Inspired by the meta wishlist by @random goat , I want to sum up the most important aquatic animals for people (which currently don't fit game mechanics), especially with all discussion of aquatic species.
This could help us see which animals are most required for aquariums, for future updates and for inspiration, and for the Aquarium game discussion.
I will later sum up the animals in a list like the meta-wishlist.
The rules:
The list will be updated once a week.
Assuming most of you are not fish nerds, here is a list of the roster of Megaquarium, for inspiration: https://www.neoseeker.com/megaquarium/Fish_List
This could help us see which animals are most required for aquariums, for future updates and for inspiration, and for the Aquarium game discussion.
I will later sum up the animals in a list like the meta-wishlist.
The rules:
- Must be water dwelling animals
- Semi-aquatic animals (pelicans, otters, sea turtles...) are allowed
