Overview
Tropical fish exist in thousands of colour, pattern and shape combinations, of which twenty-two have their own names such as clownfish and cichlid; the rest are randomly generated. Mechanically they are just decoration and axolotl food: a bucket of tropical fish is what you breed axolotls with. They swim in small schools, scatter from players, and cannot be cooked into anything useful.
Tropical Fish is a passive mob in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. You will need to deal 3 damage — 1.5 hearts — to kill one. It is worth 3 XP.
