Seems like it's time to open fishing season .

Comment by Aquifel

Coming in 5.2: Quote from Mumpers Twitter:

These new battle pets are from fishing. Each one from a unique area in Pandaria.

This is one of 4 new pets coming in 5.2, all of the fish are exceptionally rare drops obtained via fishing in their respective areas. Unfortunately as of right now, all of the fish seem to be BoP, and none of them are cageable. I highly recommend reading El's Anglin's Tiny Carp page if you're interested in fishing one up.

The Tiny Blue Carp can be fished up ~~only~~ in Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Apparently, there are a lot of people who are finding these in Townlong Steppes as well, all of them seem to report catching it from pools of Redbelly Mandarin.

The other fish available are Tiny Red Carp Tiny Green Carp Tiny White Carp.

Els Anglin reports that this is a catch from Vale of Eternal Blossoms:

Comment by unklebobb

So far, catch rate is less than 1% on these. It's going to be tough if you are on a PVP server.

I'll post a screenshot as soon as I can.

Comment by shatha69

Got this today out of a REGULAR redbelly mandarin pool in Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Also, it was the second fish from a cast while I was using Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm, so unsure if it just comes with a primary fish normally or benefitted from the charm directly. happy fishing!

edit: wanted to specify it wasnt one of the special swarming pools added in 5.2.0.

Comment by CarsomyrWRA

For the people saying these are ONLY Obtainable in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, this is Incorrect.

I just received one of these while fishing in a Crowded Redbelly Mandarian pool in Townlong Steppes.

I caught one in Townlong (Fields of Niuzao). Took me about 700 tries. And you don't need to be 600 to fish it.

Comment by Lorax42

I just wanted to confirm that I just caught one of these guys in the Fish of the Day pools in the Fields of Niuzao from a Crowded Redbelly Mandarin pool.

It took me 321 casts in pools from the time I started.

Comment by cherrytealeaves

I also caught my Tiny Blue Carp from a Large Pool of Crowded Redbelly Mandarin fish in the Fields of Niuzao, Townlong Steppes (35, 54) with a 630 fishing skill. I received the carp as a secondary fish to a Redbelly Mandarin as I was using Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm.

Comment by lordlight

Great battle pet vs the Pandaren Spirit Tamers. A high level 25 aqua pet like this can really make things easier and they have nice synergy with other aqua pets.

3rd catch from a regular Redbelly Mandarian pool in Tonlong Steppes (Sra'Vess) 22.3 51.7
2nd to a Redbelly Mandarin, was using Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm

Comment by saschavykos

I just fished up a Tiny Blue Carp from one of the Crowded Redbelly Mandarin pools in the lake North West of Niuzao Temple and just wanted to add my piece.

My fishing skill is 482 and although I was using the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat and the Jeweled Fishing Pole, they did not bring my fishing skill up to what I would consider a "high" level.

I cast 15 times and fished up a Flying Tiger Gourami as a secondary fish on my 11th cast. Pity I had already handed in my rare fish quests for the day.

I was not using the Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm and although a lot who have fished it up are saying that they were, (in my opinion) I'm not sure it makes that much difference. The fact being that it grants you the chance to find extra "primary" fish, where as the Tiny Carp, and any other pet, mount and/or quest fish appear as a secondary "bonus" item regardless of whether you have the charm or not.

Good luck and happy fishing!

Comment by reinah

I got this today while fishing NOT from pools, (free-fishing in the river) in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, while wearing fishing gear that brought me up to 785 fishing skill. It was looted alone, not accompanied by another fish, so it is obtainable without junk cap (area junk cap is 825) and it is obtainable without pool fishing.

Comment by 695019

Just to add in a little info:

I just fished this up on my level 86 Death Knight, in the Vale, not in a pool.

She only has 396 fishing skill. Not using any lures or other bonuses.

Good news for those like me who like leveling their fishing on alts - send the toon to a useful spot to do so!

Comment by bettybae

I fished this beauty up yesterday in front of the Mogushan palace with the Jewel Danio daily event. I also had the charm buff but I did not use any other buffs since I was at 600 fishing skill. He came as a secondary catch to a jewel danio... I think people are reporting having the charm buff because just like bonus rolls the buff gives you one more extra chance at loot.
Happy fishing, anglers!

