Am I the only fish geek here that cringes when they see this?

Answer: Probably.

Silly Topic? Yeah, I know... but I just have to come out and say it! I almost just wanted to post the screenshots themselves to see if anyone else would "get it", but this will do.



This first one shows guppies and copperband butterflyfish swimming together. The problem? The butterflies are a marine fish while the guppies are freshwater. Not only are they are a freshwater fish, but this color guppy is also not wild but bred into guppies by people.



Same thing here, Discus (from the Amazon River) swimming with Power Blue Tangs (again, marine.) And, again, these discus are not a wild morph but a man-made variant called "Marlboro".

Aion did this same thing, anytime I saw water there would be guppies and flame gobies (marine) swimming together. I wish if they were going to use real fish in these games, they would get it right! Or perhaps just make up their own fish!

Or I'm just a fish snob that needs to get over herself, probably that. :P

Sorry for the silly topic, thought we could use one.

People can be nerds or geeks over plenty of things! I guess we're like dog people, except fewer? :)

Hence the "silly topic" mention, if you think I'm really complaining here, you might need to re-read.

Yes it is, I know a bunch of short immortal women wielding an axe twice their size. As well as lance and a shield thats 5x of their weight.

Totally understandable, of course I know its just a fantasy pixelated world... that's why I mentioned using "made-up" fish instead of models of actual real fish.

But again, this thread was meant to just point out something that doesn't affect gameplay or anything, just wondering if anyone else out there thought the same thing. I guess at least one person (floydly) caught it as well. ;)
