One thing I think would help: those creatures that show up in tributaries should not show up in the main stream at all.
I'd love this personally. At the moment there are 67 main stream only creatures if you don't count limited events and seasonal creatures like the snow hares. So the main stream could be its own region and still have more creature variety than the most varied tributary (The mountain pass having the most at 50 different creatures, everlight crevasse being the lowest at 19 creature species) -if my counts are right anyway-
Even if this is not possible i would at least like to see some of the main stream creatures being spread out to different tributaries so at least that way there is still more of a chance of coming across them. I understand if thats not possible due to creature location/lore reasons though (Eg. lakiran platypus and lakiran seahorses being from the lake)
Also not demanding anything here either just incase what i've said has come across that way. Its more of a it would be cool if type suggestion
I know the site has other higher priority things like gold issues to deal with first
Oh, for sure, the site has bigger fish to fry. I know Rosehill does most of the programming by herself, if not all of it. There's certainly better uses of her time. So, it's a wish, but definitely not something requiring attention right now. Unlike DC, which punishes you for wanting to "cave clean" to search for the creatures you want, MS is unlimited, and those frozen creatures can be recycled by Belmos, I believe (even if you release them, I think?), and so it's more of a minor inconvenience and annoyance at the moment. I just think it would make sense as you said it: The Stream being it's own environment. I suppose having all non-Quest, -Donation, -Shop creatures popping out of the main stream does make sense in the fact that you want new members to just be able to go, "Ooh, pretty egg" and click and learn about the tributaries in time, but eventually the sheer volume of creatures is surely going to require some more distribution or re-calibration, so it doesn't hurt to bring up the fact people would like to see it, imo.

I like that. Or even a new tributary like "Ancestral Stream Preserve" that is a tributary only for the first 100 released Stream creatures (from Koi Fish to Lakiran Platypus) set up on the map above where the Stream is near the little hut.
That actually sounds so nostalgic now that I've written it out
I like your idea also. We get so few Quests anymore, having one to unlock a new area would be nice. Although, since the Platypups regularly march in formation down the Stream, I don't think they're hard enough to get to warrant being in the Ancestral home, myself.
