My Fishing Brainrots Guide (2026)

My Fishing Brainrots is the laziest game I’ve ever loved. You hatch weird meme creatures, they fish for you automatically, and you make money while doing absolutely nothing. I left it running overnight and woke up to 2 million coins. That’s the dream right there.

This My Fishing Brainrots guide covers everything from your first egg to maxing out your Fish Index. Whether you’re brand new or stuck mid-game, I got you.

How My Fishing Brainrots Works

The gameplay loop is dead simple:

Buy eggs from the conveyor
Hatch brainrot pets
Brainrots fish automatically in the pond
Fish go into boxes
Sell boxes for cash
Buy better eggs
Upgrade your brainrots
Rebirth for permanent bonuses
Repeat forever

That’s it. The whole game. And somehow I’ve sunk 20+ hours into it already.

Your First 30 Minutes

When you spawn, you get some starting cash. Here’s exactly what to do:

Walk to the egg conveyor (big machine in the center)
Buy the cheapest egg available
Place it on your plot
Wait for it to hatch
Watch your first brainrot start fishing

Your starter brainrot is probably Common rarity. It fishes slow. That’s fine. You need cash flow before you can be picky.

Once you have one brainrot working, buy another egg. Fill your available slots. More brainrots = more fish = more money.

The Egg System

Eggs are everything in this game. Better eggs mean better brainrots.

Egg Rarities

Rarity	Brainrot Quality	Spawn Timer
Common	Worst	Always available
Uncommon	Below average	Short wait
Rare	Decent	Medium wait
Epic	Good	Longer wait
Legendary	Excellent	Long wait
Mythic	Best	Very long wait

The conveyor belt shows a timer for rare eggs. Epic, Legendary, and Mythic eggs are guaranteed to appear after their timer hits zero. You can reduce these timers by upgrading the conveyor.

Egg Buying Strategy

Here’s what I learned the hard way. Don’t spam Common eggs after the first hour.

Early game? Sure, buy Commons to fill slots. But once you have 4-5 brainrots fishing, start saving for better eggs.

One Legendary brainrot outfishes like 8 Commons. The math isn’t even close. Save your coins, wait for the timer, grab that Legendary egg.

My strategy:

First hour: Buy Commons to fill all slots
Hours 2-5: Save for Rare/Epic eggs only
After first rebirth: Legendary and Mythic only

Brainrot Rarities Explained

Your brainrots determine everything. Higher rarity = faster fishing = better fish = more money.

Rarity	Fishing Speed	Fish Quality	Worth Keeping?
Common	Very slow	Basic fish	Early game only
Uncommon	Slow	Basic fish	Replace ASAP
Rare	Decent	Better fish	Mid-game staple
Epic	Fast	Good fish	Keep these
Legendary	Very fast	Great fish	Definitely keep
Mythic	Insane	Best fish	Never delete

I’ve hatched probably 300+ eggs at this point. Got 4 Legendaries and 1 Mythic. The RNG is brutal but that’s idle games for you.

Special Brainrots

Some brainrots have special traits beyond their rarity:

Rainbow variants have boosted stats
Golden variants earn bonus cash
Event brainrots (like The Grinch) have unique abilities

The Grinch brainrot from the Christmas event is actually busted. If you got one, congrats. It outperforms most Legendaries.

Upgrading Your Brainrots

Don’t just hatch and forget. Upgrading is how you actually progress.

To upgrade a brainrot:

Walk up to it
Click the green arrow below its name
Spend cash to level it up

Each level increases:

Fishing speed
Fish quality caught
Cash per fish

Upgrade priority:

Your highest rarity brainrot first
Then work down the list
Don’t waste cash upgrading Commons

I made the mistake of spreading upgrades evenly. Wrong move. One maxed Legendary beats five half-upgraded Rares.

The Fish Index

This is the secret progression system most players miss.

Every fish your brainrots catch gets logged in the Fish Index. When you complete entries, you unlock permanent cash multipliers.

Index Milestone	Reward
10 fish types	+10% cash
25 fish types	+25% cash
50 fish types	+50% cash
100 fish types	+100% cash

These bonuses are PERMANENT. They survive rebirth. This is why you want diverse brainrots catching different fish types, not just raw income.

Fish Index Tips

Higher rarity brainrots catch rarer fish
Different brainrots catch different fish types
Check your index regularly to see what you’re missing
Some fish only appear at certain times or conditions

I’m at 67 fish types currently. The grind to 100 is real but that permanent 2x multiplier is worth it.

The Rebirth System

Rebirth is how you break through plateaus. It wipes your progress but gives permanent bonuses.

What You Lose on Rebirth

All your cash
All your brainrots
Your current upgrades

What You Keep

Fish Index progress
Permanent multipliers
Rebirth bonuses

Rebirth Requirements

Each rebirth needs:

Minimum cash amount
Specific brainrots hatched

Check the Rebirth button to see exact requirements. Don’t rebirth the moment you can. Build up first.

When to Rebirth

My rule: rebirth when progress feels painfully slow.

If you’re earning 10k/minute and the next egg costs 500k, that’s 50 minutes of waiting. After rebirth, your multipliers might cut that to 20 minutes. Worth it.

Rebirth strategy:

Max out your current brainrots first
Complete as much Fish Index as possible
Hit the rebirth requirements
Rebirth
Rush back to where you were (faster this time)
Push further
Repeat

Each rebirth cycle should take you further than the last.

Offline Earnings

The best part of this game. Your brainrots keep fishing when you’re not playing.

But there’s a cap. You can only accumulate so much offline before it stops counting. I learned this after leaving the game for 12 hours expecting billions. Nope. Capped after about 4 hours.

Maximizing Offline Gains

Fill all brainrot slots before logging off
Prioritize high-rarity brainrots (they earn more per hour)
Check back every 3-4 hours if possible
Upgrade your offline cap when available

The offline system is generous but not infinite. Plan your sessions around it.

Beyond individual brainrot upgrades, there’s a global upgrades menu. These affect everything:

Upgrade	Effect
Better Fishing Luck	Higher chance of rare fish
Faster Conveyor	Reduces egg spawn timers
More Slots	Additional brainrot capacity
Offline Boost	Increases offline earnings cap

Priority order:

More Slots (more brainrots = more income)
Offline Boost (passive gains are huge)
Faster Conveyor (better eggs faster)
Better Fishing Luck (nice but not essential)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

After watching my friends struggle, here’s what NOT to do:

Spamming Common eggs - Stop after the first hour
Spreading upgrades evenly - Focus on your best brainrots
Ignoring the Fish Index - Those permanent multipliers matter
Rebirthing too early - Build up first
Forgetting offline caps - Check back every few hours
Deleting Mythics for space - Never. Ever.

Quick Progression Checklist

New player speedrun:

Is My Fishing Brainrots Worth Playing?

Look, it’s an idle game. You’re not here for deep gameplay. You’re here to watch numbers go up while brainrot memes fish for you.

If that sounds appealing? Absolutely worth it. The satisfaction of checking back after a few hours and seeing your coin count explode is real.

If you want active gameplay? This ain’t it. You’ll be bored in 10 minutes.

I play it as a side game. Check in a few times a day, hatch some eggs, close it. Perfect background game.
