no you don't need to have any wetlands animals for the bullfrog to appear! :)

Just a question, but I see this really weird ambient fish (I think it's in either the coastal or reef biome.) popping up that comes in red and blue, and I have no idea what it is. :hmmm: It's not the lionfish either. Ring a bell to anyone?

it could be a blenny or powder blue tang or a capelin

i also have possibly solved what the small organism is..... a baby moon jelly

remember squishy from finding nemo something like that....... also iff not i think i may have witnissed the organism in a tank i made in the demo

i witnessed the object moving across the horizon due east at around 8:30 and going at 350mph

i witnessed the smallish organism in the tank moving across the screen it was really just a white speck and it didnt move up or down or turn it just went perfectly straight i was going to try to photograph it but i lost sight of it when i switched to photo mode

exactly baby moon jellies

or those comb jellies....... if they are in deep water it might be comb jellies they are along the coast too

or it is something like that weird starfish thing in the movie evolution

I've noticed that the crab ambients move away from you when you go in front of them. First, they shake sideways, then scuttle away from you.

All of the biomes that have Marine Animals have fish that swim in them. The Herring is the only fish that will swim in Wetlands. For a complete listing of Ambients and the maps they show up in, refer to the List of all Ambients in ZT2 thread.

didnt see wetlands after herring

my bad

the floating speck might be poop, chunks or food/plant matter, or a micro organism after some final forever final thought on the topic on the "specks"

You have to have the Marine Mania 2 (MM2) expansion. They come with it and appear randomly in any of the MM2 waters.

Those small organisms probably mean that the water is not as clean as it could be.

 or it could be that whale sharks live in the deep water biome and manta rays live in the reef biome and they both eat plankton - so again it might be more realistic or it could be from the plankton eaters food (cos they have little organisms floating out of thje bucket or floater thingy)

I believe the small organisims found in the water are just for decoration, I get them in coastal water no matter how clean it is :)

i have possibly discovered the answer to the floating thingeys

they are plankton, zooplankton, alge, comb jellies, etc one looks like a cog wheel i have seen them with my own eyes looking through the eyes of a guy looking at them with his own 2 eyes

thats 4 eyes metaforically speeking

and i have pictures too

THere's definitely different types, I think they are just small organisms/plants etc. in the water because sea water is filled that kind of stuff.

Also, I noticed when testing an animal that a really dirty tank was FILLED with them.
