Masswise, the water breathers could have large-ish clear EVA suits instead of filling the whole ship with water. It'd probably make for double or thripe the mass of just air breathers being there instead though.
Here's a question: do the inscectoid Xindi have wings? Stingers prahaps? Do their antenna serve as a extra sense?
Another odd Xindi thing is that they probably can't breed between species (dispite genetic simmulatities). Otherwise there's be only one species and it's have genes from all of them. Like how humans might have bred with neandertals in some limited way and retained some of their DNA. Omega as example.

I've heard the same asked of Andorians.

Maybe the Xindi will start their genocidal attack, only to discover that they cure earth of all known rashes...

Rewatching the episode tonight, I noticed something else - the Jeffries tube entrance! It's as Raijiin is trying to escape. Reed opens a regular door, behind which is a tiny room and the tube entrance - a ladder on an angle that leads upwards, though it's not built into the wall. The tube actually entends from the wall like a storm drain and the ladder protrudes from it, kinda like the one Jake has to scramble up in "Civil Defense".
Have we seen it before? It seems odd to build a full set for ten seconds on screen... And it's quite a bit more than the hole-in-the-wall approach of TOS and the simple hatches of most subsequent series.

Of course, the Andorians seem to have to organs of all our normal senses (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and they can presumably feel things). We can't really postulate an "extra" sense for the Xindibugs when we don't know if they even have all the "regular" ones.

First seen in "The Catwalk", this was supposed to be the Jeffries tube leading to the warp nacelles (which is probably why the ladder isn't exactly vertical).

Well, the inscectoid might not have taste or smell I suppose but all the others are aparant from it's talking, responding to questions and biiiiig eyes (though segmented).
holy fuck. I just saw a commercial for Martix: Revolutions. Must lie down now.
