Location: Hong Kong

1st fish: Barcheek Goby
2nd fish: Midas Cichlid
3rd fish: Jewel Cichlid
4th fish: Firemouth Cichlid

Only the first fish is native, the other three seem to be invasive.

This was at a freshwater reservoir, I tried using ai to identify it but it gives me a different answer every time. Does anyone know what species this is?

First two are from a freshwater reservoir, second two are from a saltwater pier

There’s a lot of lore regarding the world after the collapse, especially regarding these two countries.
If you have any questions I would love to answer them in the comments.

Yueland
Its history can be divided into five periods.

1. 乱世 (Luan Shi): Post apocalypse. A century of chaotic infighting ended by the Clan of Moon. This era pioneered new military tactics, especially the writer Ming Ruilin who is both the Sun Tzu and Machiavelli of the Luan Shi period.

2. 新宋 (Xin Song): Emperor Yao established "Song Xing" (Sonsin), centralized power, and codified Cantonese. Under isolationist policies, the state enforced strict social laws (The Whispering Law, The Colour Law, and The Dietary Law) via the Blackshirt inquisitors (who were originally elite soldiers from the previous period). Yueland also began reforesting Guangdong with temperate plants and trees. They also annexed Guangxi. During this time, a distinct Yue identity emerged. (Yue in Yueland does not refer to 粤, it refers to 月, after the Clan of the Moon)

3. 开元 (Kaiyuan): North America introduced industrialization. The Blackshirt War saw the Imperial Army dismantle the inquisitor. The era concluded with Yueland’s modernisation, participation in the 20-Year War, and the collapse of the An Empire.

4. 盛霸 (Shengba): An era of rapid expansion, including the annexation of Hainan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and various islands. This period ended in defeat during the Second American War (allied with Tsiechuria, California, and other Vindicist powers) after a failed campaign to establish a Greater Yue empire across Southeast Asia.

5. 和平 (Peace): The current period of liberalization. Following its surrender to North American Powers, Yueland joined the Liberal bloc during the Cold War. By implementing democratic and economic reforms, it has become a leading Asian powerhouse, now focused on diplomacy and addressing demographic challenges.

Tsiechuria
Its history is much less straight forward than Yueland's, it doesn't have these layed out period, rather, it was a kingdom originally apart of the An Empire.

The An Empire was essentially a Daoist Holy Roman Empire, more specifically New Age Daoism which became China's Main Religion after the apocalypse.

Tsiechuria was named after the state of Tsie from the warring states period. The An Empire was extremely divided, there were small tiny city sized states within the empire led by figures called Sheng-Xia (圣侠), they are essentially the knights of the An Empire, these states were called Iron States. One of these Sheng-Xia got into a royal marriage and was able to create Tsiechuria from this marriage.

The Tsiechurian age of ascension began during the War of the Woods.
Later on, Tsiechuria was exceptionally successful in adopting North American industrial and technological advancements. During the collapse of the An Empire (the 20-Year War), Tsiechuria emerged as a dominant military force.

In the First American War it was able to successfully annexed the Korean peninsula, and defeat Japan.
Whereas in the Second American War, it was able to annex Japan and large sections of Manchuria before ultimately being defeated due to resource constraints.

Tsiechuria transitioned into a modern state and, alongside Yueland, now stands as a leading economic powerhouse in Asia. Similar to Yueland its apart of the Western Liberal Bloc.
