The species covered in this profile is marine, and though perhaps some stores are foolish enough to mislabel them as freshwater, it is not correct and is not something that needs to be encouraged. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Sure, but it's stupid and the fish don't live for long. Adding "freshwater" to this marine fish's profile may create the impression that they can actually thrive in fresh, which is totally not true.
