Finished editorial pixel landscape illustration, vertical 9:16. Fully underwater side view of a shaded rainforest stream. One tomato-red freshwater fish swims leftward across the upper-middle frame: absurdly elongated body, tiny fins, oversized asymmetric fan tail, one simple dark eye. Two broad submerged buttress roots descend diagonally from the upper corners, directing attention toward the fish without enclosing it. Muted basil-green water, dark olive roots, a few pale mint blocks suggesting reflected surface light. Leave the lower third mostly open water. Chunky visible square pixels and sparse ordered dithering, built from loose hand-drawn marker shapes and broad translucent colour fills; keep pixel edges visible. Playful, nostalgic, deliberately simple, legible at thumbnail size. Flat side-on spatial reading, no intricate scales, hatching, diagrams or additional animals. No text, logos or watermarks.
