Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Coelacanth babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Coelacanth raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
After hatching or birth, the baby Coelacanth matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
The Coelacanth's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Coelacanth gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
The Coelacanth is an aquatic, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Water group.
Health-wise, the Coelacanth sits at 30 base, making it very frail. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. With 100 base Stamina, the Coelacanth has low stamina reserves. It carries 8 base Weight - very limited carrying capacity.
The Coelacanth roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Defeating one in the wild grants 0.5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
