Also, I may have been mistaken in describing the creatures as reptilian because of their tails. Wouldn't this split tail suggest an aquatic nature instead?

Salamanders are an option maybe for the green and the blue one, but like you say, they are usually associated with fire. In antiquity as well as the middle ages, the split "fish tail" was often given to water monsters. Their hanging around at the pond reinforces that interpretation. It almost looks like someone had to draw some creatures he wasn't familiar with and turned them into sea monsters just for good measure.

The mystery around Red is only getting bigger. Would you think it's possible that originally he was floating on a branch? That would explain his "bent" posture, and the extra branches. Hmm, I don't know, in your image it really looks like a tail that splits into several parts.
About the thing on the left.. there definitely seems to be a vertical structure there, but I can't make out much. One thing is sure: someone tried to hide something in this pond.
