Jelly Fish Red

Jelly fish (also known as Swedish fish in parts of the game) is one of the special candies in Candy Crush Saga.

Appearance[]

Jelly fish used to appear only in jelly levels, but starting from level 41, it can appear in any level type. Since said level, they can also appear in marmalade. For the first part of the game, they can only be seen during the jelly level's Sugar Crush or as a booster. Prior to the removal and retirement of mystery candies in April 2021, mystery candies had a chance of producing jelly fish starting in Chocolate Barn.

Since level 2406, jelly fish may appear by hitting the bobber.

It is impossible to create jelly fish by matching normal candies.

Properties[]

Jelly fish are like normal candies in that they will have a normal colour and will need to be activated. When activated, they will swim off the screen, while an ominous tune plays, three new jelly fish swim onto the screen and eat three squares at random that contain a target object. Usually, the target is jelly, such that each hit will reduce one layer, but in some levels, they might target another object according to a priority list of the level.

If there is jelly under a blocker (including cake bomb), the fish will go under the blocker and take a layer off the jelly and the blocker. Liquorice swirls and liquorice locks are exceptions that they would not take out as they only take out the blocker but not jelly. (On mobile, they would not take out jelly under the blocker, even when it's a liquorice swirl or lock).

If there are fewer than three targets on the board, then the jelly fish will eat a candy at random.

Unless the booster is used or Candy Cannon is dispensing it (since level 39), they will never spawn, so use wisely.

During the Sugar Crush for jelly levels, for every move left, three jelly fish of random colours swim onto the screen and eat candies at random, giving 1,020 points. It will give an additional 500 points if it eats a candy bomb. However, for those jelly fish staying in the field before counting remaining moves (or spawned from bobbers), they will only eat candies and give 20 points.

Combinations[]

Like other special candies, jelly fish can be mixed with other special candies to give even bigger effects. These valid combinations will go through liquorice locks and turn the candy below into something else.

Jelly Fish Special Candy Effect
Jelly Fish Blue Striped red v
Jellyfish striped

The combination "jelly fish + striped candy"

Causes three striped jelly fish to swim onto the screen and every candy they land on is turned into a striped candy, unless it lands on a blocker or nothing. The candy is also detonated.
Wrapped2 (trans)
Jellyfish wrapped

The combination "jelly fish + wrapped candy"

Causes three wrapped jelly fish to swim onto the screen and every candy they land on is turned into a wrapped candy, unless it lands on a blocker or nothing. The candy is also detonated.
Colour Bomb new
Jellyfish colorbomb

The combination "jelly fish + colour bomb" (old)

All other candies with the same colour of the jelly fish in the mix will transform into jelly fish, then activate and search targets immediately. However, they will not split into three.
Old
Causes three dotted jelly fish to swim onto the screen. If it lands on a candy, the candy it eats will turn into a jelly fish, then those activate and act normally from there. If all three dotted fish land on a candy, in total, 12 jelly fish will swim on. If it lands on a blocker or a jelly without candy above, nothing will happen.
Jelly Fish Blue For unknown reasons, the two don't mix.

This may be because many jelly levels have several jelly fish adjacent to one another.

CoconutWheel Will not mix and is an invalid move. They appear rarely, and this arrangement is only possible in a few levels.

Trivia[]

