# The Pantry
_The room of your house where food, decorations, eggs and resting fish are kept._
## What is in it
The Pantry is a big cupboard in a small room of your house. Open it with 8, the Pantry button in the dock or the aquarium's menu; what you own but haven't placed also waits on the Owned filter of [Build & Buy](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/shop). Its doors stand open:
- The top shelves hold jars of food, each filled to how much is left. The flake tin and the medicine box sit on a shelf on the wall.
- Worms are made in the [Workshop](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/workshop) under your aquarium, in its culture drawer, and land in their jar here.
- The middle shelves hold decorations and plants, copies stacked. Whatever you buy in [Build & Buy](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/shop) and don't place straight away waits here.
- [Gifts](https://fishies.lol/wiki/mechanics/gifts) from other keepers land here too; eggs sit in the tray on the shallow shelf. The drawers below hold your floors, your Rooms and big decorations, and open to show what is inside.
- The delivery crate by the door, with a tag while something new is in it.
## Taking things out
Point at something to see its name; click or tap it to pick it up and go back to the aquarium with it in hand. A jar gets the Feed tool ready with that food, a decoration or an egg is ready to place, a floor or a Room goes on. Hold or right-click for its card. Placing is free, because it's already paid for. Drag, use the wheel or the arrow keys to look up and down the shelves and across to a second cupboard, and the magnifier finds anything by name, in the drawers too.
Every food looks the same wherever you meet it: its jar, filled to what is left (flake is its tin), in the Pantry, the Feed tool's food row, the shop's food packs and the auto-feeder.
A thing's card shows it large on its shelf and, at a glance, how full its jar is or how long it stays fresh. Below its main action come what it does and packs to buy more. On a phone held sideways the card lies on its side and its actions stay in view.
## How much it holds
Nothing in the Pantry has a limit: jars hold any amount and a new jar always has a place, and what the shelves have no room for waits in a drawer. Jar sizes and extra shelves were removed in October 2026 and what they cost was refunded. Selling something from the Pantry gives you half its price back.
With the Freezer researched, a jar of live food can go into the freezer from its card. Its freshness clock stops for up to 14 days, four jars at most. Thawing takes 10 minutes, then Take out puts the food back in its jar.
## Expedition goods
Materials and hearts are kept in your Pantry. Materials stack by the gram and carry no rarity, while a heart keeps the rarity it was found with. For now they are kept safe for crafting to come.
- [Trench](https://fishies.lol/wiki/places/trench): Lantern Moss, Abyss Salt and the heart Abyss Glowstone.
- [Vents](https://fishies.lol/wiki/places/vents): Ember Kelp, Vent Minerals and the heart Ember Opal.
## Holding aquariums
Beside the worm corner stand small holding aquariums for fish you want to keep without keeping them in your main aquarium. One aquarium for 3 fish is free; a second comes at level 15 for 5,000 coins, and a bigger stand at level 30 for 20,000 coins makes each one hold 6. Click one to put a fish in or take one out.
A resting fish stops: no hunger, no growth, no change in quality, no breeding. It comes out exactly as it went in, so a holding aquarium is a place to keep a fish, not to farm one. Legendary and adopted fish stay home.