Comment by 1115843

Please don't downrate, I just wanted to share my experience.

I just caught mine during the Jewel Danio event in the water around Mogu'shan Palace.
As for the specifics...
Realm: Lightninghoof around 9:15 pm server.
Extras: Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm, Bright Baubles, and Jeweled Fishing Pole.
Skill: 590 + 75 + 30 = 695 at time of catch.
Pool: Large Pool of Glimmering Jewel Danio Pool

This was about my 30th or so catch, came as a secondary with a Jewel Danio. I also got several sealed crates and a Flying Tiger Gourami. I didn't see where the Pandaren Charm seemed to matter as much, but certainly helps with farming. It is obvious you don't need to be maxed out in fishing and decked out in gear, just keep trying! I definitely suggest trying during the super spawns of fish pools, and just use whatever you have to boost your fishing, maybe you'll get lucky like me!

Happy Fishing :)

To add my experience with catches here for other people trying to get it:
Got mine on an alt at Fields of Niuzao, Townlong Steppes (35, 54), by fishing from a normal Redbelly Mandarin School, during rain (I've noticed other people mention catching their Tiny Red Carps during rain there).

Skill is irrelevant for fishing from pools, but for the curious, I only had 30 fishing skill on that alt and just using the basic fishing skill (no pole, no lure, no buffs of any kind):

Your skill in Fishing has increased to 30.
You receive loot: .
You receive loot: .

Good luck!

I just caught a second Tiny Blue Carp today, from Crowded Redbelly Mandarin Pool. I caught my first one a month ago, after a few hundred casts.

Comment by 1112386

Just caught my first Tiny Blue Carp early this morning. Came as a total surprise to me. I was fishing a Jewel Danio School near Mistfall Village. I couldn't tell if I caught this in open water or from the pool, but it came as a secondary catch. I can't say for sure how many casts as I wasn't intentionally fishing for this (until I caught this little guy, I had no idea these pets existed). I'd say no more than 20 casts total within the Vale.

Comment by LSavage

To summarise:

These are fished from open water in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, or any Jewel Danio or Redbelly Mandarin pool (including the Fish of the Day pools).

If you are fishing in open water in the Vale, the greater your fishing skill (up to 825) the greater are your chances of catching it.

(Thanks El's Anglin')

Comment by Thrakall

Patch 5.3: Tiny Red Carp, Tiny Blue Carp, Tiny Green Carp, and Tiny White Carp can now be caged.

Comment by GimEU

When you learn to summon these carps are they rare quality or uncommon if anyone knows to tell me :)?

Comment by ElhonnaDS

To clarify the discussion about the Golden Carp dropping the pet, the guides don't say you can't get them with a Golden Carp- they say you can't get them with a Golden Carp that is the result of a failed cast.

The way that fishing works is that regardless of skill, you can fish anywhere. And regardless of skill, you do have a chance, even if it is a small one, of having a successful cast in any open body of water (pools require no skill, and are always successful, I believe). The recommended skill levels for each zone aren't the levels you have to have to catch the pet- they're the levels you have to have to never have a failed cast, and therefore have the best chance of catching the pet.

There are two loot tables for each body of water with fishing- one for a successful cast, and one for a failed cast. In pre-Pandaria bodies of water, the successful loot table has all of the normal fish for that area, and the occasional crate, potion, etc. The failed loot table has all that low-value grey garbage like sickly fish and bent hooks and such. However, in Pandaria, the failed loot table always rewards Golden Carp. The successful loot table rewards one of the normal zone fish, which can also include Golden Carp. So when you catch a golden carp, it is impossible to tell if it was a successful or a failed cast, and the pet would only have a chance to appear if it was a Golden Carp from the success loot table, and not the failed one.

So it is good advice that the best shot you have to catch them is to get your skill level to the point where you have no more failures, but that doesn't mean that you wouldn't still be getting Golden Carp- just that you wouldn't be getting any more with no chance at the pet. It also means that if you don't have the skill levels that people are recommending, you do still have the chance to pull up this pet- your odds just go way down.

