What Do Companions Do in Fisch?
Companions are much more than cosmetic pets. Every Companion grants passive bonuses that help while fishing. That includes helping you find Fish or Baits in Fisch, or applying unique effects depending on the Companion. Each Companion also has its own passive ability that becomes stronger as it gains levels, making them a valuable long-term investment.

- Tropical Toucan: Requires only Lost Jungle bait, making it one of the simplest feeding Companions.
- Ollie Otter: Another straightforward feeding Companion that only needs Small Fish.

That is everything you need to know about Companions in Fisch. Which one are you getting first to pair with your Fisch rods? Let us know in the comments.
No, you can collect and store every Companion in the Companion Satchel, but only one Companion can be equipped and provide its passive bonus at any given time.
The quickest method is to keep a Companion equipped while regularly catching fish, interacting with it, walking between fishing spots, and using Companion Candy whenever possible to gain a large amount of Companion XP instantly.
