      Flying fish can be a lot of fun for a good player too, gives a challenge and making jumps at the right times is a great skill tester that feels amazing to pull of, just going "actually i can fly" is great.

      Also I prefer to speculate on what it might evolve into. Perhaps it will gain a better ability to fly. What if it diversifies into a wide group like the other 4? What if it develops a way to breath air??

      Trevally and Jack mains often can track flying fish players through the air, and the speed of the Jacks and trevally make it easy to catch them.
      Some people who main the giant trevally can even catch bird players midair.
      That often causes tons of salt as you can guess

My family was restocking a lake not too long ago and catfish were the only fish that made me genuinely nervous handling, knowing one wrong move could slit open your wrists or other uncovered parts of your body. Being able to in any way strike fear in a top tier build such as some humans has to count for something.

      (Btw I love your pfp bec I'm a Hazbin/Hell-of-a Boss fan)
      I think the real top tier builds are just the guns, sticks, spears, and sticks that are used by humans. Those objects by themselves deserve the credit for their abilities.
      We don't have any armour unless we wear armour. And not everyone can even afford armour, or spears.
      If we just decided to teleport a random human adult infront of a hungry lioness pride, or lion coalition, then the adult would stand zero chance. He or she can't even fly, or run away fast enough.

    I remember one time when I started playing the game, I was fish class and I wanted to make my friends laugh by increasing my nose size and saying “Look at my long nose!”. I thought this was silly but 3 hours later I somewhat regretted doing that. I was upgrading my strength while watching TH-cam videos because I was bored upgrading my points into strength. This video played and really helped me out! This actually helped me become a sword fish build and is pretty great because I’ve already put a lot into nose length.

    This is a pretty good tier list. The only thing I'd change is the Cleaner Wrasse. It may not seem overpowered at first, but think about it! They never get targeted and they have an excellent source of XP, which also allows them to make many allies. Cleaner Wrasse's may not pop out as much, but their only downside is the HP, which allows them to live for about 4 years which still isn't the worst. They may not have many special abillities, but they have everything they need. S tier for sure.

    My favorite fish build has to be the Giant Oarfish, but it most certainly would be in F or D tier. They have very small fins and also lack an anal fin and swim bladder, meaning they would have an incredibly low mobility stat. When they are sick, they swim all the way from the twilight zone to the surface to beach themselves. Their defense is very low as well, as they don’t come with armor, as many other fish do. However, many players decide to stay away from oarfish, as there is a rumor that their model has a weird glitch that causes natural disasters.

    Just to clarify how oppressive lionfish are, that map at 12:30 is from 2003 and very outdated.
    As of 2017, lionfish have taken over *the entire Gulf of Mexico* and can be found as far south as Brazil. Since they're invasive, local fish haven't adapted to the lionfish's hunting strategies or defenses. Pair this with a voracious appetite and watch as lionfish kill or outcompete just about every other local fish population into extinction.
    There's good news though. Scientists have found that local predators can be "taught" to recognize lionfish as food by leaving dead or wounded ones in the water. Divers and fishers are sometimes paid bounties for culling lionfish populations, and in many places entire fisheries have been established around them.

I would get up to like 75 xp just from scraps of meat, like in total it was around 12 xp per scrap of meat, but considering that I did this like 7 times in the in game day, I would get around as much xp that a salmon drops, (489-525) per day, which was good xp for a catfish. I know that bears get like 12 salmon worth of xp a day, but their high defense and high hp builds that need more xp to be able to fuel their INSANE defense stats.

    Hi everyone, there's a few things I'd like to point out with this video:
    1: I omitted a lot more than just sharks, obviously. The Grouper, the Clownfish, the Electric eel, and many others all were originally in the script but I cut them because I've already featured them in other videos and didn't want to just repeat stuff. But please do go check out other videos on my channel to find them! My video about team combos is a good place to start.
    2: The cat that gets attacked during the Pike section is fine, if you slow down the video you can see that it just gets smacked on the nose and pushed back. It didn't actually get grabbed and pulled into the water.
    3: I didn't notice how funny the clip with the piranha being eaten by the caiman was while I was purchasing the stock footage, but wow, what a clip.
    4: This video is really popping off, so I really want to emphasize how grateful I am that I get to make these videos. Thank you all so much for watching!

    Catfish definitely should be higher tier. Depending in their spawn point and how good the player is, some Catfish players have managed to unlock the giagantism trait. Also, their passive ability to live in basically mud water gives catfish players the advantage of camping through conditions other fish players would get sent back to character select for.

    I'd like to point put that one of the catfishs' greatest abilities was left out; they nabbed one of the reptile build abilities; the ability to continually grow larger throughout their lives without limit. This can lead to massive catfish tanking/ambush builds that I personally believe earn them a higher place in the meta.

    • @VillainousHanacha
      @VillainousHanacha 3 ปีที่แล้ว +103

      While it is true that catfish will just keep growing for as long as they grow older, this is not unique to the catfish guild. A lot of different fish guilds have no true upper limit on size and keep growing with age, with another notable example being bass and grouper. This ability is true for a lot of fish guilds, it's just that some guilds get better returns for it i.e. an older remora is still primarily a support class but just bigger, while an old grouper is a massive swimming tank that can eat or at least bully almost anything it comes across.
      Catfish are notable for gigantism however because the best catfish builds are freshwater ones, either obligate or they can survive some brackish conditions. Since they are generalists already (for the most part, the Mekong Giant Catfish and Candiru are specialists) and tolerant of low water quality they are great survivalists and tend to survive to old age more readily than other builds. This combined with the reduced competition and max size in fresh water servers (only massive river servers like the Amazon begin to compare with the competitive level of Ocean servers) means they can easily outstrip every other fish build around. More so than freshwater bass, it is the river monster type catfish, like the Wels Catfish, that are truly the big fish in a small pond.

      @@samgross7352 I would also say that, at least when counting specific catfish builds, they can reach A+ tier max. Even when counting all catfish averaged together as a whole (and counting other saltwater fish as well) catfish should be higher than on this list, but not by much (I would say B+, instead of mid C tier).
      I made a much longer comment before on this vid about it, but the short of it is that although catfish are excellent generalists with tanky base stats and great sensory abilities, Siluriformes as a guild is massive so not all catfish are like the Wels or Piraiba and things like the Suckermouth catfish (the largest sub-guild at 680 variant builds) bring down the average. Also the best catfish builds being freshwater and saltwater catfish being pretty unremarkable is a nock in my eyes.
      However yes, I think the overall placement is low (but not that low) and that specific catfish builds can reach much higher than the average.
