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.

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
