Reef Minnow guide

Reef Minnow is the small end of Grand Reef: a Common fish that, per the in-game text, swims in tight groups near coral and darts between branches when threatened. You need Seaweed bait for it. It weighs 0.1 to 0.6 kg, averages 0.2 kg, and sells at C$140 per kg, which is only about C$29 per fish. It grants 98 base XP.

Its value is low even by the standard of cheap fish. The average value ranks 702nd of the 742 documented fish, and its maximum weight is 641st of 663. Nothing here is a reason to hunt it for profit.

What it does have is a decent XP figure for something so light, and that is the honest case for it: if you fish Grand Reef for levels, the 98 XP per catch adds up faster than the coin does. Coral Chromis is the other Common fish listed in the same zone, so you will be reeling in a few similar low-value catches either way.

My advice is to sell the minnows you net while you wait for something better, and do not switch your whole setup to Seaweed just for them. If Reef Parrotfish or another Coral-bait catch is your goal, the bait choice matters more than this fish does.
