We see many forms of life here on earth, and even though it would be almost impossible for subnautica to have billions of species of fish, more creature variations could help add diversity to the world.
We already see multiple reskins of the same creature (hoopfish to spinefish, biter to blighter etc.) but we could see more. Variations, if considered, would be developed after v1.0 because the devs are hard at work to finish the game.
Variations use the same a.i. of the fish; making it fairly easy to code. Some variations in these places would be the most important IMO
• Lost river crabsquid and Mesmer reskin
• Grand and Deep Grand reef fish reskin (possibly a blue or turquoise glow to match the floating stones)
• Possibly bone shark variations
• Mutated fish near the aurora
Again, if this is ever considered, it would be after v1.0, but the easy-to-code creature variations could help the player feel more immursed is the game, as well as adding a lot of realism, and giving biomes a more unique feel.
What do you think? Good idea? Terrible? Are they already considering this? Let me know in the comments!

We have a few but a little more won't hurt
Reskins, while low-end work, can add a lot to the game's atmosphere. Just the simple addition of the Spinefish allows an already existing asset to have a completely different feel and effect in another place in the game. I think more varied reskins are always a plus, as long as it doesn't get to the level of Final Fantasy.
A planet that is 99.8% water with a simple ecosystem isn't going to have a massive amount of diversity.
but seriously: fish live where they can (lava eye eyes are weird)
