The Fish Vault is one of the most game-changing features added to Steal a Fish with the recent Vault Update. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about unlocking, upgrading, and strategically using the Fish Vault to dominate the leaderboards and protect your most valuable catches.
Contents
The Fish Vault is a secure storage system located on the top floor of your base that functions as a high-security safe deposit box for your most valuable fish. Think of it as your personal bank vault where rare and event-exclusive catches can be stored safely, away from other players who might try to steal them.
The vault serves three critical purposes in your Steal a Fish journey:
Protection for Rare Fish: Store ultra-rare catches like Zholthagru, Cthulhu, and event-exclusive fish that would otherwise be vulnerable to theft. Once fish are in the vault, they're completely protected from other players, even when your force field is down.
Rebirth Preparation: Keep specific fish required for future rebirth levels safe and ready. This prevents you from accidentally selling or losing fish you'll need later for progression.
Trading and Collection Display: The vault includes a social feature where you can enable "friends allowed" mode, letting your friends visit and admire your collection. This is perfect for showing off those rare Admin Abuse event catches or mythical fish that took hours to obtain.
Critical Note: Fish stored in the vault do NOT generate any income. They're completely frozen in terms of money generation, so you'll need to carefully decide which fish are worth locking away versus keeping active in your base for cash flow.
Unlocking the Fish Vault requires completing one of the most challenging rebirths in Steal a Fish. Here's exactly what you need and how to prepare:
Phase 1: Early Collection (Before Hitting 150Qa)
Start farming rare fish LONG before you reach the 150Qa money requirement. Rare fish like Zholthagru and Sacabambaspis can take hours or even days to spawn naturally, so having them ready when you hit the money threshold is crucial.
Phase 2: Leverage Admin Abuse Events
Admin Abuse events are your golden ticket for catching these rare fish. During these special 90-minute events hosted by developers, spawn rates increase dramatically with up to 99x luck multipliers. The next major Admin Abuse event typically occurs with each major update, so mark your calendar and join the official Steal a Fish Discord for real-time announcements.
Phase 3: Money Grinding Strategy
Focus on keeping your highest-earning fish active in your base. Don't store away money-makers prematurely. Popular high-income fish include Deep Eater (230T$/s), Drengothua (2.3Qa$/s), and Seeker (2.6Qa$/s). Keep these working until you're ready to rebirth.
Phase 4: Execute the Rebirth
Once you have all requirements met, click the Rebirth button on the left side of your screen. Complete the rebirth process, and the Fish Vault will immediately unlock on a new top floor of your base.
The vault starts with limited storage slots, which fills up quickly if you're collecting rare event fish. Fortunately, you can expand capacity through additional rebirths, with each upgrade adding 2 extra slots.
The money requirement alone is staggering, jumping from 150Qa to 2.75Qi (that's over 18x more money). This upgrade is definitely endgame content and shouldn't be rushed.
Prioritize Collection During Events: Aurora events, Blizzard events, and Admin Abuse sessions are when Aurorawhale and other event fish spawn. Don't miss these limited-time opportunities.
Farm Star Striders Strategically: Since you need three Star Striders, start collecting them early. Consider using one in your active base while storing duplicates for the upgrade.
Don't Rush the Upgrade: Make sure your economy is stable before attempting this upgrade. You'll need massive income generation to recover from the 2.75Qi investment.
Simply unlocking the vault isn't enough - you need to use it intelligently to maximize its benefits without crippling your income generation.
Duplicate Rare Fish: If you catch multiple copies of expensive rare fish like Zholthagru or Cthulhu, store the extras. Keep one active for income, vault the duplicates for safety.
Future Rebirth Requirements: Research upcoming rebirth requirements and store those specific fish. This prevents you from accidentally using or losing them before you need them.
Event-Exclusive Fish: Fish from Admin Abuse events, Aurora updates, or seasonal content should be vaulted if you have duplicates. These fish often become incredibly valuable for trading after events end.
Ultra-Rare Catches: Mythic and Brainrot God tier fish that took hours to obtain deserve vault protection, especially if you're not relying on them for primary income.
