go to the bottom of the page. Marine and freshwater. They will list them all and info on each GOOD LUCK

Answer 4

Wikipedia names a TON if you want some uncommon names.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish

Here's a few no-brainers off the top of my head, though:
Beta, Koi, Goldfish, Angelfish, Angler, Bass, Salmon, Trout, Shark, Swordfish, Flounder. (oh, yeah...this is just assuming you mean fish in general and not for pets alone) ;-)

Answer 5

Bass, Catfish, Bream, White Perch, Salmon, Trout, Buffalo, Gar, Tuna I don't know exactly what kind of fish you are talking about but there's some names

Answer 6

Well if you want a fish that lasts long then get a gold fish. If you want a meaner fish then get a bata fish. You don't need to know all the fish to figure out which one you want. goldshish last long and they are nice, batafish are mean and they don't last as long.

Answer 7

Yellow Tail, Zebra Fish, Clown fish, Angle Fish, Star Fish, and
the new kind of fish....Yo Momma fish! I love that fish! It insults people with "Yo Momma" Jokes! That's all I know...SORRY! ^_^

Calico Bass

dolphin, nemo (true), halibut, trout, salmon, barracuda, angelfish, catfish, bass, carp, codfish, eel, haddock, mackerel, stingray, oscar, herring, swordtail, tuna, etc.
