While we're at it, there's a couple fish (fanfin and some pryamid headed worm in the abyss) I can't get info on. No amount of petting, poking or feeding gets them to identify. Thoughts?

Draw some stuff with the underwater pen, a few fish only respond to that. If you don't have the underwater pen yet, you get it impressing a client during one your dives as a hired guide.

EDIT: You don't have to outline them with the pen, just entertain the fish by drawing anything.


The fish can see the pen markings?  I just assumed it was there for online use.  Well, that makes some sense then.  Thanks.

Yes the Fanfin and the eel (Pelican eel I think) are deep sea creatures and they thus respond to bright colours, I had a lot of trouble with them myself, I think I asked someone on here how to do it, may have been Rol or Chrizum who I had an online dive with.

The pen is meant to be real. Whether there is such a thing I don't know, but I think it would be possible (perhaps not as neat as in the game though) I imagine there is a way of having an ink that tries to stay in contact with itself (like something viscous and elastic), and can be squeezed out to make lines underwater. If there is such a thing inreal life I don't think it would last long though as the water currents would move it about.

There are some other creatures that repond better to things that are not the standard poke/rub/prod and feed.... all the underwater mammals respond well to the whistle.
Also some things certainly don't like you coming back immediately to them, the last fish (multicolour rainbowfin) I was trying other things like using colour, or trying to get the male and female versions to interact as it wasn't letting me have the second bit of info.... but I advanced time by a day and they respond pretty quickly.
