Tropical Fish

Tropical fish are common passive aquatic mobs in Minecraft, found in oceans, mangrove swamps, and lush caves. They are highly diverse, with 2,700 naturally occurring variants in Bedrock Edition and 3,072 in Java Edition, varying in color and shape. These fish can be caught with a water bucket and used for aquarium or decoration purposes. Tropical fish are not directly edible but can be used to feed axolotls. Their primary uses are decorative and collectible, adding visual diversity to the game world. Additionally, they are a component in crafting potions of water breathing. Despite their diversity, their function in the game is primarily aesthetic and for display.
