Type		Water
Generation probability		Always

Thepond, also called aholding pond, is the smallest body of water in aAnimal Crossing seriestown. It is the small patch of water that would probably fit inside a six-by-six sized room in theplayer'shouse. Prior toAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, there are usually two ponds in every town, with some towns having more depending on the layout, and sometowns having only one. InAnimal Crossing, atown has a very small chance of being generated without any ponds. Thefish are small and not worth much, but they are exclusive to ponds. Only two bugs are found in ponds; thepondskater anddiving beetle. No fish will appear in ponds duringwinter, buttrash can still be caught inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf.

InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, several fish that were previously river fish are now found in ponds instead, increasing the variety and price range of fish available from ponds.

Pond fish[edit]

The following fish can only be found at the pond:
