Complete list of fish arriving and leaving in September for Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Critters come and go each month for Animal Crossing players. Some fish are here for a month then gone. Others have a longer shelf life, but are still seasonally based. They also have different spawn times and spawn rates, so any given time and any given day in Animal Crossing could have completely different fish for players to find.

The month of September is right around the corner and that means new fish, new items, new seasonal events and more. Here's a complete list of fish that will be leaving and arriving in the month of September in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
