* OneGenderRace: Averted in Season 2, when it's revealed that mermen are alive and well - they just live separately from mermaids. How either race reproduces, having lived many generations without contact with the other, goes unexplained.
Added DiffLines:
* RevolvingDoorCasting: Despite the show ostensibly revolving around a trio of mermaids, that trio never stays consistent; Season 2 replaces Lyla and Nixie with Mimmi and Ondina, and Season 3 replaces Sirena with Weilan, resulting in a completely different main cast at the beginning and end of the series. The supporting cast remains far more consistent.

** Mako Island is the home of the "Mako pod" in ''Mermaids'', and it is established that the pod has been in the area for some time. But somehow the pod never encountered any of the mermaids from [[Series/H2OJustAddWater the first series]], despite both group's frequent visits to the island and to the Moon Pool.

In contrast to Rikki's non-reaction to the former change, she is rightfully shocked to learn that real mermaids exist.

** In the first series there is a fairly ordinary, if surprising to the unwary, aboveground entrance to the Moon Pool chamber. It is open at all times. In [[Series/MakoMermaidsAnH2OAdventure the second series]] the mermaids start out believing that there is no aboveground entrance. They learn better when the magic of the full Moon allows Zac (and, later, Cam) to fall through the roof of the cave and into the pool, but still without leaving any visible hole. For even more drift, in the last few episodes of the series, Rikki (from the first series) "visits" and says the cave hasn't changed from when she knew it, despite the absence of the old "sliding" entrance.
