The Giveaway Thread - Week 46

I'm going to start analyzing the fish of the New Horizons. There is a snapping turtle which are known to be quite aggressive and are found in the river. They are nocturnal so I predict they will be available around the 4pm - 9am cycle that most bugs and fish in Animal Crossing seem to appear in. I do think they appear in summer although lets see if Nintendo wants them to be available in spring and fall. :]
The rainbowfish is colourful fish in the Indian Ocean, near the Equator. They should be around the summer time and diurnal! They are almost 12cm so...bitterling to crucian carp size.
Now the golden trout, is...judging by the name and some sources, is a protected species so expect this thing to be rare. They can be around a foot in length which I can suspect is (around) the same size as the sweetfish or turtles.
Ranchu goldfish is a special goldfish in Japan that is one of those fat ones, like they're diamond in shape. :] Despite them looking cute and all...they seem to be rare and highly standarded (that's a weird word I made up) that they will probably be rare in Animal Crossing as well. I expect them to be the smallest size for the fish.
Tilapia seem to be somewhat common to uncommon in my understanding based on some sources that explain their heavy market, not much scarcity in their natural habitats and try to predict where they appear in. :P Now, they seem to be ranging from 40cm - 60cm, but really depends on the type of species! I think that they are supposed to be somewhat large...not arapaima large! I think around black bass - pike large though I'm learning more towards a black bass size. These things are diurnal so they should be available during the daytime, most likely all year or so.
Betta a is widely colourful group of fish like a guppy and they seem...$10 - $20, oh my. Ok, so they can possibly be an expensive fish. As for if they're easily farmed and they're scarcity, the IUCN Red List made them endangered so...rip you. :P Now, I don't know if what type of betta they are so...:P I did find that they are found in tropical climates (mostly around Indonesia) so they should be a summer fish.

Sturgeon, I wrote is an exception. I've found that they are both a freshwater and saltwater fish. I expect them to be at the estuary, the body of water that transitions from any body of saltwater to freshwater. They can grow up to 10-11 ft. so I expect them to be the largest size. Maybe they're like a king salmon. ;] I do expect them to be rare and expensive like most larger fish. Fun fact, their living ancestors that have separated into other groups are gars and coelacanths so that's interesting to see. They are, as I've seen, winter fish by my guess. :P

Barreleye have the eyes facing front while other fish have them at the side. These things are ugly as heck. :P I'll give you this as I literally can't find much info, they appear from tropical to temperate climates in the oceans. This can mean, around summer (tropical) to temperate (which can be spring or autumn). Possibly spring - fall season? I don't know. :P As for size, it depends on what that barreleye is based on. If it is based on the javelin spookfish, it can reach up to 50 cm but other species can appear under 20 cm. If it is a javelin spookfish, they can be sea bass size or larger! If it's another species, it can be smaller, maybe a olive flounder size or something.
Anchovy are tiny, hehe, seemingly 10cm - 20cm, aka 0.33 - 0.66ft for you americans. :P That means, I can suspect they're not like...sea butterfly small but instead about the size of your horse mackerel or even up to a dab. Now, they appear in cooler waters, most likely some kind of winter fish. :}
If you've played Harvest Moon: Animal Parade which is no one ;-;, the Mahi Mahi is a tropical fish that is big. You'll know by it's huge forehead. They are 3ft - 5ft, I've seen. They are (most likely) the largest size for an ocean fish, blue marlin size. They should be diurnal summer fish. Like...July - September fish around 9am - 5pm.
Suckerfish are remoras! Remoras in real life latch on to larger animals (like a shark) and they both create a mutual symbiotic relationship, having the sharks be cleaned by the remora and the shark making food for the remora. If there's sharks, there's remoras. :} I predict they're summer fish, around the same time as a shark to kind of symbolize that kind of symbiotic relationship. They can be 30 - 120cm which is about 1 - 4ft. :0 That means they can be olive flounder size to a sea bass size or bigger D:

Yep, a giraffe stag is one of those beetles, a stag beetle that is blackish with a tiny hint of brown. I feel like these are mostly fruit tree beetles and not palm trees. These beetles are huge along with strong. Of course, they should be available during summer nights.
Unlike other moths, the Madagascan sunset moth is diurnal despite the name which I thought would be crepuscular. Anyway, these are incredibly vivid, having it's peak season around spring to summer though it is available anytime during the year. Though I think it's due to Madagascar having a more tropical climate unlike other areas where they're too cold to sustain these moth's needs. I've found that these moths rely on cedar trees though I doubt Nintendo will make them spawn near cedar trees unless...:P
Catacanthus is a genus of these insects, stinkbugs. The Man-faced Stinkbug is native to Asia and can vary autumnal colours with some I've seen being yellow or orange with black spots. Besides that, I can't really find any info. I do infer that these are not winter bugs and more spring/summer-ish but that's my prediction.
The Rosalia batesi beetle is...what I've seen, a light blue longhorn beetle covered in black spots that I believe is more summer-ish. (don't quote me on that) Other than that, this is another I can't find much info about :P
Damselflies are like dragonflies, especially their life cycle being that, the mother lays the eggs onto a watering plant that the nymphs (larvae) are spending their time in. Hard to pick which damselfly is which so I'll choose the light blue one, the Beautiful demoiselle. Like in real life, these damselflies appear over water like rivers, ponds and streams over summer days.
A paper kite butterfly, also called ze rise peiper is a light coloured butterfly living in the tropical southeast Asia, the Philippines, Taiwan and the southern Ryukyu islands which then, I can infer, are summer time bugs. They should be diurnal summer bugs. :]
The giant water bug, you might have seen on Brave Wilderness...don't judge...is also called a toe biter. So yeah, these things can be nasty. Despite this...I think they're not really like bees or tarantulas...actually scratch that. I kinda think these are gonna be harmful bugs so yep :P They are gonna be big tho, some species being less than an inch to some about 4 inches. Still tho...toe biters.
Making a comeback from the gamecube version, the great purple emperors should follow...at least most of the characteristics from the original. Like, they're rare and summer bugs. And now that acres are gone, they should be easier to catch :P
Nintendo...give us the actual name >;/ Blue weevil beetles are gonna be up to my interpretation because there is no actual weevils named that. Uhh...Rhigus nigrosparsus. Beautiful. These are in tropical climates of South America so I expect these to be summer bugs, once again. Whether diurnal or nocturnal, I would say these are nocturnal, up to my interpretation tho!
Common bluebottles are blue-ish butterflies with blackish edges. These are swallowtails and are diurnal around the tropical areas. Maybe they are spring - summer bugs, idk :P
