Albeit very heavy, marble fish adults are expert swimmers. The air magic they control allows them to move freely in the water, maybe even better than regular fish. Although sociable, the marble fish prefer to stick to specific locations, wherever they feel the most comfortable with the environment. This makes some of the known marble fish types rarer than others. In an attempt to obtain more of the hardy scales, a few hybrid marble fish were created. They have no specific preferences for the waters they inhibit although they do tend to live in areas where other marble fish are present. Most of the scales of these fish are used in creating decorative statues for their colorful patterns give structures a mesmerizing look. The scales shed from them are gathered monthly with great care. Statues shaped as marble fish made from their very scales are often placed near ponds and lakes as a show of gratitude for everything these creatures offer.
Found all around the world, marble fish are creatures adapted to both salt and freshwater, their scales varying in colors in order to blend in with the environment. Unlike other water creatures, marble fish possess an unusual control over air magic. With their stone-hard scales and heavy bodies, these fish rely on their magic to swim. They create air bubbles under their bodies which prevent them from sinking. Popular among the rich for their colorful scales, the marble fish make for easy to care for pets. They are sociable fish so sharing a tank with a koi fish or a goldfish is not uncommon. For those who see beyond their beauty, they are incredibly useful companions. Marble fish shed their scales every few months, leaving behind them durable stones that are reshaped and used as a prime material in many constructions.