  • The key to winning levels 285 and 342 is mixing a jelly fish and a colour bomb.
  • Although striped fish, wrapped fish and dotted (colour bomb) fish can only be made by combining jelly fish with their respective special candies it is possible that striped, wrapped and colour bomb jelly fish may naturally appear on the board or in blockers in a later level.
  • Currently, the jelly fish + jelly fish and jelly fish + coconut wheel combinations don't exist, though they may be added at a later date, similarly to how liquorice shells couldn't be destroyed with the lollipop hammer at first, but now, it can after an update.
    • For the liquorice shells, jelly fish avoid them even if there are jellies below. The same happened on the magic mixer, but only on old mobile versions.
  • There is truly a glitch when you make a move which triggers a jelly fish, after the jelly fish finished his actions, if you wait for a hint, the game will give you a matchless move. It does not happen on mobile.
  • Since an unknown update on mobile, jelly fish can hit liquorice shells.
  • If the fish will eat a candy which is near to them, they will swim very slowly. If it goes to a candy which is far, it will swim fast. In any case, they will swim for the same time length.
  • Jelly Fish may look like hard candy, although it's likely meant to resemble Swedish Fish, a soft wine gum candy.
  • If you combine a colour bomb with a striped candy, and there are jelly fishes of the same colour of the striped candy on the board, they will not be triggered normally, but will be transformed into striped candies as well. This also happens to combinations with jelly fish.
  • Only one jelly fish can attack one square at a time. This may prove problematic for levels such as level 280.
  • Jelly Fish can also eat other jelly fish left, setting them go, unless the incoming Jelly Fish is with a combination, in which case the combination effect activates first.
  • This is a rare occurrence: If a cascade has stopped during the process of a jelly fish, the fish in action will be counted into a new cascade phase and may form a new sugar drop.
  • After Drizzly Dale was released, jelly fish no longer appear in only jelly levels.
    • It appears in ingredients levels (first appearance in level 1247), moves levels (first appearance in level 1640), timed levels (first appearance in level 1832), mixed levels (first appearance in level 1849) and finally candy order levels (first appearance in level 2185).
  • Jelly Fish appear in Delicious Drifts where they are frozen in a giant ice cube and Paul wants to get them out.
  • Jelly Fish is one of the special items to have appeared as a character in the game. The other item is the candy frog which appears in Glazed Grove.
  • Tiffi eats 500 of these a day because it is good for her joints.
  • In level which contains candy bombs, if jelly fish is activated when the bomb has reached zero, it's counted as game over, although the jelly fish is about to destroy jellies at that move. However, this happens only on web versions.
  • A rare case on the mobile version is that, if too many jelly fish are made from remaining moves, the chance is that some of the fish will land on an empty tile and give exactly 1,000 points. This can be seen in 585 if you use a colour bomb + striped candy comb.
    • Before converting moves into fish, if a remaining jelly fish lands on an empty tile, it scores 0 points.
    • However, on the web version (1132 for example), fish landing on an empty tile will score 0 points, even during Sugar Crush.
  • The title screen of the old mobile version has a red jelly fish among many common candies. It was also the only special candy on that screen.
  • Jelly Fish can eat any kind of candy, but difficult candies are their favourite.
Jelly fish eat locked chocolate

Jelly fish eat three locked chocolate squares with both liquorice lock and chocolate (web)

  • On the web version, if a jelly fish hits a piece of locked chocolate, both the chocolate and the lock will be destroyed at the same time. This does not happen on mobile.
  • Jelly fish can be required as part of the order in candy order levels, starting from level 3000. They are the first element to be required as part of the order on HTML5 only.
  • Striped jelly fish, wrapped jelly fish and colour bomb jelly fish can be found in the files, suggesting the may be able to appear on the starting board in the future. However, it's unlikely they will, since they appear before Dark Chocolate in the tile map code, implying that they were planned to be introduced around 2018, but never were.
  • Striped jelly fish and wrapped jelly fish can destroy candy cobras, however this will cause a glitch where the cobra disappears and does not go to its basket.
  • Regular jelly fish have the tilemap code 049.
  • Jelly fish have the order number "21".
  • Jelly fish can spawn from candy cannons from level 5352.
  • Jelly fish order is required to unlock order locks from Level 7899.
  • Both jelly-order mixed levels and rapids-order mixed levels require jelly fish order in their debut.
  • Jelly fish order is the only order to be introduced in 2017.
  • Jelly fish are one of the elements to be tied to the Bonbon Blitz. Jelly fish bonbon blitz first appears in level 8776.
  • According to a post on King's website, jelly fish will be given a different design in December 2021. Some players didn't get the new design until January 2022.
  • In Candy Crush Soda Saga and Candy Crush Jelly Saga, Jelly Fish actually can be created, by matching candies, not in a row, but in a 2x2 square.
  • Despite technically being a booster candy, jelly fish have become the unofficial 4th special candy in recent years. Unlike their fellow booster candies (coconut wheel, lucky candy, and UFO), and along with the three main special candies (striped candy, wrapped candy, and colour bomb) they can be required for orders, spawn from candy cannons (although lucky candies can as well), are much more likely to appear in any level type, can be spawned by the Party Popper Booster, are tied to the Bonbon Blitz, and appear inside Wonderful Wrappers. None of these things apply to the other booster candies (aside from lucky candies being able to be spawned by cannons). The only thing preventing jelly fish from being a full special candy and not just a booster candy is that it can't be created manually, while the other three special candies can.
