I've searched for the Yellowtail Parrot fish for a few hours now and it seems not to spawn. All other 21 of the 22 unique tropical fish spawn except for this one. This also seems to be an issue for all bedrock, because I found a few other tickets for other platforms that had been closed due to the users not responding.
How to reproduce
Start a creative world, use command: "/summon tropicalfish ~ ~ ~ minecraft:become_yellow_tail_parrot"
A white cod will spawn instead.
I tested this with other of the 22 fish (ex. yellow_tang) and they spawned correctly. The white cod seems to be a result of any incorrect fish because I also intentionally spelled the name wrong as well as trying every variation of yellowtail parrot I could think of.

I can also confirm that I've been experiencing this glitch with the Yellowtail Parrotfish as well with this video that I made last night of the glitch in action; https://youtu.be/IvC_7UYuLEM
In the video I'd type in the proper summon command that you would expect to get a Yellowtail Parrotfish summon from, but I only get a generic white kob as a result.
Outside of the video, I've also tested this summon command with every other tropical fish, and came to the conclusion that the Yellowtail Parrotfish is the only tropical fish with this issue.
I just wanted to confirm that this issue is still present in the game. After hours of searching I have not encountered a Yellowtail Parrot (fish). It does not spawn as one of the 22 uniquely named fish. I have even encountered a Teal-Yellow Dasher in the wild, which is the model that should be used for the Yellowtail Parrot. This was through one of the tropical fish spawns that selects the fish model and colors at random.
Can confirm this is still an issue, found a teal-yellow dasher in the wild so the colour + type combo is available, but it is not specially named nor does it have the increased spawning chance
I have also tried finding the yellow tail parrot fish in the coral reefs as well as use the command /summon tropicalfish ~ ~ ~ minecraft_become_yellow_tail_parrot
It is still an issue in 1.17 the caves and cliffs part 1 update.( please if you can, try fix this. I’ve got a little challenge where I get every tropical fish with a special name and this is the 22nd of 22)
