Catch a Sturgeon
While waiting for your Fish Pond to be built, you can hunt for a sturgeon to cultivate at the pond. If you are playing co-op with someone, you could try to ask them first if they caught any sturgeon to save you time.

Place the Sturgeon in the Fish Pond
After catching a sturgeon, you can now add it to an empty Fish Pond. You can only add one sturgeon at the start. However, the pond’s capacity will increase every time you give the item that the sturgeon requests.
Every few days, the sturgeon in the pond will request items for their population to grow. These are the things that you need to prepare to give to the sturgeons:
- 1 Diamond
- 1 Jelly, 2 Maple Syrup, or 1 Pickles
- 3 Omni Geode
- 1 Nautilus Shell
