The bug
Black tropical fish never spawn naturally or using spawn eggs. However, they exist and have translations for them.
For instance, you can summon a black fish using the following command:
/summon minecraft:tropical_fish ~ ~ ~ {Variant:992489}Linked issues

Hi! We decided to not use the black color for tropical fish since in many cases that makes they eyes "disappear".
What's the matter if their eyes are not visible?
Also, if you look closely, their eyes are visible
[media]Can these please be added? If your so worried about they eyes just color them gray. And so what if we can’t see the eyes? That’s realistic, many fish have their eyes blend in to their body color.
@unknown, I 100% agree. These would be a great addition, mainly to these who are building aquaria. If they don't want them spawn naturally, I would like to just get an other way how to get them in survival. (Like loot chests, villagers and wandering traders)
If they are unused, they should either be removed or they should be at some way obtainable without commands.
So, please reconsider this as a bug and get this fixed at some point (Doesn't have to be at 1.16)
