How to Get Tilapia in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Tilapia is a small fish that can be caught in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but it’s only available in specific locations and under particular conditions. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to successfully fish for tilapia and add it to your collection.

What is Tilapia?

Tilapia is a small fish often found in shallow rivers. According to the in-game description, this fish has specific habitat requirements that limit where you can catch it in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to Find Tilapia

You can only catch tilapia in two specific locations throughout all of Disney Dreamlight Valley, including in A Rift in Time:

Location 1: Frosted Heights

Tilapia can be fished in the shallow river located in the Frosted Heights area. This river is one of only two places in the entire game where you can catch this fish. Interestingly, the Forest of Valor also has a river, but tilapia cannot be caught there.

Location 2: Sunlit Plateau

The river in the Sunlit Plateau is the second location where tilapia spawns. This is your other option if you want to fish for this species.

Fishing Requirements: Blue Ripples Only

One critical requirement for catching tilapia: you can only fish them in blue ripples. You cannot catch tilapia from white or orange ripples, even in the correct locations.

What If There Are No Blue Ripples?

If you visit Frosted Heights or Sunlit Plateau and only see white or orange ripples, don’t worry. Simply fish in the white or orange ripples anyway. After a few minutes, the fishing spots will respawn, and you have a chance that a blue ripple will appear in place of the white or orange ones. Keep fishing in the non-blue ripples until a blue one spawns—this is your opportunity to catch tilapia.

Summary

To catch tilapia in Disney Dreamlight Valley, remember these key points: tilapia only spawns in two locations—Frosted Heights and Sunlit Plateau. You must fish exclusively in blue ripples to catch this fish. If blue ripples aren’t currently available, fish in the white or orange ripples and wait for them to respawn as blue. With patience and persistence, you’ll successfully add tilapia to your fishing collection.
