We have some exciting news!
We are introducing a new special kind of fish, and a new special way to unlock them. The first one of it’s kind is a fish called Loof Lirpa, which is the fish in this picture, a rare tropical hybrid.

There are many fish in Fishao that are hard to catch. This fish has actually been in the game for some time, however, so far no one has caught the Loof Lirpa. It’s a “hidden fish”, which is an old idea we had, but didn’t implement until about a month ago. Hidden fish means that it will become unlocked for you if you perform a certain task. But there will be no notification for the unlocking and you will not see it in your Fishdex until you catch it. That is why we call it “Hidden”. We got inspiration for the idea from the way you access Lost Valley. If people like this idea we will introduce more of them.
Since it’s the first hidden fish, we will tell you how to catch it.
This is how you catch it: At Pinheira Beach there is a fish market. You must run around the Fish Market building 5 times, starting and ending at the door. This unlock lasts for 10 minutes. So you will have 10 minutes to fish for it. After the 10 minutes you can simply run around the building another 5 times to unlock it for 10 more minutes. It doesn’t matter in which direction you circle the building. You just need to pass all corners of the building. Remember to check the time so you know when to renew the unlock.
You can only catch it at Pinheira Beach. This fish is always active, but you have to figure out the bait for yourself 🙂

Houttuynia cordata Thunb. |
Houttuynia cordata, also known as fish mint, fish leaf, rainbow plant, chameleon plant, heart leaf, fish wort, Chinese lizard tail, or bishop's weed, is one of two species in the genus Houttuynia (the other being H. emeiensis). It is a flowering plant native to Southeast Asia.[1] It grows in moist, shady locations.[2]
Growth[edit]
Houttuynia cordata is a herbaceousperennial plant that can grow to 0.6–1 metre (2.0–3.3 ft), spreading up to 1 metre (3.3 ft).[2][1] The proximal part of the stem is trailing and produces adventitious roots, while the distal part of the stem grows vertically. The leaves are alternate, broadly heart-shaped, 4–9 cm (1.6–3.5 in) long and 3–8 cm (1.2–3.1 in) broad. Its flowers are greenish-yellow and borne on a terminal spike 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) long with four to six large white basal bracts.[2][1] It normally blooms in the summer.
Cultivation[edit]
Houttuynia cordata grows in moist to wet soil or slightly submerged in water, as long as it is exposed partially or fully to the sun.[2][1] It can become invasive in gardens and difficult to eradicate. It propagates by division.
It is usually found in one of its cultivated forms in temperate gardens. The 'Chameleon' variety (synonymous with H.cordata 'Court Jester', 'Tricolour', and 'Variegata') is slightly less vigorous than the parent species, with stubbier leaves mottled in both yellow and red. Another common variety, 'Flore Pleno', has masses of white bracts and retains the vigor of the parent species.
Houttuynia cordata has been naturalized in North America.[3]
Usage[edit]
Culinary use[edit]
It is commonly grown as a leaf vegetable, and is used as a fresh herbal garnish.[2] The leaf has an unusual taste that is often described as 'fishy' (earning it the nickname 'fish mint'), so it is not enjoyed as universally as basil, mint, or other more commonly used herbs.[citation needed]
In northeastern India, it is commonly used in salads or cooked with other vegetables, and as a garnish over side dishes.The tender roots can also be ground into chutneys along with dry fish, chilies, and tamarind. It is taken raw as salad and cooked along with fish as fish curry. In Japan and Korea, its dried leaves may be used as a tea.
In Vietnamese cuisine, it is called diếp cá, and it is used with grilled meat and noodle salad dishes.[4] Fish mint may be used as a garnish with several Vietnamese dishes, such as gỏi cuốn stir-fried beef with fish mint salad,[5][6] and bánh xèo.[7]
Zhe'ergen[edit]
Zhé'ěrgēn (Chinese: 折耳根) is the edible rhizome of Houttuynia cordata (Yuxingcao, 鱼腥草 ‘fish smelling leaf’) with a fresh, spicy, peppery flavour that is used in southwestern Chinese cuisine, i.e. that of Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan and western Guangxi. Typically the leaves are eaten in Sichuan and the root in Guizhou. Zhé'ěrgēn fried with cured ‘la rou’ (a dried meat resembling ‘Chinese bacon’) is one of the staple dishes of Guizhou.
Notable uses include:
- part of the extensive fried rice cuisine of Guizhou
- a condiment to migan and mixian noodles when served in broth
- as a component of dipping sauces used with the Shiping and Jianshui tradition of barbecued tofu
- raw consumption as part of cold-tossed salads, when it is most frequently combined with coriander, vinegar, fresh chilli, and soy sauce.
The leaves are also a little peppery and are frequently consumed in the region.
Traditional medicine[edit]
Houttuynia cordata was used in traditional Chinese medicine, including by Chinese scientists in an attempt to treat SARS[8] and various other disorders,[9] although there is no high-quality clinical research to confirm such uses are safe or effective, as of 2018. When administered via injection, H. cordata can cause severe allergic reactions.[10]
Aroma profile[edit]
Chemical compounds that contribute to the aroma of H. cordata include β-myrcene[11][12] and 2-undecanone.[13]
