On my Stardew Valley farm, I have a fish pond containing five ice pips. They've just requested a crystal fruit, which I gave them immediately. After doing so, I checked out the pond to see the new capacity, and noticed that it says the fish a are swimming in circles.

Screenshot of Stardew Valley Ice Pip fish pond, population five out of seven, saying "The fish are swimming in circles"

It's been a while since I looked at the pond, so I don't know if this status is new or not.

Is it bad news? Is it just because they had a request today? Or maybe even just because it's raining? (It's Saturday 13th Summer.) I also have lobster pond and a sturgeon pond (both at maximum), and they've always been happy.

  • It's extra-confusing because fish ponds are square, so surely the fish should be swimming in quadrilaterals of some sort if anything.

This status does not mean anything, it is simply one of the randomly picked phrases that are shown when there is no request that needs to be fulfilled.

  • Phew! The status did go back to saying that the fish are happy/thriving/whatever the next day.
