* PuppyLove: More like '[[JustForPun Guppy Love]]'. The main characters are confirmed to be kids, and in "I Only Have Eyespots for You", Splash sees the most beautiful fish, Iris, go by and really wants to be her 'friend', to the point of following her around and being nervous when finally talking to her.

* AnimalsLackAttributes: The two titular fish characters are occasionally seen from below and one song even shows a close-up of their anal fins, yet they don't have any sort of anus. Justified, since it's a kids show.

** The others have short, rounded, mammal-like snouts, but Bubbles has a pointy snout.
** She [[FeatherFingers grabs things]] and gestures with her pelvic fins [[FridgeBrilliance since mandarin dragonets' pelvic fins (equivalent to hind limbs) are in the front and can look like pectoral fins (equivalent to front limbs, and thus arms) to an unfamiliar person]], while her real pectorals are clear and in the middle. The others just use their pectoral fins like most cartoon fish. If she used her real "front limbs," it would look like grabbing something with your ears, so what is [[GeniusBonus actually the equivalent of grabbing stuff with your feet]] looks much more humanlike.
** She also has the widest range in facial expression of the 4 characters.

Added DiffLines:

* ChromaticArrangement: Splash (yellow), Bubbles (magenta pink/blue), Dunk (orange), and Ripple (pastel pink).


Added DiffLines:

* FeatherFingers: Downplayed. The characters do sometimes use their fins as humans would use their hands, such as gesturing, waving, and picking up objects, but more often they just use their mouths to pick up objects and always use their faces to point, not their fins. Bubbles uses this trope the most, probably because of the size and placement of her fins compared to the others.
* FilthyFun: Bubbles' favorite pastime is rolling around in (underwater) mud puddles.

** "What in the [[labelnote:big blue ocean]]world[[/labelnote]] just happened?!"
** "I thought we were playing ''surprise'' fish, not [[labelnote:scare-the-gills-off-of-me]]scare the crap/shit out of me[[/labelnote]] fish!"
** "I can't put my [[labelnote:fin]]finger[[/labelnote]] on it."
