How to make 🐠 Goldfish — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Water + Water = LakeBoth Water and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Lake first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Lake + Water = OceanOcean is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Ocean + Water = FishIf you already made Fish in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Fish + Water = FishbowlOne quick craft for Fishbowl: drag Fish onto Water and keep the result for the chain.
- Fire + Fishbowl = GoldfishFinal craft: combine Fire and Fishbowl to make Goldfish. That's the whole path — 5 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Goldfish
We rank every known recipe for Goldfish by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Fire and Fishbowl — cost 1 and 5 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 5 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
Alternative combinations for Goldfish

|---|---|
| Dandelion + Fishbowl | 6 crafts |
| Fish + Sun | 5 crafts |
| Dragon + Fishbowl | 6 crafts |
| Dust + Rainbow Trout | 8 crafts |
| Fish + Sunflower | 6 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.

Tips for crafting Goldfish
- Craft in one sitting. The 5-craft chain for Goldfish takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Ocean) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Dandelion + Fishbowl also produces Goldfish if that route fits your inventory better.
