Tropical fish appear mostly white

I like the idea that you have to go out and put effort into finding fish with two colors instead of being able to spawn them from spawn eggs.  I have spent days hunting for two colored fish in the wild and it is totally worth it!

I don’t consider it a problem but rather a way to make people work for what they want. I hope only colored/white fish always come out of spawn eggs so that people will go out and hunt for colorful fish, like I do. It’s incredibly rewarding!

This IS an issue @Crash that makes no sense.

It is not an issue! The the colorful fish are STILL in the game. You just have to work long and hard to find them in the wild. They are RARE fish that you have to put EFFORT into finding in the wild. I have built massive tanks just to keep all the rare colored fish I have found. If doing actual work to acquire something you want is an ‘issue’ to you, then I don’t know what to tell ya.

The colorful tropical fish can only be found in the wild and can not be spawned by creative spawn eggs. All fish spawned by spawn eggs will be common (a color/white). Colorful tropical fish consisting of two colors (other than having white as the second color) are VERY RARE. You have to put forth a lot of effort into finding them in order to acquire them but once you do it’s incredibly satisfying. First you need to hunt for a large coral reef, then you need to search every inch of it, sometimes having to go over areas again and again. This process can take hours or even days in real play time. I suggest you go around killing the common fish because other fish will spawn to take their place. You will probably end up killing millions of fish just to see if a rare one has spawned. Once you find a rare one, I suggest you catch it in a bucket and continue searching in that general area. Rare fish tend to spawn in the same small area of the reef so don’t travel far! You then need to keep killing the common fish and hope more rare ones show up. If done correctly you can get dozens of brightly colored rare fish to catch in buckets! I’ve spent days doing this technique and I have caught hundreds of rare colorful tropical fish by being patient and determined. You can do the same.
