Freddi Fish takes place under the sea and features many anthropomorphic sea life, with the adult fish characters being highly anthropomorphized in that they float with their heads raised and tails pointing downward, atypical of real fish, and even wear human clothing.
Main characters •
Freddi Fish – a smart and courageous yellow fish with orange fins and blue eyes, she volunteers to investigate any mystery or crime that has recently affected her friends. She often counters the crooks she catches with morals of wrongdoings and has a desire to be a police officer when she reaches adulthood. She was voiced by Annette Toutonghi. •
Luther – a green fish with beige fins and black eyes, he is Freddi's best friend and sidekick. He is a guppy like Freddi and, while being a bit cowardly and greedy at times, he is very faithful to his friends and family and does care about others. He was voiced by Mike McAucliffe.
