What sorts of fish were Sharky and George
The early 90s Kids TV show Sharky and George featured two fish detectives in a 1930s style ganster fish town. The basic premise is covered here on Wikipedia Sharky And George
But what kinds of fish were Sharky and George supposed to be? Sharky is reasonably obviously a Shark, but all the listings I can find (wikipedia, imdb etc.) just describe George as a Blue and Orange or Blue and Yellow fish. Was he supposed to be a particular species?
I'm trying to figure out if George is supposed to be a pilot fish. This would bring a second layer to relationship between Sharky and George. It would give a backstory by species reason for George to be the driving force of the partnership and Sharky to be more passive despite his larger size. I'm hoping to find out if this is intended or not.
