The Case of the Weird Fish

**The Case of the Weird Fish** is the twenty-second episode of Season 2 of Fishtronaut and the seventy-fourth episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with Marina telling Fishtronaut that most of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans in which Fishtronaut only knew about the Atlantic Ocean. Suddenly, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a pink bubble and a didgeridoo

Receiving the clues, Zeek thought of the didgeridoo having the same sound of a bird near his hiding place. Marina tells the viewers to help the trio go on an investigation to find the bird Zeek thought of. Zeek then points to the aracari, the bird that knows about Zeek who hides his bananas in one of the holes in the grape tree. Marina started thinking of which bird the trio must find that makes the sound of a didgeridoo. The aracari says that the sound does not come from a bird, and the sound has a resemblance to a buffalo's bellow. The trio then arrives to the spot with the buffalo who is curious if this is the sound that the trio is looking for. After Marina thanks the buffalo for his help, Fishtronaut is curious about the pink bubble clue and Zeek cannot think of pink animals besides Rosy Barb.

Meanwhile, Fishtronaut talks to Rosy Barb on his Communicator who is having her day-off and Rosy tells her that she's always on the lookout, like any good agent. After talking to Rosy, Marina is curious what else is pink besides Rosy. Marina thought of a pink river dolphin and the trio decides to find the river dolphin. Arriving to the spot where the river dolphin was supposed to be, Zeek is curious that what kind of fish is a dolphin. Marina says that dolphins are not fish, but mammals just like Marina and Zeek, even though river dolphins live in the river and are mammals. Zeek is curious if dolphins are always pink, but Marina says that dolphins have other colours, like ones with gray colour (which lives in saltwater). Fishtronaut encounters the river dolphin in which Marina shows her the pink bubble clue. The river dolphin feels the bubble clue, and she says that the bubble clue smells like a fish in the ocean, not like a river fish. The river dolphin also says that the ocean has pink animals, such as shrimp, squid, jellyfish (jellyfish are not always pink, but gooey, as explained by her), and the red devil fish (one of the animals that is really pink). After thanking the river dolphin for help and the river dolphin leaves, Fishtronaut thought of diving underwater to help solve the mystery.

Meanwhile, Zeek refuses to go into the submarine and Marina tells him that it's the only choice to get close to solve the mystery. As Fishtronaut and Marina begin to leave without him, Zeek then decides to change his mind and join the other two to find the mysterious fish. Finally underwater, Fishtronaut then decides to talk to a squid by showing the pink bubble clue to know if she saw a mysterious pink fish before. After Marina pushes the button in the submarine to listen to some talking, she asks Fishtronaut to know how was his chat with the squid. Fishtronaut then explains that the squid saw a mysterious animal swimming with a group of jellyfish that had a resemblance to one of the P.O.P.'s clues, but has a strange look. Fishtronaut, Marina, and Zeek decide to follow the path where the squid pointed to and behind the trio is a sad strange animal. Zeek is afraid of the strange animal that is very lonely, in which he confused it for a devil fish. Zeek then tells Marina that the strange animal has a big nose that has a resemblance to Neppy's nose. Marina tells Fishtronaut that Zeek saw the strange creature with a big nose.

It is revealed that the strange creature is very scared and Marina doesn't know what the name of the fish is. The fish then describes himself as a blobfish, who has been lost for several days. The blobfish explains that he caught an ocean current and doesn't know how to return home. Fishtronaut then tells the blobfish to know where he live; the blobfish explains that he lives far away from Smiling Trees Park and is not a resident. Back again with Marina and Zeek, Marina tells Zeek not to call him ugly, since this word hurts his feelings. To cheer him up, Zeek uses the didgeridoo and the blobfish begins to dance and the tune reminds him of his home. Marina decides to get one of the books to know where the didgeridoo comes from and Marina found out that the didgeridoo is from Australia, in which the blobfish is from this country too. Fishtronaut tells Marina and Zeek how to bring the blobfish back home. Marina says "*Natator depressus*" (not a spell, but it is a scientific name), a type of sea turtle that swims very fast. Back at the surface, Marina tells Fishtronaut that the turtles arrive at the spot very shortly where the submarine is as Marina explained that she saw a big group of turtles at the beginning of the investigation. Suddenly, a group of *Natator depressus* arrives towards Marina and Zeek, with the help of Fishtronaut. One of the turtles says that if the trio needs help. Fishtronaut then explains to the turtles that the blobfish needs help.

Back then, the blobfish is happy with the trio for helping him and Zeek is curious that the group of *Natator depressus* would arrive to the part where they would take the blobfish home, but Marina explains that the turtles are going to migrate to Indonesia by giving them a ride to his home. Meanwhile at Cicada Beach, Marina is curious that the blobfish would be home. Suddenly, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** a nautical chart

Receiving the reward, Fishtronaut tells Zeek that a nautical chart is the graphic representation of the ocean, like a map on the water. The trio then decides to figure out where the blobfish is now living. Back at the Beanstalk Care Center, the trio thinks the blobfish may have crossed several oceans to get back to his home in Australia.

## Musical Interlude Lyrics

*Come and see the sun and the waves at the depths of the sea*

*Sharing our adventure, come along. There's a whole world to see*

*Zeek-oh had never seen the ocean from within, but in the submarine, he can finally dive in to a world of wonder!*

*In the depths of the sea...*
