You may have to turn some of your graphics options up to see ambient fish :)

They don't just magically appear either; you have to wait sometimes to see them. Also, try viewing for them in the MM2 biomes before you try to see them in the others.

If it is reef, put in lots of coral.  Coral+ :fish: = :fish2:

Because the ambients appear randomly, it's not terribly unusual for them not to appear for a little while.  Also, make sure the water is deep enough.  Ambient fish don't appear in puddles, so first make the water pretty deep.
