The Fisch 2nd Anniversary Update is live as a limited-time Roblox event as of October 4, 2026. The main goal is to catch different anniversary species and turn them in at the Birthday Cake connected to Moosewood. Each new species lights a candle on the cake's reward track, so duplicates do not move you toward the next milestone.
Anniversary fish come from two places: temporary Anniversary Pools and normal fishing areas with global catches. This overview explains where to start, how the unique-catch progression works, what the candle milestones give you, and why candle 11 matters if you want the Birthday Candle Rod.
How the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Birthday Cake event works
The Birthday Cake is connected to Moosewood. At the icing pool at its base, use the Toss In interaction to submit eligible anniversary catches. Turn-ins can award Cupcake bait and XP, while each unique species lights one candle. A duplicate may still give ordinary event bait or value, but it cannot light another candle.
Use this loop when you are collecting for the cake:
- Bring the first copy of each anniversary species to the Birthday Cake before selling it.
- Toss the catch into the icing pool to claim the turn-in rewards and light its candle.
- Keep fishing for species you have not submitted yet. More duplicate catches will not replace a missing unique candle.
- Check the candle track after each new submission so you know which milestone is next.
Fishing near the Birthday Cake is also reported to give a slight luck boost toward global anniversary items. That makes the cake area a useful place to fish between pool windows, but it does not replace checking the temporary pools.
Fisch Anniversary Pools, global catches, and the Birthday Leviathan
Anniversary Pools appear periodically across these ocean regions:
- Castaway Cliffs
- Forsaken Shores
- Roslit Bay
- Snowcap Island
A global chat announcement identifies the island area when a pool appears. Current event coverage puts the cadence at roughly once per hour, with each pool active for about 15 minutes. Use the announcement to pick the correct region, then travel there quickly instead of waiting for a fixed clock time.
The pools contain a swimming Birthday Leviathan and rare pool-focused species. The event also includes global catches that can appear while fishing outside a pool, so you do not need to wait for every anniversary species to come from the pink event water. If you are missing one fish, check the Fisch fish collection and your Bestiary before camping the next pool.
That split changes how you should spend the limited event window. Fish in normal waters when no pool is active, watch global chat for the next announcement, and submit each new species as soon as you find it.
Fisch Birthday Cake rewards and Birthday Candle Rod
The current reward track is safest to follow as 11 unique submissions, with the Birthday Candle Rod at candle 11. These are the reported milestone rewards:
| Candle | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1 | 5 Cupcakes and the Birthday title |
| 2 | 6 Cupcakes and Cupcake Bobber |
| 3 | 6 Cupcakes and Lit-Candle Lantern |
| 4 | Fish Cake |
| 5 | 5 Cupcakes and Anniversary Totem |
| 6 | 7 Cupcakes and Birthday Cake Furniture |
| 7 | Anniversary Popper Bobber x2 |
| 8 | 9 Cupcakes and Party Hat Lantern |
| 9 | 7 Cupcakes and Cake Cruiser |
| 10 | 8 Cupcakes and Birthday Cake Halo |
| 11 | Birthday Candle Rod |
Candle 5 is a useful breakpoint if pool gaps are slowing you down because the Anniversary Totem gives you another way to create a pool opportunity. Candle 11 is the final goal for the rod. The Birthday Candle Rod is a cake-progression reward, not a normal shop purchase.
Birthday Candle Rod stats and passive
The reported base stat line for the Birthday Candle Rod is 60% lure speed, 105% luck, 0 control, 35% resilience, and a 500,000 kg maximum weight.
Its event effect is the important part for this update. You can relight the candle to ignite a fish, and you can drop cake on a lured fish for major progress. Exact passive bonus percentages are less consistent across the available descriptions, so the stable takeaway is the unlock route and these two cake-related actions.
Fisch 2nd Anniversary code and limited-time schedule
Try the code Happy2ndYear while Roblox still accepts it. Use the Fisch codes page for the current reward and validity instead of relying on a static code reward in this overview.
Current event reporting places a new variant on October 5 at 2 p.m. ET. Treat that as a reported window, not a guaranteed exact server switch. The event is limited-time, and current event listings place it through October 6 without a confirmed shutdown hour. Finish your cake progress before that date rather than saving turn-ins for a last-minute cutoff.
Start with the Birthday Cake, submit the first copy of every anniversary species you catch, and use global announcements to reach the next Anniversary Pool. If pools are slow, aim for candle 5 and its Anniversary Totem. If the rod is your goal, keep going until candle 11 before the event window closes.
