Steal Fish Eggs Best Fish to Keep
Keep the highest $/s you can defend. Replace everything else.
“Best fish” in Steal Fish Eggs means highest income you can steal, hatch, and hold. It does not mean the rarest adjective on a YouTube title. This page is the keep-or-sell partner to the fish index and the fish tier list.
Starter keepers
Your first hatches are whatever near-water nests give you. Keep all of them until the tank is full. Then replace the worst $/s every time a new egg pops. That single habit is the difference between Grey Trail in ten minutes and Grey Trail in an hour. Getting Started times this as the first session.
Do not lock your identity to the first fish. It is a battery.
Upgrade keepers
Once Blue Trail is on, you should be seeing tags that embarrass the starter batch. If a nest shows a number in the same league as the promo Jellyfish Egg $89,121Sp/s, that steal is the session. Clear a path with how to steal eggs, bank it, hatch it, and then immediately protect the tank. High-tag fish are raid magnets on 6-player servers.
If you cannot outrun the parent of that nest, it is not “the best fish.” It is a Speed homework assignment. Buy the next Trail from the trails tier list and come back.
Mutation keepers
The rainbow shark at 0.01% is the poster mutation. If you hatch anything with a wild palette or a tiny percent label, read the income, not the particle effect. A mutation that does not beat your worst slot is a clip for social media. A mutation that triples a mid fish is an A or S keeper even if the base species is unfashionable.
Sizes work the same way. Bigger can mean worse carry and better pay. If the huge egg keeps dropping, you need Speed, not a smaller egg addiction.
What is never “best”
- A fish you cannot defend because you AFK the pool with no lock.
- A fish whose egg you never bank because you fight the shark.
- A fish from a different Roblox title that a spreadsheet mixed in.
- A fish you bought with Robux if the same cash would have bought Purple Trail and ten honest hatches. Gamepasses are optional; they are not a roster.
Session ranking method
- Sort the tank by income if the UI allows it. If not, glance every slot after each hatch.
- Name a “cut line”: the worst fish you still tolerate.
- Every hatch below the cut line is gone.
- Spend the extra cash on the endless pool or the next Trail so the next steal’s cut line can rise.
That method scales into the 13 September fish drop. New creatures will land. The cut line will move. You do not need a 200-row wiki table to play correctly on patch day — you need the habit. When names stabilize, they will be listed on the fish index.
Tie-breakers
If two fish pay the same, keep the one that is harder to restole (farther nest, nastier boss) because replacing it costs more time. If they came from the same ring, keep whichever mutation you can actually see so you do not mis-click sell. Then go steal again. The biomes rings exist so you know when a “best fish” is just a near-water peak.
Best is a moving number. Chase the number.
Rare-egg clips help you recognize a mutation when the shard actually rolls one, but they do not change the cut-line rule. Watch the income tag, bank the egg, then decide. A pretty shark that pays less than your worst slot is still a sell.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common Steal Fish Eggs questions.
What fish should I keep first?
Every hatch until the tank is full, then always replace the lowest income. Starter fish are batteries for Grey and Blue Trail.
Is the rainbow shark the best fish?
It is a tiny-chance mutation in official art. If you hatch one, compare $/s like any other fish. Do not build a beginner route around 0.01%.
Should I keep a mutated fish with low income?
No. Final $/s wins. Paint does not buy Trails.
Where do I see income?
On egg world tags when visible, and on the fish after hatch. Scout before you steal if the tag is up.
