Income with every mutation
Mutations multiply base income, so the same mutation is worth wildly different amounts on different pets. Here is what each one is actually worth on Catfish.
| Mutation | Multiplier | Income / sec | Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| None | 1× | $12 | — |
| Silver | 1.25× | $15 | +$3 |
| Bloom | 1.5× | $18 | +$6 |
| Golden | 2× | $24 | +$12 |
| Rainbow | 2.5× | $30 | +$18 |
| Spirit Bloom | 3× | $36 | +$24 |
Size stacks on top of these. Full mutation sourcing is on the mutations page, and the income calculator lets you combine both.
How to get Catfish
Catfish hatches from eggs stolen in the Lake biome. That biome needs 900 Speed to enter, and the Swan patrols it.
The listed requirement is an entry floor, not a safe margin. Guardians chase, and carrying a large egg slows you down on the way home, so aim for roughly 2.3K before attempting a real run. Work out how long that takes from your current Speed →
Where it sits
Every size and mutation combination
Two Catfish are almost never worth the same amount. Size and mutation stack, so the spread between the worst and best version of this one pet runs from $9/s to $72/s — a factor of 8.
| Size | None | Silver | Bloom | Golden | Rainbow | Spirit Bloom |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny0.75× | $9 | $11.25 | $13.50 | $18 | $22.50 | $27 |
| Normal1× | $12 | $15 | $18 | $24 | $30 | $36 |
| Large1.5× | $18 | $22.50 | $27 | $36 | $45 | $54 |
| Huge2× | $24 | $30 | $36 | $48 | $60 | $72 |
Mutation multipliers are sourced and listed on the mutations page. The size multipliers are approximations — the game confirms larger pets earn more but does not publish the curve, so treat the size axis as a comparison aid rather than exact figures. This is the same caveat that applies everywhere on this site: where we are estimating, we say so.
How fast Catfish pays for things
Income only matters relative to what you are saving for. Running one unmutated Catfish at default size, and nothing else:
| To bank | Takes | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| $1K | 1 minute | within a single session |
| $1M | 23 hours 8 minutes | inside a day of idle time |
| $1B | 2 years 7 months | long enough that you should be earning elsewhere too |
| $1T | 2642 years 5 months | long enough that you should be earning elsewhere too |
Pets earn while you are offline, so these are wall-clock times rather than play time. A full pen multiplies them down — put your actual line-up into the income calculator for the real figure.
Every Uncommon pet compared
Rarity is a poor guide to income on its own — the Uncommon band alone spans $8/s to $18/s. Here is where Catfish actually sits among them.
Catfish sits 2 of 3 in this band — $18/s separates the top of the tier from the bottom. The tier list ranks every pet by income regardless of rarity, which is usually the more useful ordering.
