Our AI model was specifically trained on right-facing fish images.

This means the AI recognizes fish facing right (with the tail on the right side) most accurately. Right-facing is also a common standard in fish illustration and animation.

Quick Tip: Draw the fish head on the left, body in the middle, and tail on the right for best AI recognition!

Don't worry! Here are tips to improve AI recognition:

�?Face right: Make sure your fish faces right (tail on right side)
�?Include essentials: Body, tail, fins, and eye are crucial
�?Keep it simple: Clear, simple fish shapes work best
�?Bold lines: Make your lines distinct and easy to see
�?Right proportions: Make the tail and fins proportional to the body
�?Look at examples: Check the community tank for inspiration

Remember: The AI recognizes various styles from realistic to cartoonish! See our step-by-step guide for more help.
