I missed this animal when they phased this one in an aquarium nearby. Thanks for letting me have my revenge.

The update to the model and animations are amazing - thank you for adding this iconic species to the game.

I love this remake but will you do the same for the China Rockfish ?

Thanks for the french traduction / Merci pour la traduction française

I really like the new model. It looks wonderful and makes a great addition to my massive tank communities.

i mean somethings better then nothing

Funnily enough with the current head it looks a bit like the prehistoric fish Cephalaspis.

I do hope it gets some polishing though, no offence.

I'm sure it's a ray, because:


It's a chondrichthie for sure, since it's not an ratfish or chimera (holocephali).
The gills are on the bottom, thus not a shark.
It can only be a ray.


After a quick search, I've found it belongs to rajiformes, which is inside batoida, a taxa that regroups ALL rays and skates.


Therefore a ray. Common names such as ray or guitarfish hold no value, as what is a ray or a guitarfish is purelly subjective; I speak both french and portuguese and in those language there's no distinction between ray and skates. It's all called ray.



TLDR;, you can call it what you want as those names are arbitrary.

That sounds cool.

So, I'm an avid player of this game, and I'm also a big fan of marine biology. I think the ocean is fascinating, and I want to help teach people a bit about it. I'm making a series of factoids on some of the modded creature in here, and I'm hoping to post a series of these on the megaquarium discord channel.
Bowmouth Guitarfish: This strange carteligious fish is a relative of sharks and rays, and has the traits of both. It gills transport water in an unusual manner, from bottom to bottom, like a ray. However, it still retains pectoral and anal fins. Despite this, it's neither a shark or ray, but a guitarfish.

@fishmansam To be fair I'm not fully satisfied with this fish, might redo it later

what up with its face

I want some bamboo sharks. Please, can you make a mod ? Or a common marlin ?
