Fish Frenzy Update: 13–19 October 2026

A huge week: a new way to collect fish, a lobby you swim around in, and every one of the 50 newer fish rebuilt from scratch.

Fish Eggs

Fish now come from eggs instead of Treasure Nets, so a single run gives you far more rolls and merging is actually reachable.

  • Every 50 food points you eat lays an egg (a small pellet is 5 points). Kills add 2 or more bonus eggs, up to 50 for big prey.
  • All your eggs hatch when the run ends, in a grid of cards showing each fish's rarity and tier.
  • Bigger runs hatch luckier, up to ×3 luck at 300,000 mass.
  • Offline eggs: after 5 minutes away you earn an egg every 2 minutes, for up to 8 hours.
  • Skip on the hatch reveal is a one-time unlock: buy it once and it's free for good.

Eggs slow down as your Fishdex fills. You earn at full speed for your first 15 Fishdex entries, then more slowly: half speed at 75 entries, and never below 25%. You still get one egg per full bar; the bar just takes longer to fill. Egg packs from the shop aren't affected.

Upgrades and Boosts

Coins and pearls had very few uses, so the Shop has two new tabs.

Upgrades (coins), kept for good:

  • Egg Rate: +10% eggs per level
  • Hatch Luck: +5% luck per level
  • Magnet: +10% food pickup range per level
  • Long Nap: +1 hour of offline eggs per level
  • Head Start: +150 starting mass per level

Boosts:

  • 2x Eggs (60 pearls) and 2x Luck (80 pearls), 15 minutes each. The timer only runs while you're swimming, and buying again adds more time.
  • Egg Basket: 25 eggs for 2,500 coins.
  • Golden Eggs: 10 eggs at ×5 luck for 50 pearls.

A lobby you can swim in

Between runs you now swim around a walled reef as your own fish, instead of sitting on a menu screen. It's a safe area: nothing can eat you. Swim into the glowing whirlpool to start a run.

On 19 October the lobby grew into a central hub with five areas around it:

  • Prize Lagoon: Spin, Daily Rewards and Free
  • Shop Reef: Shop and Upgrades
  • Hall of Fame: the three leaderboards, each with a gold, silver and bronze podium where the top 3 players' avatars dance
  • Egg Hatchery
  • Fish Cove: My Fish and the Fishdex

A signpost at spawn, glowing arrows along the paths and floating area names show the way. Tall cliffs hide the map beyond, and the lobby has a softer, darker look that fades when you dive in.

50 fish rebuilt in Blender

The 50 newer fish are now proper 3D models made in Blender, in the same style as the original ten. No block-built fish are left, so all 60 fish match. The new fish were also being squashed to fit the old block sizes; they now keep their real shapes, which makes them a bit bigger in the water.

300 merge skins and Merge All

Every merge tier now has its own look on all 60 fish: Shiny (gold), Crystal (ice), Rainbow, Shadow (with glowing eyes) and Cosmic (starry). That's 300 new skins, shown in the water, in the Fishdex and in the hatch reveal. The Crystal look was redone on 19 October with bold blue shards, because the first version was almost see-through on the sand.

The new Merge All button in the Fishdex merges everything it can, all the way up the tiers. For example, 123 Goldfish become 3 Normal, 2 Shiny and 1 Crystal.

Keep Size

The death screen now offers Keep Size, paid in pearls: it respawns you at the size you died at. It's offered for 60 seconds after dying with 500 mass or more, and the price grows with your size, from 22 pearls at 8K mass to 300 pearls at about 1.4M.

Fairer runs

  • Spawn shield: newly spawned fish can't be eaten for 3 seconds.
  • Kills pay coins and XP again, and eating a player pays double.
  • Your run payout now counts every bite and kill, not just your peak mass.

Bigger rewards

  • Levelling up pays 25 × your level in coins. Every 5th level adds 15 pearls, and every 10th adds a spin.
  • Weekly quests pay 5× as much: they took far more work than dailies but paid the same.
  • Achievement rewards scale up more steeply through their tiers, with pearls from tier 3.
  • Joining the group now also gives you a free Epic fish.

Fixes

  • Playtime gifts could be farmed by rejoining. Each gift is now once per day, and time played before a rejoin still counts.
  • The free spin timer no longer resets when you rejoin.
  • Buying a boost while one is running now adds the time instead of replacing it.
  • Quests like "Eat players" and "Travel" kept counting only until your first death. They now count through respawns.
  • Fish from codes now reach your collection.
  • Pressing Tab kept popping the leaderboard back open. It now stays closed.
  • Kill streak messages no longer cover the "+EGGS" pop-ups.
  • The crown sits above your fish's tier name, and name tags no longer show through walls.
  • The coins and buttons in the lobby moved down so Roblox's chat window doesn't cover them.
  • Seven of the newest fish were missing their stats in the fish menu.
