Avatar Buoy Fish & Octofin Fish

Buoyfish, common in the Western Frontier, are seen at river bottoms eating small fish and riverbed critters, able to stay still for long thanks to their two inflatable bladders. These bladders help them stay stable while feeding and are also used in mating displays. They have a large, colorful, segmented shell for flexibility and protection, and eight strong fins for fast, agile movement. They're a favorite food among Na’vi clans for their sweet, meaty taste and because they're widely available. The flavor of Buoyfish varies by region, influenced by their diet in different river environments.

The Octofin Fish, found in the rivers of the Western Frontier, moves quickly through strong currents using its eight fins. It is very muscular, helping it swim fast, but this makes it hard to change direction quickly. Its flat body helps it hide from predators from above as it swims alone, eating snails, small fish, and worms. It lays eggs in safer rivers, and the color of the young fish changes to match their environment. Na’vi clans often eat these fish and use their bones to make utensils and foraging tools.
