* BlackSheep: Bubbles seems to be the odd character out in a lot of ways:
** [[OddNameOut Her name]] doesn't refer to a movement in water (splash, dunk, and ripple).
** While Splash, Dunk, and Ripple have a clear signature color (yellow, orange, and pink), her signature color is less clear. Her face is pink, her main body is blue with orange and cyan stripes, and her fins are purple.
** 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:
*AmbiguousGender: Chompy the parrotfish. She's reffered to as female but she's colored like a male parrotfish (females aren't that colorful, they're more like a brownish)
Added DiffLines:
*BlindMistake: In one episode, Mayor Sting explains to the group that sea urchins don't have eyes like they do and can only sense changes in light, so Archie got spooked by his shadow.
*BigEater: Chompy. She's eats almost whatever she sees and most of her appearance has her eating something.

*MissingMom: We don't see or hear about Ripple's mom but this is justified, as she's a seahorse.
*MisplacedWildlife: While there are species of parrotfish in the Pacific (where the show is implied to be), Chompy looks more like an Atlantic species.
*MeaningfulName:
**Lu's name is short "bio''''lu''''minescence", something that anglerfish have.
**Tidy likes to keep things in order. In one episode, he gets a wife named "Neat".
**Melody's name is reference to whales "singing"
**Pearline's name refers to her pearl.
