The black bass is a common fish found in rivers that appears in all games. It appears year round, all day and sells for 300 Bells. Despite the name, the black bass is not actually black at all, but a dark sheen of green. It is a member of the bass family. In the Gamecube games, it was split into three fish including itself. The other two were the Small Bass and the Large Bass. It, the Large Bass, and the Small Bass make up the only species in Animal Crossing that classifies as multiple different fish.
