Notes & Combos
The only way to exploit the full potential of this archetype is to opt for a control/stun-oriented build. The main purpose of Aquaactress cards is to lay down continuous spells to protect and increase your monsters' stats. Counter-traps and floodgates are then perfect for reinforcing this game plan, allowing you to keep control of the game.
This deck is TERRIBLE, and you will most likely lose when going second, but you make opponents surrender to funny looking fish :D

Main Deck Monsters & Combos
Every main deck monster is Water/Aqua to play under Gozen Match and Rivalry of Warlords :
-
Aquaactress Tetra gives you access to your continuous spells. The one you want to search first is Aquarium Stage; it provides monster effect protection for Aquaactress monsters and battle protection for any WATER type monster. Aquarium Lighting is an ATK booster, giving you access to a 4000 ATK Arowana during battle phase.
-
Metal Reflect Slime is a free Egyptian God Slime (3000 ATK body protecting your other monsters from battle and targeting effects)
-
Paleozoic cards synergize nicely with Aquaactress monsters under Wetlands. I didn't keep it here since I already play the Slime package.
-
Aquaactress Guppy + Aquaactress Tetra :
Guppy summons Tetra, Tetra searches for a 1st continuous spell, Marincess Coral Anemone summons Tetra back for a 2nd continuous spell search.
-
Aquaactress Guppy + Aquaactress Arowana :
Guppy summons Arowana, Arowana searches for Tetra, Marincess Coral Anemone summons Tetra for a continuous spell search.

Funny Traps
Winning because your opponent can't pass a 300 DEF fish is peak gaming. You can pretty much play all of the well-known floodgates except There Can Be Only One, Anti-Spell Fragrance, and Grave of the Super Ancient Organism.
Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror is an auto win against Yubel.
.
Extra Deck
The only important cards here are Marincess Coral Anemone, Egyptian God Slime, S:P, and Knightmare Phoenix. Mistar Boy could be useful in some specific situations and Marincess Marbled Rock is the only link-3 monster you can summon with Anemone on the field.

Other Variants
- Ties of the Brethren (master pack UR) summons Tetra and Testudo erat Numen directly from the deck.
- I tried a Horus variant (Ice Barrier searches Arowana, Rainbow Bridge of Salvation searches Wetlands...) but it didn't work that well and Aquaactress monsters were basically useless.
- An IceJade variant probably does some things, feel free to check the Aquaactress channel (in "any-other-deck")
