I don't know why people use "fishes" when "fish" is a perfectly acceptable term for more than one fish. In this context nobody would have assumed they were only talking about a single fish.

@Linktank "fishes" refers to multiple species of fish

3 goldfish = 3 fish

1 goldfish, 1 trout and 1 catfish = 3 fishes

Yeah, "fish" still applies in that situation.

Thy did it knowingly. They had this written at the end. A bit silly imo but I guess it has meaning for them.

*While the English language usually refers to multiple fishes as “fish”, we use “fishes” to emphasize that they are individuals.

It also sounds funnier, that's why I always use fishes

Cute fishes deserve love.
