Once again, another neat list. I was always wondering about some of the fish of what tanks they were in. Thanks for providing this. I will definitely use this as a reference if I play again. :)
 
Glad to help! Saltwater fish are a bit hard to measure since the blue messes the terrain color.
 
Again, thank you making these lists. I always loved the one of the Goldfish, whenever I restarted my
town and started to design my house, I tried to catch a Goldfish as I find both the fish and it's tank
adorable. The one of the Sea Butterfly is also pretty cool, kinda reminds me of a lava lamp.
 
Thanks! Yeah, I like the really different tanks. The goldfish is a nice addition. Sea horses and sea butterflies seem cuter in those tanks.
 
The sea horse is so adorable in his little cute tank! I often gift a few to my villagers cause it looks so nice in their homes.
I never saw the sea butterfly though. Gotta find it!
 
Sea butterflies look beautiful, just floating. Unfortunately they're at winter, I think starting December. :[
 
Well now you just need to do a list for the diving creatures (crabs, shellfish, sea stars, octopus, etc.)
 
I don't know to be honest. Maybe (if possible) I can work on an art forgery guide or a bug/fish/deep-sea creature guide.
 
unfortunately those are already pages on the acnl wiki and a few other sites
 
:0 Idea. So, this could be a really weird idea but possibly a list explaining the bugs/fish/deep-sea creatures in real life. A evening cicada is higurashi which comes out at dawn or evening especially at the end of summer.
 
There's a thought. I've been working off/on making a photo list of Pascal's sayings when you give him a scallop. No clue how many different ones he's got
