Fish Breed
Breed squids, glow squids, fish and dolphins — and raise your own named aquarium pets!
In vanilla Minecraft, ocean mobs can't be bred. Fish Breed changes that: feed two of the same kind and they'll swim toward each other and have a baby.
🐟 How to breed
Right-click two adult mobs of the same kind with their favourite food. Hearts appear, the pair swims together, and a baby is born.
| Mob | Food (either one works) |
|---|---|
| Squid | Kelp |
| Glow Squid | Kelp |
| Tropical Fish | Seagrass |
| Cod | Wheat Seeds / Pumpkin Seeds |
| Salmon | Melon Seeds / Beetroot Seeds |
| Pufferfish | Cocoa Beans / Torchflower Seeds |
| Dolphin | Any fish |
✨ Features
- Glowing genes – A squid and a glow squid can breed together. If either parent glows, the baby has a 50% chance to be a glow squid.
- Named babies – Every newborn gets a cute random name tag, so you can tell your pets apart.
- No despawning – Babies are marked persistent and will never despawn, so your aquarium stays full.
- Real babies – Baby squids and dolphins use the vanilla baby models. Baby fish are born at half size and grow to full size after 20 minutes.
- Fair cooldown – After breeding, parents rest for 5 minutes. Babies can't breed until they're grown.
📦 Requirements
- Minecraft 26.3

Server-side logic: install it on the server (or in single-player). Clients don't need extra resources.
❓ FAQ
Does this work on existing worlds? Yes. Just add the mod; any squid, fish or dolphin can be bred right away.
Can I remove the mod later? Yes. Babies stay as normal mobs with their names. Baby fish that haven't grown yet will stay at half size.
