Though big bubbles are not at all spherical in real world because they drift
up swiftly and get kind of jellyfish shaped :-)

Well... *my* bubbles are *magical* ones. =)

WOW. I like. Looks real enough to me apart from the bubbles as others
have commented. I'd like 'em more silvery with less contrast. What
seaweed? Can't see any but guess a gamma tweak (my monitor is still
cold) this end will show it.

It sorta got lost in the jpeg compression, but most of it is in the lower
left...

Great pic. The formation of the fish seems very natural and fluid. I'm not
crazy about the bubbles, but that horse has been kicked enough times.
You could probably use a faster method for the seaweed, as it is not very
visible. You could try a mesh or my cheap sweep macro.

Indeed it's Your image and Your choices :-), realism is definitly NOT the
only target we have to aim to.

Mmm... the fish are all swimming around a certain point in a circle, with
their vertical tilt defined as a sine function of the angle that they're in
in that circle. I realized too late that the insides of the transparent
parts of the fish have an ior of 1, making some of the fish refractive. I'll
fix that if I do another version.

I'm not really too worried about the speed of the seaweed; it's really
unnoticeable given all the media and photons. I doubt it makes any more than
a half-hour difference out of the 40 or so hour render.

If I do another version, I'll consider fixing the bubbles for everyone =)
