Epoch Aquamarine Aquarium Sets

I was recently searching around and came across these images of the Epoch "Aquamarine Aquarium" sets, which seem to be small fish inside of small plastic aquariums meant to be filled with water (or, in the last set, pre-filled with water). I have seen some of these figures for sale individually on occasion, but realized that we did not have them catalogued anywhere. I can not read Japanese and I do not know if this was all the sets released or if there were more.

To the best of my ability (not being able to read the images) I have identified the figures to the species level, but I would really appreciate the help from anyone who knows more than I do, since I am of course no authority. Some sets share some of the same species and most of the molds are reused between sets.

Hopefully this allows us to begin cataloguing these figures on TAI!

Hopefully this helps in the overall cataloging of the brand, which we don't seem to have a whole lot of information on in general.

Thank you so much for that. I have a few of these aquarium figures. But i dont know all. Now i will look which fishes are interesting for my zoo.

Wow, some interesting species for sure! I wonder if they can be displayed outside of the aquarium (the base is fine, but I don't want the appearance of captivity)

I believe they can, I have seen some models for sale which don't include the plastic "tank" piece or show it separately.

I may take a better look to this later but it is an impressive effort for identifying all these models.
From the first set, 9 is a sort of danselfish. The jellyfish is a red jelly, lionmane's?

Yes, ITS possible.

Sorry, my mistake. Mine is No 3.. The secret is a juveline Platax pinnatus.

The set is for sale soon in my webshop.

Amazing gob you did to identify them