There are definitely people who are getting this pet as the secondary on Golden Carp, but that doesn't mean it appears on failed casts. It means that RNG smiled on them on one of their successful casts, that happened to be a Golden Carp.

In 5.4 there will be no waters in Vale so Tiny Blue Carp will be unobtainable there. However, carp still can be fished in Townlong Steppes.

Comment by MilaPriest

Do we have to fish this pet from a pool or is it obtainable from the open waters in the locations (The Vale and TS) mentioned above ?
Could someone please confirm/reply ?

Thank you in advance

Comment by Malanore

I got mine after 34 casts in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms from a Glimmering Jewel Danio Pool in the Mogushan Palace pond.

Fishing skill was 600 + 37 (forgot to click my fishing hat -.-)

Normal weather, nothing fancy

Comment by sdkphoenix

These are still able to be fished up in the little water pools in the northwest corner of the Vale.

Caught in Jewel Danio school in Mossgreen Lake, Timeless Isle.

Comment by 1147997

I just caught one of these in Ruby Lake on the Timeless Isle while waiting for Garnia to spawn.

Comment by Darkscarlett

On Timeless Isle, I was waiting for Garnia to spawn at the Ruby Lake, so I started fishing to pass the time. I fished up one of these without even trying, or knowing that it could be fished there! So if you are bored while waiting for Garnia to spawn like I was, start fishing and you might get lucky like I did! Although I do not know about the other tiny carp.

Comment by Jmajem

On timeless Isle today , i was fishing Jewel danio when i had this fish , so it can be fished in few places

Comment by Aliandrin

I can say without a doubt that the best place to find these is the schools of Crowded Redbelly Mandarin in Townlong on fish day, when Ben of the Booming Voice in Halfhill Market tells you it is fish day in Townlong. I'm doing my guild fishing achievement, and at least trying to get 200 fish from pools per day.

By the time I'd met my quota, I had found THREE OF THESE, all within the first half of my fishing time here.

Just a little tidbit: When I had three in my pokedex and could learn no more (because I'd bought one already, thus my third catch had to sit in my inventory) I found no more. So if you can, learn them immediately, just in case this find is significant, so you can catch another one.

Comment by Krian

Got one at the timeless isle lake

Comment by Magneith

Illness had kept me confined to an inn for months. About 1 moon ago, I was set to return to the world. My adventures had once again led me down the path of befriending the world's various creatures for my farming and stable facilities.

One such creature had continued to elude me, the Tiny Blue Carp. A cousin of this fish crossed my path before. A green carp now graces my aquarium. I had heard strong word that the Blue Carps had fled the Vale since it's horrific corruption and set flight for the Timeless Isle. Reported sightings in the central lake by the Celestial Court had piqued my interest once again. I took with me my best fishing pole, my trusty fishing hat, my newly acquired fishing chair and an empty tackle box. I also has an old charm used by the ancient Pandaren. Stories of this charm say it has a mysterious power that draws more fish to the area when you are fishing.

I set up along side the edge of the lake. I quickly found myself catching from a school of Danio and while I knew there would be plenty of fish that afternoon, the Carp would surely remain hidden. I was prepared for an extended outing. But, just moments after setting up, a Blue Carp swam by my lure and took it! I had no other choice but to spare the life of such a rare fish and it now accompanies its green cousin behind my aquarium glass.

My travels will now take me to the far west of Pandaria, for the Red and White Carps have proven more evasive than their Green and Blue relatives. In time, I will return to document them.

Comment by derby31

I just fished up 2 of these in 3 casts whilst fishing in Large Pool of Glimmering Jewel Danio in the Mossgreen Lake on the Timeless Isle. It was the last casts before Krakkanon appeared. Perhaps just RNG luck.

Comment by 1038721

The pet journal states: "These little guys can be found in the waters of the Timeless Isle, or swimming alongside Jewel Danio or Redbelly Mandarin." http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/tiny_blue_carp.html

Comment by 1381892
