Bryce Hartmann 20 May 2025

Are you ready to transform a neglected farm plot into a vibrant and prosperous homestead in Stardew Valley? Completing the Community Center bundles in your first year is not just possible, it's a strategic advantage that unlocks significant benefits, including the highly coveted Greenhouse!

This guide offers a streamlined approach to navigating the Community Center bundles, specifically focusing on the Fish Tank bundles, helping you collect the necessary items efficiently and effectively. Forget endlessly casting your line and hoping for the best; we provide the crucial information you need to succeed. This ensures you can contribute towards the overall room reward.

The fish tank is a key area within the Community Center, and its completion hinges on fulfilling a series of fishing-related bundles. These bundles each require specific fish, and knowing where and when to find them is paramount. You cannot simply provide any fish type that you can catch. This guide ensures you have the right fish and avoid wasting time on catches that won't advance your progress. To make it easier for you, we provided a detailed list of fish type requirements for each fishing bundle in Stardew Valley.

The Community Center relies on your generosity. Bundles are donations to the Junimos given via golden scrolls inside the Community Center. When a bundle is complete, the Junimos offer the player a small reward. When all bundles for a particular room in the Community Center are complete, the Junimos grant a special reward that sometimes benefits the entire community. After the player goes to sleep for the day, the junimos complete the overall room reward.

Completing the Fish Tank bundles is crucial if you want to remove all the boulders from the Fish Tank and make it look nice. The fish tank includes six bundles in total. See remixed bundles for the alternate versions.

As you embark on your Stardew Valley journey, keep in mind that the Crab Pot Bundle can be completed at nearly any time. Completing the Minecarts and Vault bundles involves choosing one of the three options above.
