Trivia

 * Originally, the Cute Fish was going to be a pet only given to Early Access players or those buying the Special Edition. However, this was changed as the developers did not have time to implement the Special Edition.
 * The sounds of the Cute Fish are similar to those of a human baby.
 * The Cute Fish was originally the first Crashfish, as seen in the Concept Art; however, the developers thought that it was "too cute" and thus created the Crashfish, and made the Cute Fish a pet.
 * It may have been inspired by the porcupine fish because of their similar faces, the spines on their bodies, and how the Cute Fish puffs up in its concept art.
 * On the Sketchfab page, Cute Fish is spelled "Qute Fish." This is a result of the modeler misspelling it, as English was not their native language.
 * A Cute Fish egg can be found on Sketchfab.
 * Before it was decided that the Cute Fish would be a pet, it was planned to spawn in the Twisty Bridges.
 * The name "Cute Fish" is likely temporary.
