Untameable Cave
The Coelacanth (see-luh-kanth) is a small fish and one of the most, if not the very most, common 
Creatures survivors can encounter in ARK, as well the easiest source of 
Raw Fish Meat to farm. It was first added in 
ARK: Survival Evolved on its early release.
Basic Info
Dossier
This section is intended to be an exact copy of what the survivor Helena Walker, the author of the dossiers, has written. There may be some discrepancies between this text and the in-game creature.

Species
Coelacanth nutritia
TimeCretaceous-Holocene
DietOmnivore?
TemperamentReactive
- Wild
Coelacanth nutritia is one of the few creatures on the Island with a relative which can be found back home. The Coelacanth thrive in the waters around the Island, as well as within rivers and lakes. Unlike most Coelacanths, Coelacanth nutritia meat contains less oil and urea. In fact, it is one of the healthier sources of meat I've yet found. Most Coelacanths are opportunistic feeders that eat anything smaller than itself, likely including baby water snakes, insect and plant life, and perhaps each other?
- Domesticated
While their limited intelligence makes them unsuitable for taming, Coelacanths provide a viable source of meat for coastal or water-dwelling tribes. Many a day has been spent fishing by the water's edge, often with surprising results, as Coelacanths often have consumed discarded garbage that is sometimes of great value. Due to their small size, though, a larger tribe would require a significant number of Coelacanths to feed itself.

Behavior
Coelacanths are the Arks’ generic fish, plain and simple. Harmless, they will lazily swim around until provoked. At that point, they will attempt to swim away but not always succeed.
Appearance
Coelacanths are lobe-finned fish, with rounded heads and eight fins. Unlike their dark blue and black real life counterparts, the coelacanths of ARK come in a variety of colours.

This section displays the Coelacanth's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Coelacanth. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Coelacanth will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.
- before scorched earth, the coelacanth was the only creature to naturally spawn with any of the primary and secondary colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple.
This information can be used to alter the Coelacanth's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID> in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6 would color the Coelacanth's "body" magenta.

Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Coelacanth.
General
Coelacanth are frail and fairly slow. Hunting them is easy. If you have a 
Bronto, going near a water source and simply swinging that way once or twice is a good way to farm these, considering the huge range of its attack, but simply punching them with your fists can work just as well.
Strategy
Coelacanth are extremely docile and passive, meaning they will not attack the player. Simply going into the water with spear at the ready is strategy enough. When you begin to attack them, they start to swim away, so if you have no level ups in Movement Speed or Oxygen chasing them may be a challenge. However, they still swim slowly enough while fleeing, that they can be caught up to easily.
Weaponry
Coelacanth have low health, and are easily killed with just a 
Spear. (If killed with a Spear, the Coel will be automatically picked up by the player.)
Dangers
Coelacanth by themselves do not pose a threat to the player, however other creatures, such as the 
Piranha, and drowning are things to look out for.
Weakness
They can't do anything to defend themselves and are killed easily; lower level Coelacanth can be simply one shot with a throw of a Spear or just killed with your bare hands. The only defense it is considered to have is its instinct to swim away quickly.
Taming
Coelacanth can be 'tamed' using a Fish Basket. While they can level, they do not eat from the trough. Just put food (meat or fish) in their inventory and force feed, if necessary. Note that while they can be tamed, there is no practical reason at this time to do so, as all their uses can be achieved just as easily with their Wild counterparts. This could change with future updates, or as players experiment more.
Utility
Roles
Food Source: Leveling up Coelacanths will basically fatten them up and provide the survivor with a steady source of fish meat.
Pet: Coelacanths of all colors can add life to a base with a pond or other small water source.
Pearls: Coelacanths yield small quantities 
Silica Pearls when harvested by an 
Otter, as well as occasionally 
Black Pearls.
Notes/Trivia
For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Coelacanth, see the relevant Wikipedia article.
- In real life, Coelacanth's meat is actually bad for humans, as it contains oil, wax, urea, and other compounds that are hard to be digested. This could cause diarrhea. This is pointed out in the dossier, which states meat of Coelacanth nutritia contains less oil and urea than those of other Coelocanth species making it more suitable for eating.
- As of patch v180.0, when you kill a Coelacanth or Piranha with a spear, the fish is instantly grabbed so that you can stay out of the water.
- Leveling Melee Damage (on either yourself or your Creatures) will increase the Raw Fish Meat yield of Coelacanths.
- Coelacanth are often a cause of severe lag for many players because they can spawn in enormous numbers in the rivers and lakes further inland. Therefore, a way to reduce lag for many local games is to lower the Dino Count from 1.0 to about 0.5.
- As of patch v235, Coelacanths come in different sizes, giving different amounts of meat depending on their size.
- Coelacanths do not produce
Feces. - The Coelacanth, along with
Leech, Piranha, 
Sabertooth Salmon and 
Trilobite, became tamable with the Fish Basket introduced in Aberration. - The Coelacanth is one of several creatures that spawn on all maps, along with the
Carno, 
Equus, 
Parasaur, 
Raptor, and others. It also holds the distinction of being the only fully aquatic Creature on Scorched Earth. - Coelacanths in ARK are not assigned genders and thus cannot be bred by players.
- Coelacanth will get beached sometimes when trying to swim away when they are attacked; getting beached instantly kills them.
- Coelacanths make the old
Pteranodon noises when hurt and killed.
