			:I'm not aware of any bug, but I tested on PC and was able to catch both Tilapia and Blue Discus in the pond on a rainy summer morning. I also caught River Jelly, so I would think it's a bug... but we don't know what's intended unless we file a bug report on the [https://forums.stardewvalley.net/ forums] [[User:Margotbean\|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean\|talk]]) 14:34, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

			== Colored Crystals Puzzle difficulty and failing ==

			Curently the wiki says:
			The game gets faster every round, having 5 rounds in total. ... After every failed attempt, the game will slightly slow down.
			Partly inspired by a video, and thinking about if that would go on forever to be incredibly slow, I had a look at the code, and it doesn't seem to match.
			If I am understanding it correctly, the number of rounds you have to play depends on how many times you have failed.
			In IslandWestCave1.UpdateWhenCurrentLocation, we have:

			<syntaxhighlight lang="C#">
			this.currentDifficulty.Value++;
			if (this.currentDifficulty.Value > ((this.timesFailed.Value < 8) ? 7 : 6)) {
			this.netPhaseTimer.Value = 10f;
			this.netPhase.Value = 5;
			break;
			}
			</syntaxhighlight>
			This check also appears later on when it is meant to be playing the sequence to make the sequence play more rapidly and move to the win condition.
			which if I understand if where it triggers the completion of the puzzle.
			Noting that you start at difficulty of 3 (for 3 notes), and it is incremented before hand, this matches up wiht 5 rounds if you have failed less than 8 times, but if you fail 8 times or more it would only be 4 rounds.

			For the timing, it has this:
			<syntaxhighlight lang="C#">
			int betweenNotesDivisor = this.currentDifficulty.Value;
			if (this.currentDifficulty.Value > 5) {
			betweenNotesDivisor--;
			if (this.timesFailed.Value >= 4) {
			betweenNotesDivisor--;
			}
			if (this.timesFailed.Value >= 6) {
			betweenNotesDivisor--;
			}
			if (this.timesFailed.Value >= 8) {
			betweenNotesDivisor = 3;
			}
			} else if (this.timesFailed.Value >= 4 && this.currentDifficulty.Value > 4) {
			betweenNotesDivisor--;
			}
			this.betweenNotesTimer = 1500f / (float)betweenNotesDivisor;
			</syntaxhighlight>
			Again, if I am reading that right, the first round will always be 500 ms and the second round will be 375.
			The 3rd round will be 300, unless you have failed 4 or more times in which case it will be 375.
			The 4th round will be 300, or 375 for 4 or 5 fails, and 500 for more fails.
			The 5th (and final) round will be 250, or 300 for 4 or 5 fails, 375 for 6 or 7, and skipped if you have 8 or more fails.

			I don't have anything that accurate to time it with, so I can't easily check in game myself.
			But if someone else could confirm that would be good.

			As for the wording, would this be better:
			The game gets faster every round, normally having 5 rounds in total. ... Failing several times will reduce the difficulty of the game. 4 fails makes rounds 3 and onwards slower, 6 makes rounds 4 and 5 even slower, and 8 skips the final round.".
