Puzz.link update!

So, puzz.link updated today to import around 40 new genres from pzprxs! I've made puzzles in a few of these genres before, and took the time to go back and update the old no solution check variant links I had with full links. The penpa links provided still exist and I haven't switched out any of the images, just links. For completions' sake I'm reposting those puzzles below - if you've solved my blog up to this point, you've seen all of these before. If you're going backwards, you'll see all of these in the future.

If you're visiting from puzz.link/db? Hello! Enjoy the puzzles :)

Puzzles #246, #247 & #248 - Pisces (Anglers)

Pisces is literally a fish. Anglers is literally a type that has fish in it. What other choice could I reasonably make for the Puzzle Zodiac? All three of these were quite interesting to make, though I'm not convinced the type has all that much potential. Or maybe I just don't know how to tap it?
Oddly, the example puzzle turned out to be the hardest one to make. I'm not sure how much of that is because of my chosen layout, though.
Puzzle 23 on the test, worth 20 points, themed on the Pisces sign. Having 5 and 8 on two sides, and 6 and 9 on the other two sides just kind of happened as I was constructing this one. 12 fish on a 9x9 grid is surprisingly dense!
Puzzle 24 on the test, worth 30 points, and themed with pairs of each clue. The benefit of cluing this way is that I didn't have to worry about parity, but the downside was that it was tough to specify uniquely while maintaining the theme. Somehow 19 ended up working well!
