While that may not seem to be in keeping with the aquatic tradition, they believe it refers to the Flame Angelfish.

There was a third codename discovered in the Google code that could indicate a previously unknown standalone device. The name is “Needlefish”, and as of now, no one knows what it refers to. It does run on Linux, and most likely an Android based device, which means it is most likely a standalone device. The Google Pixel 4 codename research may have uncovered more than just the names for Google’s newest phones.

This, coupled with the launch of new phones could be a boost for Google’s investor base. The Google Pixel 4 codename rumors have definitely caught the interest of the tech world.
