Since not everyone agrees with my interpretation of this situation, I'm going to use another multi-option proposal here. Though here are my thoughts with respect to this situation: I think [[Blue Finley]]s are clearly the parent species, seeing as how:
Since not everyone agrees with my interpretation of this situation, I'm going to use another multi-option proposal here. Though here are my thoughts with respect to this situation: I think [[Blue Finley]]s are clearly the parent species, seeing as how:
*[[Green Finley]]s are completely different in design. While Blue and Red Finleys resemble {{wp|piranha}}s, Green Finleys more closely resemble other freshwater fish, such as {{wp|wrasse}}s.

::::::And my point is these are the same model with different textures applied and the guide referring them by color is not ''per se'' calling them separate species. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:51, April 20, 2021 (EDT)

:::::::They have different appearances and behavioral properties, slight as these may be. Under these conditions, whether they are the same species or separate altogether should be up to the highest available authority on the matter to decide—in this case, Prima, who separates them in different sections, suggesting they are in fact two different subjects. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 18:02, April 20, 2021 (EDT)

::::::::Prima seems to just call them "Finleys" elsewhere in that guide with no color identification, on page 54 for example (regarding Big Top Bop). [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 09:04, April 21, 2021 (EDT)
:::::::::Said level only features the [[Green Finley|green]] variety though. It's more than probable the author just uses "Finley" as a shorthand so they don't have to repeatedly mention their colour, as opposed to a covert statement that they're all the same species, else we'd be hard pressed to merge all Finleys including the green variety into one page. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:42, April 21, 2021 (EDT)
::::::::::Well, consulting the [[media:DKTF Shogakukan P17.jpg|Shogakukan guide]], Blue Finley is considered the basic variety of Finley, Red Finley seems to be derived from it, and Green Finley is another thing possibly related to Lockjaw.
