[Crystal] [Showroom] Fish Frames! Visitors welcome.

This project began a long time ago. Perhaps five to seven years. It began with fish, and shall end with fish. There may be others like me, who are obsessed with the marine (and even sand/cloud/space) life of Eorzea.

I once wished to have a house with a fish tank as big as its walls. The limit to fish tanks made it so I was unable to display all the fish that existed.
I did find a solution to this, in the form of subjecting myself to fighting with Placards and farming Eureka for just about two whole years nonstop to acquire plots. After the hardest was done, I fished out the log again and bought some after apoint since as much as I had them already on my Main, I was not as keen to go through this again... and thus I present you the (almost) definitive fish museum!

You may enjoy the aquarium visit, or the fish print trail! The order of visit is up to you, with Venues listed as chronologically as possible.

*Before I had the idea of organizing this neatly, I simply threw a fish into whichever available tank within my FCs or FC rooms. The goal was often aesthetic. A few fish may not yet be featured and upcoming.
**Within a few apartments, some fish prints could not be featured because of the character's acess to certain points in the game and non-tradeable nature of some fish. Where I was able to, I have thrown fish prints that were as similar as possible to what would supposedly be there. Two are absent.
***Big Fish from SB, ShB expansions to come at a later date.

Without further ado, I present you The Fanatic Fisher's Fantastical Marine Museum!

Thank you for considering a visit.

Keep in mind this is the work of years, across many characters and alts. I hope people will enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making these places pleasant.

I am from another Data center and I cant visit your showrooms. Will you be able to post pictures of them here or somewhere?

I tried posting pics but it didn't seem to work ._. Even tried to inclue a link to room 56 and it was just like nope forbidden, can't view this aha. u.u;

At least most of the spots are easily accessible on like, lvl 1 alts but yeah very sad inconveniences.

All of the listed rooms are on the Crystal data center with all apartments (except 1) in the original 3 housing districts. You could make one character on any of the non-Congested Crystal worlds and quickly level it through the introductory MSQ to gain access to the original 3 housing districts for the entire data center. I've done that myself for every data center (except Materia since that was just added).
