Gemscale Mandarinfish guide

Gemscale Mandarinfish is a modest Uncommon on Treasure Island. It bites on Mist Worms, weighs 4 kg to 23.1 kg (7.5 kg average), and at about C$61.8 per kg an average catch sells for C$463.6. That ranks 402nd of the 742 documented fish by value.

Weight is its better side: the 23.1 kg maximum is 385th of 663. Base XP is 340, which is the number to keep in mind if you are leveling.

The two fish that share its zone and rarity are Gem Eel and Goldband Butterflyfish, so most Uncommon bites on the island come from one of those three. The Treasure Rod is the rod sold in the area.

Verdict: you will land it sometimes, but its value per catch is on the low side for a fish that needs a specific bait. If you are choosing bait for Treasure Island, Mist Worms are worth carrying only if you want this fish in particular, for example to complete your collection. Otherwise sell it when it appears and move on to a better catch.
