I hope this is on topic; doesn't seem to fit any other stack I could think of.

I noticed that ID3 has a list of types of images that can be embedded in an audio file:

The TYPE must be one of the following: OTHER, ICON, OTHER_ICON, FRONT_COVER, BACK_COVER, LEAFLET, MEDIA, LEAD_ARTIST, ARTIST, CONDUCTOR, BAND, COMPOSER, LYRICIST, RECORDING_LOCATION, DURING_RECORDING, DURING_PERFORMANCE, VIDEO, BRIGHT_COLORED_FISH, ILLUSTRATION, BAND_LOGO, PUBLISHER_LOGO.

That—s from the help screen of eyeD3, but many web pages mention it without reference to ID3

Most of them have a use I can understand.  But why "BRIGHT_COLORED_FISH"?  In athe webcited web search, I found several mentions, including two Reddit posts asking the same question, but no answer.  Adding "why" to the search got the same results.

I couldn’t find an appropriate tag.

Reason for ID3 "Bright colored fish"?
