The Dab is a fish in the flatfish group. It can be found in the ocean during the winter months, and is the smaller, more common cousin of the Olive Flounder. In some games, the dab is mistaken for the Olive Flounder.
It first appeared with the Olive Flounder in Animal Forest e+, where the two fish were the same shadow size. As they were the same size as Sea Bass in Animal Forest e+, it can sometimes be difficult to find either of these flatfish.
Donating to the Museum
As with all fish and bugs in Animal Crossing series, the dab can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, the curator. When donating, Blathers will tell the player a little bit about the donation. Below is what he has to say in each game.
In Animal Forest e+
In Wild World
In City Folk
"By the by... Just so you know, eyes on a dab are positioned on the right, but on the left on a flounder. When young, these fish are shaped like ordinary fish, but... As they mature, they start becoming flatter in preparation for adulthood! What professionalism! You can tell this is a very responsible fish, wot?"
The dab can be found in the tank at the back of the room, with other sea fish.
In New Leaf
In New Leaf an information board in the aquarium will list information about this fish.
"Dabs generally have both eyes on the right side of their body, though there are some exceptions. Both types of dabs begin in infancy with an eye on each side of their body. As dabs grow, the eye on the left migrates to the right, though sometimes it doesn't move at all. Dabs dig in the sand to hide, which allows their eyes to stick up a bit to watch for danger. Because they live off of bugs and small creatures, their mouths are small, containing narrow, dull teeth."