Your Top Money Makers: Never vault your highest income-generating fish while you're still grinding for money. Fish like Deep Eater, Drengothua, and Seeker should stay active until you're comfortably wealthy.
Common/Rare Tier Fish: These fish aren't worth vault space. They're easy to replace if stolen and don't provide enough value to justify storage.
Fish Needed for Immediate Rebirths: If you're close to completing a rebirth, don't vault the required fish until AFTER you complete that rebirth.
Admin Abuse events are the single best opportunity to catch multiple copies of rare fish. During these 90-minute windows, developers spawn exclusive fish at dramatically increased rates. Your strategy during these events should be:
Create a mathematical balance between active earning fish and vaulted protection. A good rule of thumb: If a fish generates less than 10% of your total income, it's a candidate for vaulting. If it's a top-5 earner, keep it active.
The "friends allowed" vault feature lets others view your collection. Enable this when:
Disable it when:
Don't rush into the vault-unlock rebirth the moment you hit 150Qa. Consider:
New players often get excited about the vault and immediately store their rarest fish, not realizing this kills their income. Always prioritize cash flow over collection display until you're wealthy enough that income doesn't matter.
The vault upgrade costs 2.75Qi - don't attempt this until you have stable income of at least 50Qa per second. Rushing it will leave you broke and unable to progress.
These events are the easiest way to catch rare vault-worthy fish. Missing even one event can set you back weeks. Join the MY FISH FRIEND Roblox Group and the official Discord to get event notifications.
Starting to farm for Zholthagru and Baby Deep Eater AFTER hitting 150Qa means you'll sit at the rebirth threshold for days or weeks. Start collecting these fish when you hit 50Qa to have them ready in advance.
This bears repeating: Fish in the vault are FROZEN. They generate ZERO money. Don't treat the vault as expanded base slots - treat it as a safety deposit box for fish you don't need active right now.
Since unlocking the vault requires completing a specific rebirth, understanding how rebirths work is crucial for your strategy.
When you rebirth in Steal a Fish, you:
Each rebirth provides powerful permanent bonuses that accelerate future progress. The vault-unlock rebirth is particularly valuable because:
Before clicking that rebirth button:
| Feature | Normal Base Storage | Fish Vault |
|---|---|---|
| Money Generation | Fish generate income | Fish DON'T generate income |
| Theft Protection | Vulnerable when force field is down | Completely theft-proof |
| Capacity | Limited base slots | Separate vault slots |
| Location | Main base floor | Dedicated top floor |
| Friend Access | Visible to raiders | Optional "friends allowed" mode |
| Best For | Active money-making fish | Rare duplicates & future rebirth needs |
For most players, unlocking the vault takes 20-40 hours of active gameplay, depending on your grinding efficiency and whether you catch Admin Abuse events. The money requirement (150Qa) is the biggest time sink.
No. Once fish are stored in the vault, they are completely safe from theft regardless of your force field status. This is the vault's primary benefit.
No! The vault and its contents persist through future rebirths. Only fish in your main base are lost during rebirth - vault fish stay permanently.
The vault starts with a limited number of slots (typically 4-6) and can be expanded by +2 slots with each upgrade. There's no confirmed maximum, but most players report having 8-12 slots after multiple upgrades.
Absolutely, especially for mid-to-late game players. The vault becomes essential once you start collecting event-exclusive fish and planning for higher-tier rebirths that require specific rare fish.
No direct trading system exists in Steal a Fish currently. However, you can remove fish from the vault to your base, then other players can attempt to steal them if you're facilitating a "trade" this way.
Your friends in the same server can visit your vault and view your collection, but they cannot take or interact with vaulted fish in any way. It's purely for display purposes.
No! You must have ALL requirements (including rare fish) before completing the rebirth. You can't unlock the vault and then collect fish afterward - it's a package deal.
In normal gameplay, fish like Zholthagru and Baby Deep Eater are extremely rare, potentially taking days to spawn. During Admin Abuse events with 99x luck multipliers, spawn rates increase dramatically - these events are your best opportunity.
Yes, significantly! By safely storing fish required for future rebirths, you can focus on money grinding without worrying about losing or accidentally using those specific fish.
