The Aurora Update in Fish It adds a random Aurora weather event with five new Aurora fish, a glowing Aurora mutation, a new secret fish hunt, a duck race reward, outfit swapping, and trading menu upgrades, but several exact rates and names need to be treated as unconfirmed.
Aurora appears naturally at random, so the practical route is to use the server browser, search for Aurora, and join a server where the event is already active before spending your best luck boosts. The update is worth checking beyond fishing too, since it also adds a duck race, saved outfit swapping, a cleaner trading menu, and a reported pet-skin luck bonus.
First priorities in the Aurora Update
Start by finding an active Aurora server. The event cannot currently be triggered with purchasable weather items, so waiting in a random server is slower than using the server browser and searching for Aurora.
Once you are in, focus on the event collection first: the five new Aurora fish, the Aurora mutation, and any high-luck window you can use for the new secret fish. After that, try the duck race near Stingray Island and check the new outfit and trading menus so you know where the quality-of-life changes live.
Search the server browser for Aurora before grinding; the event is random, and joining an active server gives you more time with the event fish and mutation rolls.
Aurora fish and mutation effects
| Aurora addition | What it does | Where/how to get it | Verification note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aurora Butterfly Fish | New Aurora event fish | Fish during active Aurora weather | Shown in the ocean index; exact spawn spot unconfirmed |
| Aurora Manatee | New Aurora event fish | Fish during active Aurora weather | Ocean index fish, with outside-ocean catches reported |
| Aurora Gooper | New Aurora event fish | Fish during active Aurora weather | Exact rate is not confirmed |
| Aurora Narwhal | New Aurora event fish | Fish during active Aurora weather | Part of the five-fish Aurora set |
| Aurora Starfish | New Aurora event fish | Fish during active Aurora weather | Listed with the Aurora event fish |
| Aurora Mutation | Adds a colorful northern-lights glow to fish | Catch fish while Aurora is active | Luck and mutation bonuses appear likely, but exact percentage is unconfirmed |
The update adds five Aurora fish to the ocean index: Aurora Butterfly Fish, Aurora Manatee, Aurora Gooper, Aurora Narwhal, and Aurora Starfish. Event though they appear in the ocean index, players have reported catching them outside the ocean while Aurora is active, so the weather itself seems more important than one fixed spot.
The Aurora Mutation is the visual prize of the event. Fish with it glow in bright, northern-lights-style colors, which makes even common catches stand out and makes larger fish look much more dramatic. The event also appears to increase mutation chances and provide a luck bonus, but no exact Fish It percentage should be treated as final yet.
Caustic Maw secret fish hunt
The new secret fish is currently the rarest chase in the update. It is being treated as the new lava basin secret, replacing the previous secret found there, so most players hunting it are spending their serious sessions around that area.
The name is also unsettled in early player chatter. Caustic Maw is the safer spelling from Fish It-specific update listings, while some early recaps call it Caustic Moth. Until the in-game index and trading listings settle it clearly, avoid overpaying based on one spelling alone.
Visually, the secret is described as a large, dark fish with multiple glowing eyes and bright effects, strong enough to stand out even without a mutation. That makes it a collector target as much as a rarity flex.
Duck race location and Flamingo bobber
The new duck race is near Stingray Island and needs at least two players before it starts. It is a break from normal fishing, with a route that sends you around the island through bridges, caves, and newly added rock pads.
Winning the race rewards the Flamingo bobber skin. It is a cosmetic reward rather than a fish, but it is still one of the update’s cleanest guaranteed targets because it depends on winning the race instead of rolling a rare catch.
Outfits, trades, and pet luck changes
| Features | What changed | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Outfit system | Saved Roblox outfits can be swapped without leaving the game | Faster changes between fishing, racing, and trading sessions |
| Appearance and rod combinations | Clothing, character appearance, rod skins, and saved avatar combinations can be changed from the outfit menu | Lets collectors match cosmetics without rebuilding looks manually |
| Trading menu | Trade history, request controls, enable/disable options, friends-only, and everyone requests now sit in one place | Makes rare-item trading easier to audit and reduces unwanted requests |
| Duck race reward | Winning near Stingray Island gives the Flamingo bobber skin | Adds a clear cosmetic goal outside fishing |
| New pet skin | Fiery pet skin with animations and a reported about 50% more luck claim | Could be strong for rare fish if confirmed, but should not be priced as guaranteed yet |
The non-fishing side of the Aurora Update is mostly about reducing friction. You can now swap saved Roblox outfits from inside Fish It, manage trades from a dedicated menu, and chase a new pet skin that early players say may affect luck.
The pet skin is the most uncertain side addition. Early testing points to roughly 50% more luck, but that bonus has not been fully confirmed, so treat it as promising rather than proven.
Confusing Aurora claims to ignore
Do not mix Fish It with Grow a Garden 2. That game’s Aurora content revolves around farming systems such as crop mutations, a Bear pet, and the Venom Spitter seed, which are not Fish It fishing instructions.
Also keep Fisch and Steal A Fish separate. Fisch Aurora numbers, including claims like x9 luck or tiny natural-weather percentages, belong to a different game and should not be copied into Fish It routes.
For Fish It, the unclear points are the exact Aurora luck percentage, the real secret fish odds, the final Caustic Maw versus Caustic Moth naming, and specific spawn locations beyond the lava basin focus. The Admin Event Fish, OG Island, Dark Megalodon, and the new bundle are part of the same broader update chatter, but their exact connection to Aurora fishing procedures is not confirmed here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you trigger the Aurora event with an item?
No. Aurora appears naturally at random on servers, and there is no confirmed purchasable weather item that triggers it. Use the server browser, search for Aurora, and join a server where the event is already active.
What are all the new Aurora fish?
The five new Aurora event fish are Aurora Butterfly Fish, Aurora Manatee, Aurora Gooper, Aurora Narwhal, and Aurora Starfish.
Where should you fish for the new secret fish?
Focus on the lava basin, especially during high-luck windows or while using luck boosts. Treat that as the best current target area, not a guaranteed final spawn rule.
Is the secret fish called Caustic Moth or Caustic Maw?
Caustic Maw is the safer current spelling from Fish It-specific update listings, but some early player recaps call it Caustic Moth. Check the in-game index or trade listing before making high-value trades around it.
What does the Aurora mutation do?
The Aurora Mutation gives fish a colorful northern-lights-style glow. The Aurora event also appears to improve mutation chances and provide a luck bonus, but the exact percentage is not confirmed.
