fishes
Fish does have a regular plural form, but it differs in meaning from the unmarked plural; fishes refers to several species or other taxonomic types, while fish (plural) is used to describe multiple individual animals: one would say "the order of fishes," but "five fish in an aquarium."

The plural is generally regarded as 'fish' in the same way that the plural of sheep is 'sheep'. However, both fish and fishes are technically correct. The constellation of Pisces is sometimes known as 'The Fishes'
