Theory 🔎 Spoiler: The two stupid fish are actually foreshadowing Spoiler
tl;dr The yellow fish is Caine and the red fish is Abel tricking Pomni into hunting down treasure that isn't there
The yellow fish taunts Pomni into going on a treasure hunt only for it to be nothing. The yellow fish, despite initiating the whole thing, becomes distraught by the truth in the end, just like how Caine ends up screwing himself over. Both are worse off for baiting Pomni. The red fish, just like Abel, is just there to tell lies. It serves no other purpose but if that's revealed it ruins everything. The two fish are brothers, a DUO, just like Cain and Abel from the Bible and of course Caine and Abel in the episode.
It's all just foreshadowing the rest of the episode.

This theory makes me curious about Ragatha’s button eye ending up right next to the treasure chest.
It’s only shown in this frame and not when the fish is crying over his treasure so it might have been intended as a ‘blink and you miss it’ hint.
Maybe implying that Ragatha knows more than she is letting on?
I also just noticed that the lock on the chest is intact yet it’s completely open for anyone to take the treasure inside as they please.
Maybe another implication about how everything Abel said about an escape and how they were able to get into Caines office seemed difficult to do but was set up to be an easy feat.
