A musical genius is fish with a musical attribute that can be found in the Virtual Tank Store that always costs 30,000 shells. They sing old, classical music and, if a musical breeder is raised to be fully grown, it will give birth to a guppy that is a musical, too.
Some of the most famous songs sung by musical geniuses are by composers Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and several others.
Santa - Santa is a pre-named fish that is obtained by purchasing a regular guppy for 25 shells and naming it Santa. Santa sings Christmas songs instead of classical music.
Kilgore - A violet ultravore that intimidates other fish by playing the music of Richard Wagner. The only song it knows is Ride of the Valkyries.
Ludwig - Ludwig is a blue and black carnivore with sea green fins that specializes in singing songs by Ludwig van Beethoven.

- Occasionally, fish will sing an extended version of one of their songs, prompting an unseen audience to applaud at the end.
- Startling a fish by tapping the glass will cause them to stop singing their current song, even fish that are not startled like ultravores and ball fish.
