4.1 Oceanographer/Limnologist Bloated Fish [Updated]

On patch 4.1 Public Test Realms bloated catches are no longer required for The Oceanographer and The Limnologist (Bloated Smallfish and Trout were finally removed in build 13793). This will make these achievements far easier. Patch 4.1 also adds fish to The Steam Pools (near Feralas) - mostly Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish and Raw Mithril Head Trout.

    now they talk about removing some bloated fish. just finished my Limnologist achievement the other day :)

    and only missing the summer bass on Oceanographer.

    I am kind of happy they are removing Bloated Salmon from the list. The achievement hunter in me cringes that I most likely won't get the achievement pre-nerf.

    Also I went on to the ptr today and was fishing in the new ZG and seems to have updated to Cata fish. Striped Lurker and Sharptooth being most common with some volatile water thrown in to the mix.

    New here and also wanted to say that I love the site !

    Stacy (or anyone else) - Is there a third fish catch in Zul'Gurub, or is it just Striped Lurker, Sharptooth and Volatile Water? Any changes in Zul'Aman? I'd test this myself, but I don't have a high enough gear level to enter.

    I fished a little on the PTR today. These are my catches:

    Zul Gurub:
    11 Striped Lurker
    4 Sharptooth
    1 Volatile Water
    4 Blackbelly Mudfish

    Zul Aman:
    11 Striped Lurker
    16 Sharptooth
    1 Volatile Water
    11 Blackbelly Mudfish

    I saw no pools in both instances.

    Thanks Bertax. Instinct is roughly 50% Sharptooth, 30% Striped Lurker, 15% Blackbelly Mudfish, 5% Volatile Water (which is the standard pattern for Cataclysm open water).
