Note: This article was updated on January 31st, 2026, with new traits and mutations in My Fishing Brainrots.
When you’re playing My Fishing Brainrots, you need to know that traits and mutations, plus variants, can completely change how good your units are. For example, a Divine unit with traits can actually make more money than an expensive Divine unit that doesn’t have any traits at all. That’s why knowing how they work is super important if you want to earn more fish. Here are all the traits and mutations in My Fishing Brainrots.
How Traits and Mutations Work in My Fishing Brainrots
In My Fishing Brainrots, traits give units special multipliers that increase how much money they earn after catching the fish. When a unit has a trait, an icon of that particular trait appears above its head. Brainrots with traits cost the same as normal ones, so you don’t need to worry before purchasing them.
Here’s a simple breakdown of what each trait does for you:
| Trait/Mutation | Image | Income Multiplier | How to Get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snowy |  | 1.5x/50% | Snowy Event |
| Sakura |  | 1.6x/60% | Sakura Event |
| Tornado |  | 1.7x/70% | Tornado Event |
| Stinky |  | 1.8x/80% | Stinky Event |
| Lightning |  | 1.9x/90% | Thunderstorm Event |
| Taco |  | 2x/100% | Taco Event |
| Meteor |  | 2x/100% | Meteor Rain Event |
| Blackhole |  | 2x/100% | Blackhole Event |
| Radioactive |  | 2.1x/110% | Radioactive Event |
| Galaxy |  | 2.2x/120% | Galaxy Event |
| Magmatic |  | 2.4x/140% | Magmatic Event |
| Fishing Master |  | 3x/200% and halve brainrot’s fishing time | Spawn an egg anytime |
| Disco |  | 3x/200% and halve brainrot’s fishing time | Spawn an egg anytime during and admin abuse event |
Note: We will update this article with more traits once we find them in-game.
How Variants Work in My Fishing Brainrots
Besides traits, your units can also spawn with different variants. These variants multiply your base income even more. Unlike traits andmutations, all of the brainrots spawning on the belt have a chance to have different mutations. It will change the way they look and also add the icon on top of their head.
Here’s what each variation does:
| Mutation | Image | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | – | 1.0x |
| Gold |  | 1.5x/50% |
| Diamond |  | 2x/100% |
Note: We will update this article with more variants once we find them in-game.
Do Mutations and Variants Work Together?
Mutations give your brainrot specific multipliers that stack on top of each other. Let’s say you have a Tung Tung Sahur that normally makes $100 per fish. If you get a Gold variant, that 1.5x multiplier changes it to $150 per fish instead.
But what happens when you have multiple mutations and a variant at the same time? The multipliers stack together to give you even bigger earnings. For example, a Diamond Stinky Tornado Tung Tung Sahur makes $350 per fish. That’s because Diamond, Stinky, and Tornado combined give you a 250% bonus, which is a 3.5x multiplier total. Since the base Tung Tung Sahur makes $100, you multiply that by 3.5 and get $350 per fish at just level 1.
That’s the complete list of traits and mutations in My Fishing Brainrots. When you’re choosing between two units, pick the one with better traits instead of just looking at the base tier. Focus on building up units with good trait combinations, and you will progress faster than if you just chase expensive units with no traits. Plus, this will help you rebirth faster in the game.
