Candy Fish

For the character, see Fish.

Candy fish (also known as Swedish fish in parts of the game, or simply Fish in the square matching mechanism) is one of the special candies in Candy Crush Soda Saga. Candy Fish is the first special candy introduced in the game.

Formation[]

A candy fish is created when 4 candies (including special candies and bottles) in a square or 5 candies in the letter "P" or "Q". When formed, it gives 120 points to the player.

Properties[]

Candy fish are like normal candies in that they will have a normal colour and will need to be activated. When candy fish is activated, it will randomly target a blocker or a regular candy and swim to it, if there are no blockers. Every candy or blocker that it destroys, it will give 3x as many points it is supposed to give. For example: 20 x 3 = 60 for candies and most blockers; 1000 x 3 = 3000 for honey bears, etc. However, no points will be given to the player if it hits an empty tile. Points from frosting bears will not be multiplied, it is not a blocker.

Targets[]

Other Candy Fish[]

Light Green Candy Fish[]

This fish type is created when candies are matched in green soda or the effects of special candies. They are only released when matches are made from the initial swap and they won't release during cascades. Candies colored by coloring candy or hit by fish will not create fish. Existing candy fish activated will not produce extra light green fish.

Pink Candy Fish[]

This fish type is created when the wrapped fish is uncovered in frosting in a frosting level. The number of candy fish released is equal to the number of spaces the wrapped fish occupies.

Purple Jelly Candy Fish[]

This fish type is created when a player matches 4 or 5 purple jelly candies in a square or a "P", "Q" shape. The number of candy fish released is equal to the number of Purple jelly candies used.

Trivia[]

Candy fish cannot be made in Candy Crush Saga. However candy fish can be created by matching in a 2x2 square, though it is officially applied on 24 February 2025. However, on that game, it is called Jelly Fish, and there is no cyan, purple, and light green color of it.
This element can also be made in Candy Crush Jelly Saga and Candy Crush Friends Saga.
