Animal Crossing: New Horizons new fish, insects and sea creatures to catch in January

When January arrives, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players have to find another batch of fish, insects and sea creatures around their islands.

There is no rush to capture any of them, as most of them will last much longer than a month, but make sure you donate new finds to Blathers to complete your museum. You can tell when you have captured a new creature because your character will exclaim “Yes!” before they say the mistake or the name of the fish.

You can also check in Critterpedia to see if you have donated the bugfish or not. If you have it, there will be a small owl icon next to the critter name. (Note that these emblems do not appear if you are on someone else̵

Unfortunately, the islands in the northern hemisphere will not get any new creatures in January. You can see the list of southern hemisphere creatures moving in below. Keep in mind that some of these will return to your island after being previously available, so if they seem familiar, you probably caught them during a previous availability.
