Trivia

There is a subspecies of the Hoopfish called the Spinefish that dwells exclusively in the Blood Kelp Zone and in the Lost River.
The Data Bank Entry for the Hoopfish states that it changes the compisition of the water infront of it to propel itself through the water. In spite of this the Hoopfish ingame still pumps it's tail like a normal fish when it moves.

-Small, school mentality prey fish with a distinct method of propulsion.
-# Antennae:<br />Rather than swimming this lifeform uses the fine green antennae which encircle its body to alter the composition of the water in front of it, allowing it to 'sail' into the low density space created.
-# Purple/Green Coloration:<br />May be a camouflage adaptation for mid-range light wavelengths, possibly indicating the hoopfish is more active at dawn and dusk.
-Assessment: Edible
