In real life, one of the most common wild relationships is that of mutualism - animals that work with and around other animals for mutual benefit. We have, I think, a single example of this in game in Crash fish (although that relationship doesn't make a whole lot of sense).
I think it would do a lot to bring the game to life if some of the bigger creatures (Reapers, Reefbacks and Stalkers would all be good candidates) had mutualistic relationships with some some other smaller life form, such that the smaller life form could almost always be found around the larger one (and, like in real life, you could even use the same companion fish for all three if you wanted to).
While it would be cool if such fish could be caught, it would be nice if they even existed the same way the small-fish schools do now as purely decorative elements.

To all the dev team, you should...
(and terrifying)
(I mean tiny as in _really_ small. While I love the fish shoals, those are actually quite large fish).
