The Infected Whale in the Roblox game Steal A Fish (developed by MY FISH FRIEND) is a Cosmic-rarity creature that costs $1,000,000,000 ($1B) and generates $500,000 per second. Beyond serving as a high-tier mid-game earner, it is an essential sacrifice requirement to complete Rebirth Level 8. Because Cosmic units spawn infrequently and remain vulnerable to rival players, securing and defending an Infected Whale is a key milestone in your base progression.
Infected Whale Stats and Overview
Data recorded across game guides and community index listings outlines the core specifications for the Infected Whale:

How to Get an Infected Whale
There are two primary methods to acquire an Infected Whale in Steal A Fish: purchasing it from the river conveyor or stealing it from another player's base.
1. River Conveyor Spawns
Units float through the central river conveyor outside player bases. Because the Infected Whale belongs to the Cosmic tier, its natural spawn rate is relatively low.
- Guaranteed Cosmic Timers: The game runs periodic server countdowns that guarantee Cosmic, Mythic, or Deep spawns. Monitoring the Cosmic timer gives you the best window to watch the conveyor.
- Spawn Interval: Community documentation notes that Cosmic-tier spawns appear rarely outside of server timer events, roughly every 30 minutes during normal play.
- Preparation: Keep at least $1,000,000,000 in liquid cash ready. When an Infected Whale appears, competing players can snatch or purchase it quickly, so you must act immediately.
2. Stealing from Other Bases
If your budget is tight or conveyor luck is low, you can infiltrate rival bases:
- Scout other players' bases to locate an unguarded Infected Whale on their display floor.
- Use weapons such as the Freeze Gun, Slaps, or Flintlock to neutralize the owner or bypass base defenders.
- Note that fish carrying the Unstealable mutation cannot be taken. If a player owns an Unstealable variant or keeps their base force field active, theft will fail.
Using the Infected Whale for Rebirth Level 8
Rebirth in Steal A Fish upgrades your base, grants permanent stat boosts, and unlocks advanced store weapons. Unlike games that wipe your entire inventory, rebirthing in Steal A Fish consumes only the specific fish and cash required for that tier.
Rebirth Level 8 demands the following:
- Cash Requirement: $250,000,000,000 ($250B)
- Fish Requirements:
- 1x Infected Whale (Cosmic)
- 1x Robolodon (Mythic, costs $150M)
- 1x Axolotl (Epic, costs $200k)
Rebirth Level 8 Rewards
Completing this rebirth consumes your Infected Whale, Robolodon, and Axolotl while awarding:
- +2 Hours Offline Earn Limit
- 1.05x Walk Speed multiplier
- +30 Seconds Forcefield duration
- Invisible Cape unlocked in the shop (allows sneaking into enemy bases undetected)
- 1.1x Money Multiplier boost
If you hold a mutated version (such as a Void or Golden Infected Whale) alongside a standard one, be cautious: the game may consume your best variant first if placed in priority slots.
Protecting Your Infected Whale
Because high-tier fish are prime targets for other players in public servers, defending your investment requires proactive base management:
- Base Force Fields: Activate your base barrier to lock out intruders while collecting cash. Rebirth levels extend the duration of your shield.
- Private Servers: Private servers for Steal A Fish are free on Roblox. Grinding for expensive rebirth requirements like the Infected Whale inside a private server removes the risk of other players stealing your fish before you complete Rebirth 8.
- Intrusion Alarms and Base Defense Weapons: Weapons unlocked through earlier rebirth levels (such as the Freeze Gun at Rebirth 5 or the Taser at Rebirth 7) allow you to stun intruders attempting to take your fish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does rebirthing remove all my fish along with the Infected Whale?
No. Steal A Fish only deducts the specific fish required for that level (in Rebirth 8: one Infected Whale, one Robolodon, and one Axolotl) and the required $250B cash. All other fish in your base remain untouched.
Can an Infected Whale have mutations?
Yes. Fish spawned from the conveyor can roll random mutations, including Void, Gold, Magma (0.5% chance), or Unstealable (7.5% chance). An Unstealable Infected Whale cannot be taken by rivals in public servers.
Where does the Infected Whale rank compared to Deep and Secret fish?
The Infected Whale is a Cosmic fish, placing it above Mythic and Legendary tiers. However, it ranks below the Deep rarity (such as Mutated El Gran Maja or World Eater) and Secret-tier fish, which generate billions per second or scale off a percentage of your best base earner.
