Overview
Tropical Fish is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through fishing, killing tropical fish, and killing guardians and elder guardians. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Tropical Fish. Eating it restores 1 hunger (0.5 drumsticks) and 0.2 saturation points.
Restoring 1 hunger and 0.2 saturation, Tropical Fish keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again.
