My problem with the current placing is that as far as I know there is no
muscle there that could move the fin. Somewhat higher up one might use a
modified abdominal muscle.
I think if you make a vertebrate it should conform to the body plan of
vertebrates or at least be physiological plausible. That is why I am a
fan of Terryl Whitlatch (and not only because of the extra 'l' at the
end of her first name).

The tail indicates that this is definitely not a fish, but a landanimal
readapted to the seas.
Another mild criticism is that she will be the last of the line.
