July sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Animal Crossing games have a very realistic rotation in terms of the presence of certain flora and fauna in the game. Most of the gameplay elements in Animal Crossing are seasonal, which means that they are available only during certain times of the year.

As the month of July has just begun, a lot of new sea creatures will be gradually arriving in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and some other creatures will be taking their leave.

For those with an inclination towards catching sea creatures, July will be a pretty ripe time, as they will get to catch some exquisite specimen and make some good money.
