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.
Yeah, I think that it describes it.
Oddly enough this went away very quickly. I’m not sure what caused it to occur in the first place. Maybe chunk loading? Let’s just say I am confused by what happened 😂
I have had the same problem while playing on the ps5.
