Reaching max rebirth in Steal A Fish on Roblox requires progressing through escalating cash milestones and submitting specific fish species while retaining the rest of your base collection. Unlike games that wipe your entire inventory on rebirth, Steal A Fish only consumes the designated target fish and the required in-game currency. Each tier rewards your base with money multipliers, extended offline earnings, additional fish slots, walk speed boosts, defense forcefield extensions, and specialized weapons.
How the Rebirth System Works
The rebirth mechanic in Steal A Fish functions as an inventory trade-in system rather than a complete base reset. When initiating a rebirth, the system checks whether your current balance meets the cash requirement and whether your base holds the exact fish required for that level.
Key mechanics observed in gameplay include:
- Targeted Consumption: Only the fish specified in the rebirth prompt are taken from your slots. The remaining fish in your base stay intact.
- Multiple Copies Priority: If you own duplicate copies of a required species—such as standard and mutated variants—the system selects from your available stock. Players managing valuable mutated variants often move prized fish to an alternate account or a protected vault slot to avoid accidental trade-ins.
- Unstealable Fish: Fish with the Unstealable mutation or specific Robux purchases stay in your base across standard gameplay and cannot be stolen by visiting players, but species matching rebirth criteria are still eligible for turn-in if not isolated.
- Base Expansion: Rebirth 3 unlocks the second floor of your house along with free floor slots, while subsequent rebirths progressively expand standard slots and vault space.

Higher Rebirth Tiers and Content Updates
Following the 3.0 update, the developers increased the progression cap to 10 rebirths and introduced higher-tier content, including the Deep fish rarity, Magma mutations, and secondary storage rooms.
Subsequent game updates introduced the Fish Vault room and higher rebirth requirements observed during player gameplay:
- Rebirth 9 and Rebirth 10: Introduced requirements involving Cosmic and Deep rarity fish, including targets such as Bloop Void, Mouth Titan, and World Eater.
- Fish Vault Milestones: Later updates expanded endgame rebirths to reward vault slots (+2 Vault Slots per rebirth level). Observed requirements include combinations of Star Striders, Aurora Whale, Seekers, and Blood Moon fish.
Because patch adjustments periodically alter high-tier fish earnings and price tags, cash targets for the highest rebirth tiers can vary between game versions.
Base Defense and Expansion Tools
Rebirthing unlocks defensive items and progression perks that protect your collection in public servers:
- Weapons and Tools: Unlocking tools like the Flintlock, Freeze Gun, Ice Slap, Taser, and Invisible Cape allows players to defend their fish stashes or raid opposing bases.
- Forcefield Buffs: Extending forcefield duration increases the temporary protection timer when entering servers or managing your plots.
- Fish Vault: Acts as additional storage separate from your standard base floors, giving players extra capacity to secure high-value fish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does rebirthing in Steal A Fish wipe all my fish?
No. Rebirthing only removes the exact fish listed in that rebirth tier's recipe and the required cash amount. All other fish on your display floors remain in your base.
When do you unlock the second floor in Steal A Fish?
The second floor is unlocked immediately upon completing Rebirth 3. Reaching this milestone opens up the upstairs area and grants the first set of free upper floor slots.
Can unstealable fish be lost during a rebirth?
If an unstealable fish matches the species required for your next rebirth tier and is sitting in an active slot, the turn-in process will consume it. Players should keep backup copies or store critical unstealable units safely before activating a rebirth.
How do I unlock the Invisible Cape?
The Invisible Cape can be unlocked naturally in-game by completing Rebirth 8, which requires $250 billion, 1x Infected Whale, 1x Robolodon, and 1x Axolotl. It is also available as a standalone game pass in the shop for 799 Robux.
