*AnimalsNotToScale: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. Blue whales are the largest living animals in the world, and this particular specimen... is about as large as an adult guppy, and only slightly larger than a tadpole.
*CrutchCharacter: He's useful for the first few alien attacks in a level, as he can protect your guppies who are still growing from being killed. As you progress, however, this becomes worthless as your economy relies on large guppies and/or non-Guppy fish. Adding to that, he has to contend with Gumbo only a few levels later.



*ObviousRulePatch: In Challenge Mode, Wadsworth falls asleep if the only living fish in your tank are small and medium guppies, preventing the player from creating a scenario where a game over is impossible.

*JokeCharacter: He gives off this impression, what with his absurd design and his snot being the most worthless money type of them all. However, his Sneeze of Power can prove useful when it comes into play.

[[folder: Guppycruncher]]
Guppycrunchers are ground-bound fish that cost 750 dollars. They jump up and eat guppies, and they produce beetles worth 150 dollars.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Beetlemuncher]]
Beetlemunchers are tadpole/frog/whatever things that cost 2000 dollars. They eat beetles the guppycruncher makes. They produce pearls worth 500 dollars.

----

* LovableCoward: He hides in his shell during alien invasions.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Niko]]
Niko is the second pet you obtain. He is an oyster who occasionally produces pearls worth 250 dollars.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Itchy]]

* Expy: He has one in the form of the Peashooter from ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'', where his mouth design is pretty similar to one.
* NewAgeRetroHippie: Downplayed, but the reason why he doesn't produce level 3 food is that the food pills are rich in fat and has boatloads of preservatives, while the level 2 one is organically made.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Clyde]]
Clyde is similar to Stinky in the fact that he collects coins. However, he can move freely around the tank, but is slower than Stinky.
----
* TheDutifulSon: His main reason for working around the tank is because he needs money for his mother's hospital bill.

----
* CreepyGood / DarkIsNotEvil: His codex entry states that people avoid using him because they fear that, him being a product of occult forces, will turn on them. The codex states that he obviously isn't evil because he would drop rat poison if he was.
* CrutchCharacter: He is good for starting in earlier levels where fish are still young and are either incapable of laying coins or can only provide coins worth $15 at a time, but he soon gets outclassed later on when you have multiple fish dropping coins or diamonds at a time.
* DemBones: He is a skeleton fish.
* PerpetualMotionMonster: His main selling point is that he can provide money without the need to eat.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Rufus]]
He is a fiddler crab with one large pincers that has a power level of level 6 laser gun, but stays on the ground and will only attack enemies on the surface level (or the one you pushes into the bottom).
----
* DanceBattler: He used to be a dance instructor with his own studio, but becomes a mercenary after a freak accident in the building.
* LightningBruiser: Exceptionally fast, and can dish out a great deal of damage. His only weakness is that he stays up in surface level, remaining dormant otherwise if enemy isn't within the surface level proximity.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Meryl]]
She is a mermaid who will occasionally sing and increases the drop rate of all money from guppies in the tank for a short time. She is also the game's hostess as she appears in the main menu and the fish emporium
----
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: The Carnivores and Ultravores sees her as nothing but another corporate-sponsored pop star, which is the reason why they are not affected by the rate-up boost from Meryl's singing.
* IdolSinger: When she sings, she will causes the current guppies on an uproar where they will produce coins (and diamonds) at instanteous rate.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Wadsworth]]
