| - Neko Atsume's official info |
Fish and Gold Fish are the currency in Neko Atsume, and are used to purchase Food, Goodies, Wallpapers, Remodels, and the Yard Expansion.
Players earn fish after a Cat has played in their Yard. An alert "Gifts Await" will appear on the Yard interface when fish or Gold Fish has been left behind. Players can also accept their Gifts from the Gifts tab in the Game Menu. Up to 100 Gifts may be stored uncollected; additional Gifts will cause the oldest Gifts to be automatically accepted.
Gold Fish are typically more uncommon than Silver Fish, and are hence considered more valuable. Players may Exchange Fish for Gold Fish and vice versa at the Shop.
Gold Fish may also be purchased with real money in denominations of 50G; 120G; 200G; and 300G. Prices may vary depending on the country the player is in. This feature is exclusive to the unpaid version.
