There are no grounds to file any kind of lawsuit, class-action or otherwise.

Legally (although probably not morally) it falls under the "fair use" doctrine. Your argument that this is piracy is not true. They have actually made it HARDER to pirate the Russian aquarium by removing TESTFISH. You need a genuine keycode to run the Russian versions just like the regular ones.

My complaint is that the fish are not particularly attractive and certainly don't fit in a saltwater tank.

All the fish they have added, they scanned/photographed/created themselves. The right person working with true saltwater species could do much much better. Hopefully I get the chance some day to prove that we're not all graffiti people.
