Comment on Mermaid Factory by jackmackhack
Still a pretty funny peril/setup, and a bit visceral and cute for the girls to be so grossed up to be turned into fake mermaids by having fish stuck up on em up to their butts and hips 
Just remembered something, I was actually going to write a fan fiction of Shantae being tied up for the Mermaid Factory and she can't get the tail off as it's actually completely stuck to her while Tuki the Snake pops out of her pot nearby to mock her. 
Going off topic, I'm trying to write my own original story with a raccoon hero with a jet pack and it's set in a world of anthro characters. But I'm not sure if I should include Mermaids? I'm not sure if they are too much of a fantasy thing as they might not make sense, plus there are no Human's on this world.

That sounds positively hilarious! 
Especially in the context that in the background of where Tuki the snake hangs out, there is a fake mermaid just lying dazed.
As for your second question. I'd say even if you had a modern/scifi setting, it'd be fairly easy to justify having mermaids as just being a secondary type of species if you had a lot of different anthro characters. Even with human upper bodies, It wouldn't see that odd given how diverse the anthro species could be I figure.

I'm a bit lost by what you mean by a "secondary type"?
Well something different than a standard anthro character (a humanoid with animal characteristics). As opposed to winged characters or mermaids.
Well mermaids traditionally have a Human-like upper body, if they were to be in my fictional universe then that would mean they would have been the result of a evolutionary split off from Humans to explain why they look like Humans on top. But the question is how did mermaids come to be? It certainly wouldn't be from thousands of Humans mating with Fish. 
Obviously the traditional Anthro make sense as something special evolved them. A fish of course would just become an Anthro fish like this beauty, www.furaffinity.net/view/16319…
However hybrid races I've not thought about, story-wise my main raccoon character has a girlfriend who is a snake which would mean they are having an interspecies love relationship.

Well, to butt in, as far as mermaids go, I don't see how they'd classify as any more unrealistic. Sounds like you have a wild and imaginative setting, so they should fit right in 
As for the anthro/human thing, you could make their upper halves more distinctly fish-like like Shantae's mermaids.

Oh yeah, the Shantae's mermaids look like a mix of the traditional mermaid but with a fish-like upper half such as having fish ears and the body skin matching the colour of the tail.
That certainly would be one way to do it. Gives em more of a fish people vibe.
