If a player is fixing up the Community Center, and they have the River Fish Bundle in the Fishtank, then get ready to give the Junimos a Tiger Trout. It is one of the fish required to finish off that bundle and will net you 30 bait upon completion.
Fish Ponds
The Tiger Trout is one of the more unique fish when it comes to how it interacts in Fish Ponds. When a fish is put into the pond, it will normally self-populate the pond. A Tiger Trout will not do this. You must fish each one of the 10 fish and put them in the pond by hand. On top of that, they will not have any special requests for increasing the pond size like other fish. Tiger Trout also produce nothing aside from their own roe. That means no special items come from putting them in a pond. The Tiger Trout roe can still be aged for more money based on Farming skills, and picking up the roe will give a farmer 14 experience points each time.
