Hi, 


When I first got a frozen lantern fish I placed it in my museum to melt and I was able to add it to my tank. I've now got a second one and repeated the same interaction however when it reached 0% it wasn't added to my inventory as a fish and instead has just remained on the base. 


Is this a bug? I tried asking others on Discord and it was suggested I right click on the fish but that doesn't seem to do anything. 

Step by step of the bug
Step 1
I placed the frozen exhibit in my museum.
Step 2
I waited until it reached 0%
Step 3
Rather than it automatically placing in my inventory, it just did nothing

Hello, Sorry about this! The fish needs to be picked up before it's health reaches 0, it won't get added to your inventory automatically. In your image, it looks like the dead state hasn't activated properly, so you will need to sell the exhibit and find another to tray and get the fish.

I remember seeing you asking about this on the discord, did you post the screenshot there as well? Because IIRC, that’s not what it’s supposed to look like when it defrosts. People were telling you to click the fish because it was supposed to separate, not hover there in place. 


I don’t think any part returns to your inventory automatically, however, you have to be keeping your eye on the fish so you can grab it before it dies, after it pops out.

Yes I posted the image on the discord but it seems to have turned it into a spoiler. I was watching it the whole time it was defrosting, and when the thing got to 0% the fish started bouncing around and I immediately tried clicking on it. It definitely automatically added to my inventory with the first one the first time I did it as I hadn't clicked anything. 
I tried getting another one late last night from another expedition and the exact same thing happened again and despite clicking on it when it was bouncing, nothing happened other than it then turned into the above.

Just seen TwoPointChizel's reply. Will keep trying with more but it definitely hasn't given me the option to click on the fish before the frozen exhibit gets to 0% and then it won't let me click when the fish jumps. Will keep trying :)
