Palia invites you to explore a large open world divided into two main locations, Bahari Bay and Kilima Valley. In each of them, players can find water bodies with various fish. But like we said, you need to know where to look to find a particular species. Luckily, some fish are quite common in Palia, such as the Fathead Minnow.

Fathead Minnow is a common fish that spawns in rivers and lakes in Bahari Bay. It can be caught at any time of the day, so you can go fishing at your convenience. And to find Fathead Minnow in Palia, we recommend that you visit these areas:

  • Lake south of Tamala’s house
  • Lake near Central Stables
  • The river under the bridge in the Proudhorn Pass location
  • River flowing from Thorny Thicket to Statue Garden

How To Catch Fathead Minnow

Before you go to the areas described above, you need to prepare. Even though the Fathead Minnow is a common fish, it will not bite on a hook. Therefore, you need to stock up on Glow Worms to catch Fathead Minnow in Palia. It is the best bait in the game, so getting it at the beginning of the game is quite hard:

  • Grow them at Glow Worm Farms
  • Buy them from the Fishing Guild Store
  • Get them from Zeki’s Wondrous Machine

After that, go fishing in Bahari Bay. When you arrive at the pond, select Glow Worm as bait and cast your line. It is worth noting that it may take you several attempts to catch Fathead Minnow. Nevertheless, the best fish in the game are also like Glow Worm, so you can get some really rare besides Fathead Minnow.

That’s all you need to know about how to find and catch Fathead Minnow in Palia. This fish is quite common, so you can earn a lot of Gold from it. In the meantime, take a look at our guide on how to complete A Bouquet of Sunshine.
