Novice-level Fisherman villagers have a 50% chance to sell a bucket of cod for 3 emeralds.
Usage
Pressing use with a bucket of fish places a water source block, and spawns the corresponding fish back into the world, leaving an empty bucket in the player”s inventory. For buckets of tropical fish, the fish and its details (color, size, name) are kept. Placing a bucket of fish in the Nether causes the same particles to appear that generate when a normal water bucket is placed in the Nether, and the fish is spawned alone.
Fish caught in buckets then released do not despawn, unlike fish that spawn naturally in oceans.
If a bucket of fish is inside a dispenser, the dispenser spawns the fish and water block in front of it upon activation.
If a bucket of fish is named a certain name through an anvil, the fish inside display that name as if it were named with a name tag, making fish the only mobs that can exist in item form, and be named without a name tag.
Bucket of tropical fish
Tropical fish also have assigned names that can be seen after capture, so that smaller text under the item name is displayed showing the fish name, similar to the text that displays enchantments under enchanted items. Their colors are mostly named according to the colored block names, though with a few exceptions:
WhiteOrangeMagentaSkyYellowLimeRoseGraySilverTealPlumBlueBrownGreenRed
The base color comes first, and if the pattern color is different, it comes after that. Lastly, the fish bucket is given a name according to the shape and pattern of the fish:
Flopper | Glitter | Betty | |||
Stripey | Blockfish | Clayfish |

Snooper | Brinely | ||||
SunStreak | Dasher | Spotty |
