Accessing Method in TestCase

I am trying to test a method from one of my subclasses and I keep getting the error "cannot find symbol - method addMoney()." I've never had issues seeing methods while testing before. This is my test. 
public void setUp()
    {
        island = new Island();
        bob = new Minnow();
    }
    public void testAddMoney()
    {
        island.add(bob, 2, 2);
        run(island, 51);
        bob.addMoney();
        assertEquals(11, island.getMoney());
    }
and here is the method that I am trying to test in my subclass 
public void addMoney()
    {
       Island island = (Island) getWorld();
       island.addFunds(1);
    }
and the code in my world subclass 
public int addFunds(int funds)
    {
        total = total + funds;
        if(food <= 0)
        {
            return 0;
        }
        else
        {
            return funds;
        }
    }

Is the 'addMoney' method in the Minnow class (or a class from which it is an extension of)?

When you create the bob variable what type do you set it to (e.g. int, double, String, Actor, Minnow, etc.)? To access the methods in Minnow it has to be type Minnow or something that extends from it, no parents of it.

Try changing line 10 to: 
((Minnow)bob).addMoney();
