Cuckoo wrasse are colourful fish native to UK coasts that are easily distinguished by sexual dimorphism: males are blue and orange, while females are orangey-pink with black. They have a unique reproductive cycle where the largest female can change sex to male if needed.

Tench are robust, deep-bodied fish with a reputation as a "doctor fish" due to their healing slime, which also protects them from parasites and damage. They prefer calm, soft-bottomed lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers, where they hide among dense vegetation and feed on invertebrates
