Waiting for the lights to go down on your planet changes what is swimming under the water. A handful of species in Petit Planet only surface after dark, and a few of them are among the most valuable catches on the board. Everything else on a night run — insects in the grass, crabs and lobsters wedged into the beach rocks — keeps paying out at Glenn’s Goods while you wait for the rarer shadows to appear.
Quick answer: Sixteen fish are night-only. Moonfish, Blue Blanquillo and Spiny Hatchetfish in coastal waters, Shadow Bass and Spined Loach in rivers, Fire Eel, Red-Spotted Loach and Redmoon Snakehead inland, plus six region exclusives.
Night-only fish available in every region
These eight appear regardless of which planet or galaxy you are tending, so they are the backbone of any evening route. The sell values below are the base figures at Glenn’s Goods.
| Fish | Habitat | Sell price |
|---|---|---|
| Redmoon Snakehead | Waterfall | 200 |
| Moonfish | Coastal Waters | 180 |
| Blue Blanquillo | Coastal Waters | 40 |
| Spiny Hatchetfish | Coastal Waters | 40 |
| Shadow Bass | River | 38 |
| Spined Loach | River | 38 |
| Fire Eel | Lowland Lake | 35 |
| Red-Spotted Loach | Mountain Lake | 35 |
The Red-Spotted Loach needs rain on top of the night window, so a clear evening at the mountain lake will not produce one.
The Moonfish is the one worth planning around. It shows up as a large shadow in coastal water and puts up a long reeling fight before it lands, and a high-grade specimen posts well above its 180 base value in the shop menu. The Redmoon Snakehead is the other headline catch, tucked into waterfall water rather than the open coast.
Night fish locked to Hexia, Taffeh and the Islets
Six more species combine a night window with a region requirement. The Islets carry most of them, and several still have unconfirmed shop values.
| Fish | Region | Habitat | Sell price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ropefish | Islets | Lowland Lake | 150 |
| Red Hind | Taffeh | Coastal Waters | 35 |
| Pink Square Anthias | Hexia | Coastal Waters | 30 |
| Bluefin Tuna | Islets | Coastal Waters | Not confirmed |
| Gray Angelfish | Islets | Coastal Waters | Not confirmed |
| Turbot | Islets | Coastal Waters | Not confirmed |
| Unicorn Sole | Islets | Coastal Waters | Not confirmed |
| River Tonguesole | Islets | Coastal Waters | Not confirmed |
Tools and casting mechanics for a night run
Three tools cover everything on the list, and you will swap between them constantly on a beach circuit.
- Fishing Rod — every river, lake, waterfall and coastal fish.
- Insect Net — beetles, ants, butterflies and fireflies in the grass.
- Shellfish Tongs — crabs, lobsters, urchins, scallops, oysters and shrimp.
Coastal fish that stay available after dark
Most of the coast runs on an all-day schedule, so the night rotation adds species rather than replacing them. These keep filling the index between Moonfish attempts.
| Fish | Base sell price |
|---|---|
| Clownfish | 32 |
| Yellowback Demoiselle | 17 |
| Bluelined Angelfish | 13 |
| Golden Threadfin Bream | 12 |
| Milkfish | 12 |
| Silver Pomfret | 12 |
| Bay Salmon | 10 |
The same beach shallows also turn up Yellowfin Seabream and Bay Salmon, which logged shop values of 19 and 28 in play. That gap between a listed base price and what the shop menu actually offers comes down to the catch’s grade — Black Tilapia, for example, carries separate 12, 13 and 16 price points depending on quality.
Fireflies and the rest of the insect sweep
Fireflies are the one insect tied directly to darkness. Running them down in the grass at night registers a higher Star Rating on the catch, which is the difference between a filler entry and one worth keeping. The rest of the net work happens across the Grassland Region, with the Honeypot Ant sitting near flower patches rather than open grass.
| Insect | Sell price |
|---|---|
| Candy Red Pill Millipede | 157 |
| Common Tiger | 64 |
| Bombardier Beetle | 41 |
| Odorous House Ant | 37 |
| Kabuto Beetle | 36 |
| Honeypot Ant | 16 |
| Ground Beetle | Not confirmed |
| Firefly | Not confirmed |
Shellfish and shore-dwellers along the beach rocks
Shore-dwellers are the steadiest income on the list because they do not need a bite window. You walk the waterline with the Shellfish Tongs and pick them up. Lobsters sit on the large rock formations, urchins and prawns stay in the shallow water bed, and the Pearl Oyster requires a dive down to the sea floor.
| Creature | Where to find it | Sell price |
|---|---|---|
| Spear Lobster | Large rock | 120 |
| Pink Spiny Lobster | Beach rock formation | 102 |
| Hermit Crab | Shallow beach water | 100 |
| Moon Crab | Near sea plants | 66 |
| Royal Cloak Scallop | Near rocks | 65 |
| Common Brown Crab | Shallows | 60 |
| Banded Coral Shrimp | Underwater foliage | 60 |
| Clawed Lobster (Langoustine) | Ocean rocks | 60 |
| Strawberry Crab | Shallow sea water | 59 |
| Scalloped Spiny Lobster | Rock | 58 |
| Tuxedo Sea Urchin | Shallows | 58 |
| Pearl Oyster | Sea floor | 50 |
| Sea Urchin | Shallows | 24 |
| Tiger Prawn | Shallow water bed | 24 |
| Blue Crab | Reef waters | Not confirmed |
Check the shop value before you sell
Every creature has more than one price attached to it. Opening the entry at Glenn’s Goods shows the value for the exact specimen you are holding, and a higher-grade catch of a common species can out-earn a low-grade rarity. Freshwater rivers illustrate it well, where a Piranha listed at a 14 base can read considerably higher in the menu after a good catch.
Values shift between builds, so treat any figure as a reference point and confirm it in the shop before clearing out your inventory.
A full night circuit ends up looking the same most evenings. Sweep the grass for fireflies and beetles, work the rocks with the tongs on the way to the water, then park at the coast for the Moonfish and the two blue-water rarities while the river and waterfall spots handle the Shadow Bass, Spined Loach and Redmoon Snakehead.
