As previously suggested, fans that are hunting for Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Saddled Bichir will need to make sure that they are doing so during the months when it spawns. In the Northern Hemisphere this is from June to September, and in the Southern Hemisphere this is from December to March - a four month window that players that are trying to complete their Critterpedias should do their best not to miss.

The time of year is not the only thing that matters when trying to catch a Saddled Bichir in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, though, as the time of day is also a key component. Specifically, this specific fish only appears between 9pm and 4am, which means that Animal Crossing: New Horizons players that are set on obtaining a Saddled Bichir will need to participate in a little nighttime fishing.
Finally, fans must make sure that they are fishing in the correct location if they hope to bring home a Saddled Bichir. This location is in the game’s various rivers, in which the fish will appear as a large shadow, and players that know how to fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons should simply employ standard methods until they catch the desired fish.
For those players that are fishing in the correct location at the correct time but are still having trouble encountering the Saddled Bichir, using fish bait may be advisable. Indeed, this craftable item makes fishing even easier, and fans that use it should have little trouble catching a Saddled Bichir, which they can then donate to Blathers, use to decorate their homes, or sell for 4,000 Bells.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for Nintendo Switch.
