fish that does not have the Unstealable mutation and is not inside the Fish Vault.
  4. Carry it home. The fish slows you down, so the owner can catch you.
  5. Cross your own base boundary so the fish takes an empty pad and starts paying you.

What stops the carry

  • A live force field blocks the doorway.
  • Unstealable fish cannot be picked up. That mutation is listed at a 7.5 percent river roll. Guides also say some group or Robux copies are born unstealable. A Robux Evil Bloop is described as unstealable, while a non-Robux Evil Bloop can be stolen.
  • Vault fish are not on the raid floor.
  • Slaps and guns knock the carrier back and drop the fish before delivery. The owner does not have to reach their pad. They only have to break the carry.

Choosing a target

Take a rebirth ingredient you still need, or a flat earner stronger than your current best. A percent fish is worth less if you do not already own a strong flat anchor. Leave common filler unless you are on Rebirth 1 or 2 and that species is the recipe.

If the shield returns while you are inside, finish or drop the carry. Standing in a shielded house is not a documented way to phase the fish out.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you actually do in Steal A Fish?

Fish come out of a tunnel and travel a river conveyor. Press E to buy one with cash. It walks to an empty pad in your house and generates cash every second. Step on the green floor button to claim that cash. Other players can carry a fish away if your force field is down and the fish is not Unstealable.

Does rebirth delete the whole base?

Written guides current through October 19, 2026 say a rebirth removes only the cash and the exact fish named on that level. The rest of the aquarium stays. One July 2025 play video described a wider loss of stolen fish, so confirm the checklist on the Rebirth button before you confirm.

Why do some fish not show a flat cash-per-second number?

A percent fish pays a share of your single best flat-income fish. Hungry Deer is listed at 150 percent, The Moon at 160 percent, and Cthulhu at 250 percent. If that flat anchor is sold, stored in the vault, or stolen, every percent fish drops with it.

Where is the Fish Vault and does it make money?

The Fish Vault is on the top floor after a late rebirth. Fish inside cannot be stolen, and they also stop generating cash. Use it for rebirth ingredients and prizes, and leave your best flat earner on a normal pad.
