The Glacierfish Jr. is the son of the Glacierfish, the Legendary Fish of Winter. It belongs to the special set of Legendary Fish that appears only during Mr. Qi's "Extended Family" quest. It shares its father's home off Arrowhead Island, his sell price and his hard, restless fight. Unlike the original, it bites in every season, and more than one can be caught while the quest runs. It also asks for one more Fishing level than its father, so it is worth preparing a food buff before the quest begins.

Catching

The Glacierfish Jr. can only be hooked while the "Extended Family" special order is active. Mr. Qi offers the quest in Qi's Walnut Room on Ginger Island. Once it is accepted, there are three days to catch the Glacierfish Jr. and each of its legendary relatives. The reward for finishing is 20 Qi Gems.

During the quest, the fish waits in the same place as the Glacierfish. Head to Arrowhead Island, the small island in the river in the south of Cindersap Forest. Stand on the southernmost tip of the island and cast south. The bobber must land in deep water, at least three tiles from any land. Season and weather no longer matter, so the quest can be finished in Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter alike.

Fishing level 7 is required, one level more than the original Glacierfish needs. A food buff counts towards that level, so a farmer at level 6 can still make the attempt with the right meal. The chance of a bite on each cast matches the original's.

The fight itself is just as hard. The Glacierfish Jr. has mixed behaviour and a difficulty of 100. It moves often and without a clear pattern, so the green bar needs constant small corrections. An Iridium Rod with a Cork Bobber or a Trap Bobber gives the best odds. The Cork Bobber makes the green bar larger, while the Trap Bobber slows the meter when the fish slips out. Lobster Bisque is a strong food choice, since it raises Fishing and Max Energy together.

Because the quest lasts only three days, plan the route before accepting it. The other relatives live in the Pelican Town river, the Mountain Lake, The Beach and The Sewers.

Prices

The Glacierfish Jr. sells for the same price as the Glacierfish. Iridium quality doubles that price, and the Fisher and Angler professions add a quarter or a half on top. A Fish Smoker doubles the value again while keeping the quality, so a smoked iridium Glacierfish Jr. sells for 4,000g before professions.

Since more than one can be caught during a single quest, extras can be sold or smoked without giving up a trophy. A Fish Pond can hold a single Glacierfish Jr. and can never be enlarged. On almost half of all days, it produces Glacierfish Jr. Roe worth 530g each, sometimes several at once. A Preserves Jar turns the roe into Aged Roe worth 1,060g.

Uses

Its main purpose is the "Extended Family" quest. Like any fish, it also counts for Sashimi, Maki Roll and Quality Fertilizer, but that wastes almost all of its value. In the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house, it serves as a blue dye.

Gifts

The Glacierfish Jr. is not a welcome present. The older residents Demetrius, Linus and Pam count Glacierfish Jr. as a neutral gift. Willy and Leo feel neutral about it too. The same goes for the bachelors Elliott and Sebastian.

The older residents Caroline, George, Jodi, Kent and Lewis count Glacierfish Jr. as a disliked gift. The Dwarf, Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard dislike it too, and so do Clint, Gus, Marnie and Robin. The same goes for Jas and Vincent, and for Abigail, Alex, Emily, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam and Shane.

Evelyn, Haley and Pierre hate it.

Notes

Reach Fishing level 7, or carry a buff that gets there, before accepting the quest. Keep one Glacierfish Jr. for a Fish Pond and smoke the extras for quick money.
