All the new fish coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons in July

Time to bulk buy some rods, there's new fish to reel in

New fish are available every month in Animal Crossing, which means it's time to get fishing.

For those who want to complete their Critterpedia, a new month means they can continue to do just that.

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, that means summer is in full swing. With this, you'll start to see some exotic (and valuable) fish in your waters.

June brought us a whole host of new fish to snag, including different sharks and piranhas, and July isn't adding too much to the roster.

There will, of course, be new bugs to capture this month as well, which is sure to thrill entomologists out there, but we will cover that in a different guide
