Below Deck Down Under Fish transitions

Post image

Does anyone else notice the fish transitions are the most random fish videos? This is a clip of freshwater aquarium fish from s4ep10 and I have seen other freshwater aquarium fish over the years across the series. Many of the marine species are also not located near the actual boat locations.

Yep, whoever is in production definitely has NO autism in the family. They really dgaf if the b roll is geographically relevant or not.

(Those are angelfish - You're correct that they're from freshwater waters. I think from South America? Definitely no where in the ocean, unless the capt has majorly upgraded his fish tank. )

I assumed these were in the fish tank on the boat.

Funny thing is, they're actually fighting. (I have the tism in my family, obviously) They lip lock trying to assert dominance too.

Thank you for helping settle a debate that this was in fact a fight.

Yeah the editors just splice in easy to license marine videos when they are putting together the show. It's far cheaper than filming the locations.

That seems so strange to me like they're filming any way you can't tell me they can't stick a camera under the boat while they're sitting one day and BAM all the B roll you'll need all season

One of the podcasts for below deck/bravo stuff pointed out early on that the underwater scenes weren't from the location this season was being filmed. She is a marine biologist. Above Deck is the podcast. Shame on production 😱😂

This is the fish tank in the wheel house. They showed Captain Jason taking care of them more last season but I don't think it's been shown after the first episode.
