All I know is that I can subscribe to hundreds and hundreds of binaries
groups which depict sexual preferences, positions, deviations and
orientations I had never even imagined, and that's in addition to the
hundreds and hundreds which I spent my youth obsessed with. But no fishies.

No, I don't think that's th problem; alt.binaries.aquaria seems
perfectly conformant to the naming conventions to me. The problem is
seperate -

1) Lots of people don't carry the alt.* newsgroups at all - they're
unimaginably huge.
2) alt.binaries.* makes up the vast majority of that traffic, so lots of
people just drop alt.binaries.

While I don't know the Usenet standards as well as I know some others,
these are the reasons I've most often heard cited. And as a sysadmin,
they make perfect sense.
