One common misconception in fish identification is solely relying on color to determine the species. While color can be a helpful indicator, it can vary greatly depending on the fish's age, sex, environment, and even its mood. It's essential to look at other features such as the shape and size of the fish, the placement of fins, the presence of scales, and unique markings. Another misconception is assuming that all fish of the same species look identical. Just like humans, fish can have variations in appearance within the same species. Therefore, it's crucial to consider multiple characteristics when identifying a fish.
