Realistically, this book is terrible. His scales made him super shiny and shared his scales amongst the fish in his community. That made then easier to spot by predators. Sure the book has a message of sharing is cating, but he just killed everyone because they can no longer hide from predators. Gg
A lot of fish have reflective scales so they can swim near the surface without being seen by birds and the like. The silver blends into the reflection of the surface. but like your point still stands but it really depends a lot on the habitat and mannerisms of the fishyboi
No one liked him until he ripped off his own scales to offer them to everyone. They only stopped rejecting him when he had given up his particularity and had suffered for people who were jealous of him.
Morals : give up everything that makes you special because you need to blend in, not be proud or happy or better in any other way, and society will accept you.
