Erroneous and/or Outdated Common Variant List
I attempted to use this page to collect all of the common variants of tropical fish in Java Edition 1.14.4, but quickly realized that the list is incorrect. The page states that White-Silver SunStreak and White-Gray Dasher are common fish in Java edition. Experimentation in Java Edition 1.14.4 easily shows that this is not accurate; the common variants are limited to the 22 variants that have special names. This means that instead of the aforementioned two variants, Gray-White SunStreak ("Triggerfish") and Teal-Yellow Dasher ("Yellowtail Parrotfish") are common variants. A related entry on the bug tracker (MC-136134) indicates that this was changed during the development of 1.13 versions. I am not sure whether or not this effects the common variant list for the Bedrock edition, but I do not own that edition so I cannot verify. --NanoRexMC (talk) 20:19, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
The picture for the 22 common species in "java edition" is not correct. The fish displayed are inaccurate and do not all match the names. Butterflyfish is incorrect.

Random sidenote: There is a fish on Bedrock called a dog fish and I am pretty sure it's bedrock's version of a dottyback.--GrammarPolice347 (talk) 15:56, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Usage?
Page is missing a "Usage" section. What are the uses of Tropical Fish?
- Eating? - Taming Ocelots? - Craft ingredient?

- This page is tropical fish mob, for the usage of item already in tropical fish (item) page. ImakerB (talk) 00:31, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
The fish picture: Java or bedrock edition?
The image text says "The 22 uniquely-named varieties of tropical fish in Java Edition.", but then it lists the bedrock edition names for the fish? --CrCl3 (talk) 16:25, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
Spawning range around player
The article says they can only spawn in an area "24 (cylindrical) to 64 (spherical) blocks away from the player". This info was added in December 2020; is it still accurate? Based on my limited experimentation, they seem to be able to spawn directly below the player in 1.18, at least in lush cave biomes. Greenpepperpasta (talk) 22:12, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
